Purchasing an Online Subscription

To obtain specifications and values from Price Digests, a subscription is required. To choose the subscription that best meets your needs, click on the “Plans” tab in the top navigation of the app.pricedigests.com to begin.

Price Digests offers both Combo Packages, which grant access to multiple types of assets and Individual Packages, which offer access to one type of equipment.

• Individual Package subscriptions are the most straightforward way to get access to a single asset type.
• Combo Packages are a cost-efficient way to subscribe to multiple asset types or even access all equipment segments.

 

Price Digests also offers Single Vehicle Search credits, which give you access to view one valuation in our database within one of the asset types we offer.  To purchase these, please navigate to the “Single Vehicle Search subscriptions.

Additional enterprise solutions are available to meet any of your specific business needs. For details, contact: (888)-488-2062.

Step 1:  Selecting Your Price Digests Purchase

Each purchase option includes a short description of the data accessible in that product as well as its cost.  You also have the opportunity to make your subscription a one-time annual purchase by selecting “One Year Access” or a recurring annual purchase automatically charged to your credit card yearly by selecting “Annual Continuous Subscription”. To move forward with your subscription purchase, click the green “Add to Cart” button.

To view a long description in more detail of the database offerings, select the title of the package to read more.

From this screen, to move forward with your subscription purchase, click the green “Add to Cart” button.  You can also select the one-time billing or continuous billing using the drop-down below the green button.  “One Year Access” will charge you now once to get a one-year subscription whereas “Annual Continuous Subscription” will charge your credit card automatically on a yearly basis every year until you cancel the subscription.

If you select “View Your Cart”, you will see the following screen:

Here you can verify the purchases you’re about to make. You can remove any purchases with the green “x” in the top right of each subscription.

Reviewing the search results, confirm that the Make, Model, and Year is correct and select the search result that matches your criteria.

Step 3 - Choose Single Look-up or Annual Subscription

Before you’re able to go any further, there will be a prompt to become a subscriber or purchase the Single Search Credit.

Renewing a Subscription (Single User)

Price Digests enabled the ability for Single Users to renew their subscription on their own in November of 2020.  A Single User is defined as any account that has one user; for instance a local dealership that has one person with their own username and password.   A Multiple User Account is defined as any account that has more than one user; for instance an office of 10 people were each person had their own user name and password.  Single Users and Multi Users will see different messaging when it’s time to renew because of the complexity in renewing these two different accounts.  For now, we will walk through the renewal process for a Single User.

When your subscription is 60 days from expiration, banners will begin appearing on the Price Digests Website:

This banner will follow along throughout the website experience until dismissed by clicking the grey “X” on the far right.  Once dismissed, the message will not show again for 5 business days.

If the “Click here to view” is selected on the banner message, the website will direct you to the Account Settings:

 

Here you will be able to see the expiration date of your subscription in red.  There is also a green “Renew Your Subscription” button.  When you click on this button, you send it to our secure payments site which you will need to re-enter your username and password in order to continue.

Once you have successfully entered your username and password, you will be directed to the renewal summary page:

On this page, you’ll have a chance to review the items that are up for renewal.  Each bundle of renewable subscriptions will be listed together under “Renewable Subscriptions” and then a number.  Please review each bundle separately.

When you’re ready to renew, you have a choice to renew for one year or to set your account to an automatic annual renew.  In order to get on the auto-renewing account, you’ll need to acknowledge the annual credit card statement by selecting the box.

 

Once you’ve selected your renewal style, you’ll be sent to the checkout.  Please review your information, enter your credit card here, and submit your purchase.

Once you’ve submitted your purchase, you’ll be directed to the completed purchase page.  From here you can either select the logo or the text to get sent back to the Price Digests website. Your renewal will be complete at this point.

Please note, if you choose to put off the renewal until 30 days to expiration, the banners will turn orange to indicate the renewal urgency.  You’ll also notice that the banner will appear each time you log in rather than re-appearing weekly.  Again, this is to communicate the urgency of the renewal.

Renewing a Subscription (Multiple Users)

Price Digests enabled a notification system for renewals for Multiple Users Accounts.  A Single User is defined as any account that has one user; for instance, a local dealership that has one person with their own username and password.   A Multiple User Account is defined as any account that has more than one user; for instance, an office of 10 people where each person had their own user name and password.  Single Users and Multi Users will see different messaging when it’s time to renew because of the complexity in renewing these two different accounts.  Next, we will walk through the renewal process for Multiple User Account.

When your subscription is 60 days from expiration, banners will begin appearing on the Price Digests Website:

This banner will follow along throughout the website experience until dismissed by clicking the grey “X” on the far right.  Once dismissed, the message will not show again for 5 business days.

If the “Click here to view” is selected on the banner message, the website will direct you to the Account Settings:

Here you will be able to see the expiration date of your subscription in red.  There are also directions on who to contact for your renewal.  Typically for Multi-User Accounts, all users are paid by the person of contact or the Internal Account Administrator.  This person will need to reach out to Price Digests before we can renew the account.

Please note, if you choose to put off the renewal until 30 days to expiration, the banners will turn orange to indicate the renewal urgency.  You’ll also notice that the banner will appear each time you log in rather than re-appearing weekly.  Again, this is to communicate the urgency of the renewal.
