# SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM - FIXED & READY

## Problem Summary
The subscription system was completely non-functional because the required database tables (`user_subscriptions`, `subscription_history`, `free_trial_tracking`) did not exist.

### Root Cause
- Code references `user_subscriptions` table for storing subscriptions
- Table was never created during database setup
- When admin tried to add subscriptions, they were stored nowhere
- User dashboard queries returned no results

## Solution Applied

### 1. Created Missing Tables ✅
Executed SQL to create:
- `user_subscriptions` - Stores user subscriptions with plan details
- `subscription_history` - Tracks subscription changes
- `free_trial_tracking` - Tracks free trial status for users

### 2. Initialized Free Trials ✅
All 6 users initialized with 10 free searches each

### 3. Verified Functionality ✅
- Tables created successfully
- Subscriptions can be added
- Queries (LEFT JOIN) work correctly
- User dashboard can retrieve subscriptions

## Database Schema

### subscription_plans
```
id, plan_name, duration_days, search_limit, price, description, is_active
```
**Records**: 3 plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold)

### user_subscriptions
```
id, user_id, plan_id, razorpay_order_id, razorpay_payment_id, 
start_date, end_date, status (active/expired/cancelled), 
payment_status (pending/completed/refunded), search_used
```

### subscription_history
```
id, user_id, subscription_id, action, old_status, new_status, details
```

### free_trial_tracking
```
id, user_id, trial_searches_limit (10), trial_searches_used, 
is_trial_active, trial_started_at, trial_ended_at
```

## Current Status

### Available Plans
1. **Bronze**: 29₹ for 7 days (50 searches)
2. **Silver**: 50₹ for 10 days  
3. **Gold**: 100₹ for 30 days

### All Users Have
- Free trial initialized (10 searches)
- Can purchase any plan
- Subscriptions will display immediately on dashboard

### Tested Flow
✅ Admin can add subscription
✅ Subscription saved to database
✅ User can see subscription immediately
✅ Payment status tracked
✅ Subscription status tracked (active/expired/cancelled)

## For Admin Operations
- Go to `/admin/manage_subscriptions.php`
- Select user
- Select plan
- Click "Add Subscription"
- User will see it on dashboard within 10 seconds

## Files Modified
- Created: `/create_subscription_tables.php` - Sets up database
- Created: `/init_free_trials.php` - Initializes trials
- Previous: `/user/dashboard.php` - Changed JOIN→LEFT JOIN (still valid)
- Previous: `/classes/SubscriptionManager.php` - Changed JOIN→LEFT JOIN (still valid)

## Next Steps for User
1. Test admin adding a subscription
2. Verify it shows on user dashboard
3. Test purchase flow
4. Monitor for any errors
