 Subscription products can be sold in the Odoo *eCommerce* shop just like regular sales products.
 
-However, by default, the eCommerce product page **only** displays the shortest recurrence period
-listed in the :guilabel:`Recurring Prices` tab of the product form.
-
-For example, if a subscription product has *monthly* and *annaul* recurrence periods configured,
-then *only* the monthly price appears on the eCommerce page for that product, by default.
-
-To add more recurrence periods to the eCommerce product page, create a *product variant* for each
-recurrence period.

+Selling eCommerce subscriptions
+===============================
 
-To set up each recurrence period as a product variant, go to :menuselection:`Subscriptions app -->
-Products --> Products`, and select a product. In the :guilabel:`Attributes & Variants` tab, click
-:guilabel:`Add a line`.
+:doc:`Configure the subscription product <products>`  as a regular recurring sales product. To
+start selling the subscription in the eCommerce shop, click the :guilabel:`Go to Website` smart
+button to navigate to the product page.
 
-Then proceed to create an :guilabel:`Attribute` called `Billing Period` (or something similar), by
-typing in the name, and clicking :guilabel:`Create` from the mini drop-down menu that appears. This
-attribute name appears as option heading on the product page of the eCommerce shop.
+From here, review the subscription product and its recurring periods. Then, toggle the switch in the
+upper-right corner from :guilabel:`Unpublished` to :guilabel:`Published`.
 
-Next, create :guilabel:`Values` that correspond to the recurrence periods that are configured in
-the :guilabel:`Recurring Prices` tab of the product form.
+The new subscription product is now available to purchase on the eCommerce website, with options
+for the different recurring periods.
 
-To do that, type in the name of the recurrence period in the :guilabel:`Values` column, on the same
-:guilabel:`Attribute` line, in the :guilabel:`Attributes & Variants` tab. Then, click
-:guilabel:`Create` from the mini drop-down menu that appears.
-
-These value names appear as selectable options on the product page of the eCommerce shop.
