Zion provides great tool to associate multiple plans to one subscription. This is very important use case when customer subscribes to more than one services from merchant system. Classic use cases are TV subscriptions where customer can have a monthly subscription plan of 300 Rs and chooses to subscribe sports pack during football world-cup for limited period. In such cases, merchant can update existing subscription with new plan which can run for limited period and then automatically stops.
