How do I set up an auto-renew in-app purchase on iTune Connect for my iPhone app?

Question

I see the following options when I want to set up a new In-App purchase for my app:

Consumable A consumable In-App Purchase must be purchased every time the user downloads it. One-time services, such as fish food in a fishing app, are usually implemented as consumables.

Non-Consumable A non-consumable In-App Purchase only needs to be purchased once by the user. Services that do not expire or decrease with use, such as a new race track for a game app, are usually implemented as non-consumables.

Non-Renewing Subscription In the past, a non-renewing In-App Purchase subscription has been used for services with a limited duration. An example of this would be a magazine or newspaper that requires users to renew their own subscriptions. Non-renewing subscriptions can still be offered, but auto-renewable subscriptions are now preferred for the following reasons:

When creating an auto-renewable subscription, you can easily set up the various durations that you want to offer. Non-renewing subscriptions do not have this feature, so you must provide the information some other way. As this is often done in the display name, you end up with a separate listing for every possible duration. By contrast, auto-renewable subscriptions allow you to have a single listing where the user simply chooses one of the durations that you offer.

Because a non-renewing subscription requires a user to renew each time, your app must contain code that recognizes when the subscription is due to expire. It must also prompt the user to purchase a new subscription. An auto-renewable subscription eliminates these steps.

As part of iOS, an auto-renewable subscription will automatically be delivered to all devices associated with the user’s Apple ID. To make device-syncing available for a non-renewing subscription, you would have to create your own delivery system.

So how do I set up the auto-renew option that Apple suggests?

Thanks.

EDIT: Just found out that I had to accept the amendment contract in order for the option to appear.
