Change Plan from Customer Portal
The variety of Splynx settings complements an out-of-the-box customer portal system to help the customers manage their account. Among other things, the portal lets your customers request the change or change their tariff plans by themselves. The last self-serve option will reduce the need for your customers to contact your support team for their tariff management. As a result it gives you the time to focus on other important aspects of your business. This comprehensive guide reviews the settings that the administrator can adjust to enable or disable certain features.
Important:
It's required to have more than one Internet/Voice/Recurring plan in Splynx in order to send a request or change from one service to another. After that double check if the necessary tariff plans are selected in the Tariff plans available in customer portal field of the current customer's plan.
Example: a customer uses 100Mbps as his current Internet service and wants to change it to Ethernet_500Mbps plan or just send the request to change the plan by support representative. To maintain such capability, the administrator should add a new Ethernet_500Mbps plan into Splynx. Then, go back to the list of all Internet tariff plans and near the Ethernet_100Mbps, in Actions column, click on 
Tariff plans available in customer portal in drop down list choose newly created plan (-s) - Ethernet_500Mbps and press Save button.
Follow the step-by-step guide to configure the required settings:
