# Creating a Subscription Plan

You must first have a Stripe Connect account with an [OAuth connection to the Camio platform](https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts) in order to create your own Subscription Plans. See the article " [How do I connect Camio to my Stripe account?](https://help.camio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005627603)".

1. Open your **Stripe Dashboard** at [https://dashboard.stripe.com](https://dashboard.stripe.com/)

2. Choose **Subscriptions** and **Plans**

3. Create the **Plan** using the [Stripe UI or API](https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/plans). Remember, you cannot change the price of a Plan after it has been created, so contact Camio to review any questions about pricing prior to creating the Plan.

4. Specify the [**camio_plan_metadata_id**](https://help.camio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000491846) in the Plan **metadata** that describes the service level and price of the Plan (shown in orange below):

# **Linking to a Plan**

You can send users links to specific plans by including the ids of the plans in the #plans= hash of the /account page like https://camio.com/account/#plans=plus,pro. If you want specific plans to appear by default only for particular users, then see the article " [Can I offer particular subscriptions plans only to specific customers?](https://help.camio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000126323-Can-I-offer-particular-subscription-plans-only-to-selected-customers-)".
