How to create a Subscription plans screen

21 Aug 2024 · 6 min read

Ionic Design Kit, built on a design base of Ionic Framework components, simplifies app development by providing designers with a range of pre-made elements. Designers can effortlessly pick and place elements, eliminating the need to create components from scratch. For developers, this means no complex coding – all components are sourced from the Ionic Framework. The result is a speedy, efficient, and collaborative process, making the Ionic Design Kit essential for both designers and developers.

The Subscription Plans Screen is a critical interface in apps offering services or content on a subscription basis. By presenting options in an easy-to-compare format, highlighting key features, benefits, and pricing, it empowers users to make informed choices. Additionally, an effective Subscription Plans Screen can drive revenue by encouraging upgrades and fostering long-term customer relationships.

This article offers a comprehensive guide, equipping designers and developers to seamlessly integrate a user-centric Subscription Plans Screen into their applications. This effortless integration is made possible by leveraging design components from the Ionic Kit, built on the robust foundation of the extensive library within the Ionic framework.

1. Install Ionic CLI with the command

Creating a project with the Ionic CLI

npm i -g @ionic/cli

2. Create a new project

To create a new project, run the following command.

ionic start subscription-screen blank --type=react

3. Get inside the project directory

cd subscription-screen

4. Create page Subscription.tsx inside src/pages and add code

import { IonPage } from '@ionic/react';

const Subscription: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <IonPage></IonPage>
  );
};

export default Subscription;

Please make sure that you've added routing in src/App.tsx for the created page. All Ionic framework components that will be used below should be imported similarly to the IonPage component.

5. Add the heading

For convenience, we will be using the layout structure recommended by Ionic for all our screens. This allows us to add header code and content inside the <IonPage></IonPage>.

<IonPage>
  <IonHeader>
    <IonToolbar>
    ...
    </IonToolbar>
  </IonHeader>
  <IonContent>
  ...
  </IonContent>
</IonPage>

6. Place the 'Logotype' title inside the toolbar

Inside the IonToolbar component, place the IonTitle with the text 'Logotype' to add a title for this page.

<IonHeader>
  <IonToolbar>
    <IonTitle>Logotype</IonTitle>
  </IonToolbar>
</IonHeader>

7. Add the Content component under the toolbar

Following the IonHeader component, add the IonContent component and apply the ion-padding-horizontal and ion-text-center classes to style the content within.

  <IonText>
    <h1>Pricing plans</h1>
  </IonText>
</IonContent>

9. Add the subtitle inside another Text component

Add another IonText component with the property color='medium' to style the text color inside. Within the IonText add the p tag with the class ion-margin and the text 'Simple, transparent pricing that grows with you. Try any plan free for 30 days.' inside.

  </IonText>
  <IonText color='medium'>
    <p className='ion-margin'>
      Simple, transparent pricing that grows with you. Try any plan free for 30 days.
    </p>
  </IonText>
</IonContent>

10. Add the <br /> tag to create a break line

11. Place the Segment component to divide the plans

Add the IonSegment component to display a group of related buttons. Set the value property as monthly on the segment to match the value of a button to select that button.

</IonSegment>

14. Repeat steps 12 and 13

Add another IonSegmentButton. Set the property value='annual' and add the text 'Annual billing' inside the IonLabel.
