Subscription templates provide a way to set up multiple customers on the same recurring subscription, without having to create it individually for each customer.
They can be assigned to existing customers via their respective customer record or, for new customers, you can invite them to set up using a specific subscription template link that assigns the subscription template to them automatically upon submission of their details via the online authorisation form.
Subscription templates are created via the Subscriptions page of your GoCardless dashboard. Once created, they can be assigned to existing customers or you can invite new customers to sign up to them directly.
