Subscription configuration module and method

Abstract

The various embodiments disclosed herein provide a subscription configuration module that may provide content directly to a retailer's website in order to calculate current pricing based upon subscription pricing and subsidies currently being offered by one or more mobile communications network providers. The content provided to the retailer's website matches the look and feel of the rest of the website, such that the user of the website normally is unaware that the content has been provided from another source. The subscription configuration module is always updated with the current business rules and pricing in effect for any particular provider, so that the retailer is always assured of receiving the pricing and subsidies then currently in effect, and the retailer is thus relieved of the need to continuously keep this portion of their e-commerce website up-to-date. In many embodiments, the subscription configuration module is provided by a distributor apart from the retailer and provider.
