How To Set The Renewal Subscription Date In The Subscription Plan

Step-by-step guide to setting up subscription renewal date

Updated today

Subscription business models depend on predictable billing and delivery cycles. In Recurpay, configuring the renewal subscription date correctly ensures that recurring orders and billing happen on your desired schedule, whether it’s the 1st of every month, a specific day of the month, or a defined interval.

Recurpay allows merchants to align all subscription renewals to a specific date using an anchor renewal date, combined with a next order policy and a cut-off period.

Steps to Configure the Renewal Date

Step 1: Go To Subscription Plan

  • Go to Recurpay Dashboard → Plans

Create a new plan or edit an existing one.

Step 2: Navigate Within The Plan To The Subscription Renewal Date Section

  • Navigate to the “Renew all subscriptions on a specific date or day” option

  • Configure the plan to renew all subscriptions on a chosen day or date, regardless of their individual renewal dates

  • Select a date from the calendar dropdown to set it as the anchor date for all subscriptions under this plan

Step 3: Set The Cut-off Period - The Number of Days Before The Anchor Date

Please note that:

Step 4: Choose The Next Order Policy

  • Create order immediately – the first order is created at signup, then future orders follow the anchor date.

  • Create order in next cycle – the first order is created on the next anchor date.

Step 5: Save or Update The Subscription Plan
