Auto-renew into a different subscription

Use Advanced Scheduling to configure your subscription for a fixed number of billing cycles that automatically renew into a new subscription plan. After renewal, pricing, billing frequency, and rebill count are updated to the new subscription.

In the FastSpring app:

1. Go to Catalog > Subscription Plans and select the subscription to update.
2. In Pricing, click Edit. The Edit Subscription Pricing modal opens.
3. Set Subscription Type to Standard.
4. In the Billing Cycle dropdown, select the frequency of rebills for the initial subscription.
5. Under Length, select the Rebill for radio button. Enter the total number of charges (including the initial purchase) to charge the customer before the subscription renews into a new one.
