How to Integrate Add-Ons into Your SaaS Plan Seamlessly with Lead Connector

Creating a compelling SaaS plan that truly resonates with your customers involves more than just offering core services. It’s about bundling value-added features that simplify the customer experience and elevate your offering. In this detailed guide, we'll explore how you can seamlessly integrate add-ons like WhatsApp, Yext, WordPress hosting, and client portal applications directly into your SaaS plans using HighLevel (Lead Connector) — a powerful tool to build, manage, and scale your SaaS offerings efficiently.

By the end of this article, you’ll understand how to configure these add-ons within your SaaS plans, how to price them effectively, and how to package everything into a single, attractive product for your customers — all while managing your margins carefully. Plus, we’ll show you how GFunnel’s all-in-one business ecosystem complements this process, helping you automate and optimize your SaaS sales funnel and customer experience.

Why Integrate Add-Ons Directly into Your SaaS Plan?

Previously, if you wanted to offer additional services like WhatsApp integration, Yext listings, WordPress hosting, or a client portal app to your customers, the process was a bit cumbersome. Customers had to:

• Log into their subaccounts
• Select and purchase each add-on service separately
• Manage multiple billing processes

This multi-step approach created friction and extended the time it took for customers to get full value from your SaaS offer. It also made it harder for you to control margins and present a simple, unified product.

Imagine instead if you could bundle all of these add-ons into one seamless SaaS plan. Your customers get everything they need out of the box — WordPress hosting, WhatsApp integration, Yext listings, and the client portal app — without additional setup or separate payments. You set your margins once, incorporate costs, and sell one solid, comprehensive product.

This approach not only simplifies the customer journey but also makes your offer more attractive and easier to manage on your end.

Benefits of Bundling Add-Ons in Your SaaS Plan

• Streamlined Customer Experience: Customers get all services included upfront without the hassle of multiple purchases.
• Better Margin Control: You can precisely calculate costs and markups to ensure profitability.
• Reduced Support Requests: Fewer steps mean fewer issues with setup and billing confusion.
• Increased Offer Attractiveness: Bundled plans appear more valuable and professional.

Using HighLevel (Lead Connector) for this integration ensures you have a robust platform to manage your SaaS services, billing, and customer accounts all in one place.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Add-Ons in Your SaaS Plan

Let’s dive into the exact process of configuring your SaaS plans with add-ons using HighLevel (Lead Connector). This walkthrough will help you create a seamless offer that bundles your chosen add-ons directly into your SaaS product.

1. Access Your Agency Account and SaaS Configurator

Start by logging into your agency account in HighLevel (Lead Connector). Navigate to the SaaS configurator, which is the tool dedicated to managing your SaaS plans.

Note: This process applies to the SaaS plans available in the $497 tier or above, ensuring you have the necessary features to bundle add-ons.

2. Edit Your Existing SaaS Plan

Within the SaaS configurator, select the plan you want to edit or build from scratch. Click on the “Edit Details” option to access the plan’s configuration settings.

3. Locate and Use the Add-Ons Tab

Once in the plan editor, you will find a new “Add-Ons” tab or section. This is where you can include additional services like WhatsApp, Yext, WordPress hosting, and the client portal app.

Clicking on the Add-Ons tab will present you with four options:

• WhatsApp Integration
• Yext Listings
• WordPress Hosting
• Client Portal Application

Each add-on comes with a deployment cost, which will be billed to you as the plan provider. This cost is clearly displayed within the interface, so you can factor it into your pricing.

4. Understand the Costs of Each Add-On

It’s crucial to know how much each add-on will cost you monthly before including it in your package. Here are the current pricing details:

• Yext: $30 per month
• WhatsApp: $10 per month
• WordPress Hosting (Basic Package): $10 per month
• Client Portal Application: Pricing varies (check current rates in your dashboard)

Since these add-ons are bundled, your customers won’t be billed separately for them; you absorb these costs. Therefore, you must adjust your SaaS plan pricing accordingly to maintain your margins.

5. Select the Add-Ons to Bundle

Choose which add-ons you want to include in your SaaS plan by ticking their respective boxes. For example, if you decide to include Yext, WhatsApp, and WordPress hosting but exclude the client portal app, the combined monthly cost to you would be:

• Yext: $30
• WhatsApp: $10
• WordPress: $10

Total: $50 per month

This $50 is the cost you incur for every customer that purchases this SaaS plan, so make sure to price your plan to cover this expense and your desired profit margin.

6. Adjust Your SaaS Plan Pricing

Next, navigate back to the pricing section of your SaaS plan. Here, you can set the monthly and yearly pricing for your customers.

For instance, if your base SaaS plan was priced at $197 per month without add-ons, you might want to increase it to $250 or more to cover the $50 monthly add-on cost and ensure profitability.

You can also adjust the yearly pricing to reflect this change — for example, from $2,000 to $2,500 — giving you flexibility in how you present your offer.

7. Save Changes and Finalize Your Plan

After selecting your add-ons and adjusting your pricing, click “Save Changes” to finalize the configuration. Your SaaS plan is now a bundled product that automatically includes the add-ons you selected.

When customers purchase this plan, they will receive all included services without any extra steps or separate payments, streamlining their onboarding and usage experience.

Pricing Strategy Tips for SaaS Plans with Add-Ons

When integrating add-ons into your SaaS plans, pricing strategy is crucial. Here are some expert tips to optimize your pricing:

1. Calculate Your True Cost: Add up the monthly cost of all add-ons you include to know your baseline expense.
2. Set Clear Margins: Decide on a profit margin that makes sense for your business and market. A common approach is to add 20% to 50% on top of your costs.
3. Consider Market Positioning: Your pricing should reflect the value you offer compared to competitors. Bundling add-ons can justify a premium price.
4. Offer Tiered Plans: Create multiple plans with varying add-on bundles to cater to different customer needs and budgets.
5. Be Transparent: Clearly communicate what’s included in each plan to avoid confusion and build trust.

Remember, pricing is not static. Use customer feedback and sales data to tweak your offers and maximize revenue.
