Business logic
Next to plans prices differ depending on:
● Individual or organization (VAT)
● Edition of Liferay (additional costs per billing cycle for
PCE)
Difficult to manage with Braintree since:
● No VAT calculations
● Add-ons with Euro 0,- not possible
Business logic:
● Yearly = 11 months also for PCE
● Calculates if VAT (21%) should be paid

Getting a Firelay
1. Select product-plan combination
2. Select edition-version combination
3. Fill in credit card data
4. Fill in billing information
a. Individual or organization
b. Country (NL, EU, outside EU)
5. Checks:
a. Required fields
b. Braintree verification credit card
c. Subscription incl. price FIS -> Braintree
d. Braintree charges credit card and creates subscription
6. All checks ok -> FIS provisions Firelay
