'subscriptions' => [
    'user' => [
        'model' => \App\Models\User::class,
        'trial_days' => 14,
        'plans' => [
            [
                'name' => 'Basic Plan',
                'description' => 'This is the basic plan.',
                'monthly_id' => 'abc',
                'yearly_id' => '123',
                'features' => [
                    '1 domain',
                    '1 server',
                    'Email support',
                ],
                'archived' => false,
            ],
