How Does circuly Handle Subscription Renewal?

circuly offers flexible options for managing subscription renewals, allowing you to choose between automatic and manual renewals based on your business needs.

Introduction

Subscription renewal is a critical part of managing a subscription-based business, ensuring that customers continue to have access to your products or services without interruption. Renewals are a common feature of a subscription management solution like circuly and circuly offers flexible options for managing subscription renewals, allowing you to choose between automatic and manual renewals based on your business needs.

Feature Overview

  • Automatic Renewal: In circuly, you can define in your settings whether you want subscriptions to automatically renew. Once you set this, all subscriptions will follow the same rule. You can choose to renew subscriptions for their original duration or a custom duration, giving you the flexibility to adjust the renewal period according to your business needs.
  • Manual Renewal: Each subscription also offers the possibility of manual renewal on an individual level. If you prefer not to renew subscriptions automatically, and instead want to wait for customer indication or approval, you can manage renewals manually. This approach is useful if you want to offer customers the option to extend their subscription based on their preferences.

Additionally, you can decide on the extension price once a subscription is renewed. This allows you to set a different price for the extended period, which can be useful if your business model includes offering a discount, increasing the price, or adjusting the rate for long-term subscribers.
