Usage
↑ Back to topHow does it look on the customer panel
↑ Back to topWhen your subscriber wants to cancel their subscription in the dashboard they’ll see the cancel button with the text you’ve set up for this particular subscription product.
If they click on the cancel/notice button then they’ll see a confirmation message that their subscription has been cancelled and will be able to see when is their next payment and the date their subscription will run out (after the notice period).
How is the end date of the subscription calculated
↑ Back to topThe plugin will take the date your customer cancels and add the notice period you set up. Then the subscription will be active until the next renewal date after the notice period ends.
Example: if you have a monthly subscription renewing every first of the month with a 2 month notice period, if your customer cancels the 15 January the subscription will run till the 31st of march. You’ll still bill your customer the 1st of February and the 1st of March.
