Subscriptions from the Customer’s Perspective

When a customer subscribes to a subscription, a customer account is automatically created. There, the subscriber can find the following information about their subscription and the payments made.

Payments

Under "Payments," a list of all payments made as part of the active subscription is displayed.

Subscriptions

Under "Subscriptions," various details are displayed, and the following functions are available:

• Stop Renewal: By clicking this link, the customer can deactivate the automatic renewal of their subscription. The subscription will then expire at the end of its term.
• Payment Method: Via this link, the customer can change the stored payment method used for subscription charges.

Subscription Charge Logic

The following section describes the logic applied to failed subscription charges. It explains how retry attempts are handled, the intervals at which they are executed, and when a subscription is ultimately considered failed.

Automatic retry of failed charges

If a subscription charge fails, the subscription is automatically marked as "overdue" and remains in an automatic retry cycle for 7 days.

During this 7-day period, the system attempts to process the charge once per day, resulting in a total of seven attempts. These charge attempts are executed overnight.

If all seven charge attempts fail, the subscription is permanently marked as "failed". No further retry attempts are made thereafter.
