You have the option of offering existing modules for each plan. When the customer books the plan, the module is also activated immediately without having to pay for it separately. If the customer cancels the plan, the module is also cancelled. ## Set a default plan After you have created all your plans, you can select a plan to act as the `default` plan. This means that when a customer registers without directly booking a plan, the default plan is automatically activated. {% hint style="info" %} You need at least a free or a plan with test days. {% endhint %}
