How do I automate subscription renewals?

Describe the renewal rule in plain English and Pelcro AI Billing sets it up: it renews on schedule, charges the saved method, and sends an advance reminder, once you approve.

Can I change prices at renewal without losing subscribers?

Yes. The agent applies a new price or a step-up at each subscriber's next renewal, leaving the current term untouched and notifying them in advance.

What happens when a renewal payment fails?

Pelcro retries the charge and can hold the renewal for subscribers in arrears until the balance clears, so a failed payment doesn't silently cancel a subscription.

Do subscribers get notified before they're renewed?

Yes. You can set an advance reminder, for example 14 days before the renewal date, so subscribers can update their plan or payment method first.

What it does

Automatic renewals: Plans renew on schedule and charge the saved payment method, with no manual re-invoicing.
Advance reminders: Subscribers get a renewal notice before the charge, so there are no surprises and fewer disputes.
Intelligent renewals: The agent recalculates each renewal invoice, so price changes, proration and tax are right every time.
Reprice at renewal: Move subscribers to new pricing or a step-up at their next renewal, without touching the current term.
Hold renewals in arrears: Pause renewal for subscribers with unpaid invoices and resume automatically once they pay.
Approval-gated by default: The agent proposes the rule and shows the impact; nothing bills until you approve.
