I am setting up Zoho Subscriptions. I currently use woocommerce subscriptions, so I get the way it all works, and I’m used to Zoho books and Zoho project/timesheet so I’m fairly experienced in Zohos ways generally, including the sometimes frustratingly inconsistent approaches across different modules.
