No not really. Correct me if my understanding of that table is wrong. The
Subscription table is used more for "subscription of a product". I was
looking more of a membership to a store or group of stores where in a party
can, for example, get benefits like discounts.

well you can use subscription for that. Just have to do some tweaking.
however the marketing module lets you develop discounts based on buying
without subscriptions. See the demo eccommerce.

BTW the Party, which is how we call any person and/or company
has a point system built in per party.
so you can also use the marketing based on that.

BJ: what does discounts in a store or group of stores have to do with  
subscriptions?

Ian: more information is definitely needed, and one easy way to  
communicate it is the process you want for the company and customer to  
go through. You might consider the entities that related ProductStore  
and ProductStoreGroup to a Party in a certain RoleType, and you would  
have to write custom code for that. If you want to give discounts with  
OOTB functionality, like at price rules and promotions in the Catalog  
Manager.

Thanks David Ill take a look at those. The process that is most essential at
this point is to manage the membership of a customer to a store or a group
of stores. For this I do need entities to relate stores with a member.
Creating a table to relate Party and ProductStore / ProductStoreGroup does
look like the way to accomplish this. The next part would be to be able to
create price rules based on this relationship. I think for this Ill have to
dig deeper when creating ProductPriceConditions. Point system would be my
last requirement (like a customer can only gain points when buying from a
store that honors his/her membership).

Why not use existing ProductStoreRole, ProductStoreGroupRole entities?

David, I thought I said it was doable with subscription and tweaking.
it was not a recommendation but a way if some wanted to do something as
a membership.

Looks like we have two different approaches.
