# Overview
> Set up subscription plans and manage your subscribers
Subscriptions power your plans and recurring shipments in Marzipan.
There are two things to understand:
* A **package** (also called a plan) is the template a customer subscribes to.
* A **subscription** is one customer's individual instance of that package.
### Package types
Packages come in three **types**:
* **Fixed** - the customer receives the same items each time.
* **Variable** - you schedule changing shipments over time.
* **Pick & Mix** - the customer chooses their own items each cycle.
### Pricing
**Pricing** works one of two ways: a single **fixed** price for the whole package, or **per-item** pricing where each pick-and-mix item is priced individually.
### The Subscriber tag
Customers with an active subscription are automatically given a **Subscriber** tag. This tag is used for subscriber pricing and for building customer segments.
## Subscriptions
To view your subscriptions:
1. Log in to your Marzipan account
2. Click on **Subscriptions** in the main navigation menu
3. The list displays every customer subscription across all of your packages
The list has the following columns:
* **Customer** - the subscriber
* **Package** - the package they subscribe to
* **Started** - when the subscription began
* **Renews** - the next renewal date
* **Type** - `fixed`, `variable` or `picknmix`
* **Market** - only shown on multi-market stores
* **Status** - the current subscription status
Click on any subscription in the list to view its [subscription details](/subscriptions/details).
### Filtering and searching
You can refine the list with:
* Filter by **item**
* Filter by **Status** - Active, Cancelled, Expired or Suspended
* Filter by **market**
* Filter by **start date**
* A **Cancelled/Expired date range**
* **Search**
### Exporting subscriptions
Click **Export** to download the subscriptions in the table as a CSV file.
Apply filters *before* clicking the export button to only export the subscriptions you need.
### Subscription Insights
For reporting on your plans, use **Subscription Insights**, where you can review performance and **export** the underlying data. See [Insights](/insights/overview) for more.
