Odoo Saas Kit Trial

Odoo SaaS Kit Trial offers an easy way to provide Odoo SaaS trial instances to your clients. The module makes it easier for your clients to test Saas plans of Odoo SaaS kit without paying the full cost of the plan.

The clients can simply purchase the trial of Saas instance at the set price (much lower than the plan cost) and try it for the allowed days.

Once satisfied, the client can purchase the whole plan directly from the trial instance at any time while using the trial instance.

The trial instance auto-expires after the set time is lapsed.

The module allows you to manage the separate costs of an Odoo Saas Kit plan and its trial on the same product page on the Odoo website.

It also facilitates your client to try the desired SaaS plan at a nominal cost without the obligation of making the advanced payment of the whole plan.

Check the video mentioned below for a brief overview of the module and its workflow:

• The module facilitates you to provide an easy trial of the Odoo Saas Plans of Odoo SaaS kit.
