Auto-renew into a different subscription

Apply advanced scheduling to a subscription

In the FastSpring app:

1. Go to Catalog > Subscriptions 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.
6. In the dropdown, select Renew into a different subscription. A Renews Into field appears; enter the product path of the target subscription.
7. Click Save.

After a customer purchases the subscription, you can access the transaction details by viewing the Current Period (active plan) and Subscription Term (upcoming plan) fields on the subscription details page.

Webhooks

Advanced Scheduling uses the same API endpoints and webhook events as standard subscriptions. On the renewal date, FastSpring sends the subscription.updated webhook (no customer notification).

Disable advanced scheduling

To remove Advanced Scheduling, please contact FastSpring Support.

Existing subscriptions will continue to renew according to their scheduled terms. To turn off scheduling for a specific subscription, edit its Pricing and clear the Rebill for settings.
