How does cumulative category work?

The cumulative category option streamlines the upgrade process for clients, enabling them to move from their current product to a higher-tier one by simply paying the difference in cost between the two products. This system plays a crucial role in establishing a tiered framework among our products, accommodating both lifetime and temporary products. Understanding the Cumulative Categories System:
  • For Lifetime Products: If a customer has bought a product with lifetime access (Product A) for $10 and decides to upgrade to a higher-tier product (Product B) priced for $30, they simply pay the difference, which is $20.
  • For Temporary Products: The upgrade process for customers with temporary products considers the remaining time and the initial purchase price. For example, if a $15 product has 10 days remaining on a 30-day period, and the customer wishes to upgrade to a $30 product, a proportionate discount is applied. In this scenario, a $5 discount reflects the value of the remaining time, so the customer would pay $25 to upgrade.
It is important to keep in mind that the history of product purchases is meticulously tracked with the cumulative categories feature. This ensures that customers who have previously bought a product within this tiered system qualify for a discounted upgrade price in the future. Impressively, this discount remains valid indefinitely for lifetime products and is proportionately calculated for term-based products, guaranteeing that all customers can advantageously utilize it beyond the initial period. To activate this feature for products, simply enable the cumulative option on the category editing screen.
