Question

What would be a optimal solution to design database to handle Subscriptions

Eg I have subscription plans which consists of :

• Price

• Validity : eg 6 months, 1 Month

• Credits : Eg 100, 1 Credit/Booking

How to track the usage and maintain history of the user's subscriptions.
Manage Renewals / Expire Plans

Answer 1

You should have the following tables

1. Customers

2. Subscriptions

3. Price plans (references subscription)

4. Price plan line items (references price plan)

5. Customersubscriptions (references customers and subscription)

6. CustomerSubscriptionHistory

7. Credit types

8. CustomerCredits (references customer & credit types)

9. CustomerCreditHistory

10. Invoice ( reference customer)

11. PaymentTypes (cash, card, bitcoins etc...)

12. PaymentHistory (can track failure & success in 1 table)

I have listed the entities based on my understanding, HTH
