Understanding Backdated Subscriptions and Activation Settings

Understanding Backdated Subscriptions and Activation Settings

Managing subscriptions effectively is crucial for ensuring that users receive the correct benefits and billing periods. Understanding how activation settings impact subscription dates.

Example

  • Customer: William Peichel
  • Plan: Unlimited Week
  • Intended Start Date: 6/11/2024
  • Expected Cancellation Date: 6/18/2024
  • Actual Cancellation Date: 7/4/2024

  • Issue: The cancellation date was set incorrectly due to the activation setting.

    Analysis: The discrepancy in the cancellation date occurred because the subscription activation was set to the user's first visit instead of the sale date. This setting caused the system to calculate the subscription period starting from the first visit rather than the intended start date.

    Steps to Resolve and Prevent Future Issues

    Adjust Activation Settings:
    1. To set the activation date to the 'Sale Date', navigate to 'Manage' then 'Pricing' and click on 'Continue'


    1. Select "Sale Date" as the activation trigger. This ensures that the subscription period starts from the date of purchase.


    Properly setting the activation date for subscriptions is essential to ensure accurate billing and service periods. By following the steps outlined above, you can avoid similar issues and provide a seamless experience for users.
