More options for setup fees on SaaS plans

Here are some suggested improvements to setup fees on SaaS plan products:
* Allow setup fees to be edited after creation
* Allow coupons to be applied to setup fees
* Allow calculation of affiliate commission on setup fees
* Option for prorated setup fees on plan changes. If someone upgrades to a higher plan, currently they will be charged the full setup fee. I'd want them to pay only the difference between the setup fee of their current plan and the new plan.

One very practical improvement on this topic would be the ability to delay the payment or subscription start date by a few days without having to implement a free trial. You can currently do this with Stripe, I believe, but then you can't auto-create your sub accounts via SaaS without a webhook.
The use case would be on a sales call and overcoming an objection where they want to move forward but they need to talk to their spouse or partner, etc. You could get them over the bridge by just going ahead and getting them to commit and check out and telling them you'll delay payment for three days. Right now, if you adjust your trial period in GHL, it wipes out the setup fee, and then you have to go back and change and edit that again in the product, or you have to do it directly in via Stripe payment link, which then screws up your sub account creation.
Also, it would be nice to be able to change the word "setup fee", as a lot of people are turned off by the term "setup fee". Just make it where we can customize it to whatever we want. I feel like "onboarding fee" would be a good option, but just the ability to customize the name would be nice.
Also, I believe this is in another chat about the ability to make coupons connected directly to either the setup fee or the subscription, but instead of only being across the board to both.
Main thing here, in my opinion, though, is the ability to be able to delay the payment for a specific period of time very easily and quickly. While on a call, probably the best way that would be via a payment link. Just delay the subscription: maybe go ahead and process our card for $1 to verify it's a good card, and it goes ahead and starts sub account, fires everything off like normal, but just delay the actual payment for a few days while still retaining the setup fee.

Coupons for setup fee on SaaS plans

I'd really like to have coupons that apply only to the setup fee on SaaS plans. Currently I'm having to create a new plan for each discount I need to offer on the setup fees. Or another possibility would be for the 'price override' on checkout pages to allow a price override on the setup fee.

I'd like to be able to pay affiliates a percentage of the setup fee for my SaaS plans, along with the monthly fee.
