How to set auto-expiry for subscription in Recurpay

Automatically stop subscriptions after a certain number of orders

Recurpay allows you to control whether a subscription continues indefinitely or ends automatically after a specific number of billing cycles. This gives you more flexibility, especially if you offer fixed-period subscriptions like “3-month prepaid” or “6 deliveries only” plans.

Step 1: Go to your Subscription Plan

From your Recurpay dashboard, open the "Plans" section and click on the plan you want to modify.
​


Step 2: Scroll down to Auto cancel subscription

You’ll see two options under this section:

  1. Do not cancel subscription automatically

  • This means the subscription will continue to renew automatically until the customer cancels it themselves.

  • Best for ongoing/regular subscriptions such as coffee, pet food, or vitamins that customers order repeatedly.

2. Cancel subscription automatically after "X" orders

  • This option lets you automatically end a subscription after a fixed number of renewals.

  • Perfect for prepaid or limited-period plans like “3-month coffee subscription” or “6 deliveries of skincare products.”

  • Simply enter the number of orders after which you want the subscription to end.


Example

Let’s say you select “Cancel subscription automatically after 6 orders.”
Once the customer receives their sixth subscription order, Recurpay will automatically mark their subscription as Completed, and they won’t be charged again unless they re-subscribe.

Click on "Save button" to save the changes.
​

Pro tip : If you’re creating a prepaid or fixed-period plan, you can combine this setting with your Prepaid Subscription setup to give customers full clarity.
