Subscriptions

To view and manage subscriptions, navigate to Orders > Subscriptions.

• Use the search to search subscriptions by subscription ID, customer surname, email address or postcode
• Use the product filter to search subscriptions by SKU code or product name
• Use the subscription status filter to display subscriptions by status, either subscribed or cancelled
• Use the state filter to display subscriptions by state, either active or archived
• The subscription's state does not affect whether or not the subscription will renew; it is used for internal organisation purposes only

The table on the subscriptions page displays each subscription:

• The amount displays the grand total of the subscription
• The total amount displays the grand total of all orders resulting from the subscription
• The status displays the subscription's status, either subscribed or cancelled
• The state column (labelled archive) displays whether the subscription is active or inactive
• To make a subscription inactive, select the checkbox for the subscription in the archived column

Select the edit option to view the full subscription details.

When viewing a subscription, you can select edit to edit the customer's details (billing name, billing address, shipping name, shipping address, email address and telephone number).

The products within a subscription cannot be edited.

Use the Internal notes / comments section to add internal notes about the subscription. These are not shown to your customer.

You can create subscriptions through your ShopWired account.

1. Navigate to Orders > Create order
2. Create the order in the standard way, adding the details for the customer
3. Ensure that all the products selected have the same billing interval and, if applicable, the same number of fixed intervals
4. Select create order

The subscription will be created along with the first initial order and an Order confirmation email will be sent to the customer.

You cannot attach billing information to subscriptions created through your ShopWired account. Each time an order is created, following the subscription's renewal, it will be assigned the order status corresponding to your ShopWired account's default order status for unpaid orders.

To cancel a subscription on behalf of your customer:

1. Navigate to Orders > Subscriptions
2. Select the subscription you want to cancel
3. Select the cancel option

When a subscription is cancelled:

• The status of the subscription changes to cancelled
• No further recurring payments will be processed
• The subscription cannot be reactivated

Your customers can also cancel subscriptions through your website. To cancel a subscription, a customer will need to log in to their account, navigate to the subscriptions page and select the cancel option for the subscription they want to cancel.

If a customer cancels a subscription through their customer account, you will not be notified.

Each time a subscription renews, and the customer's payment card is successfully charged, a new order is created replicating the products in the subscription.

To ensure that a new Order confirmation email is generated and sent to you and your customer each time a subscription renews, navigate to Orders > Order settings and select the Send an order confirmation email each time a subscription renews setting.

Orders created from subscriptions include the word subscription after the payment method name (visible when viewing the order).

If a recurring subscription payment fails to process successfully because the credit/debit card used on the subscription was declined by the card-issuing bank, a new order will not be created for the subscription.

When using ShopWired Payments, the customer's card will be automatically retried up to 8 times over a 2 week period using Stripe's automatic retries feature.

When using Stripe, the customer's card will be automatically retried according to the retry settings you've set in your Stripe account - contact Stripe support for assistance.

If you'd like all subscription payments to be processed on the same day (only applicable for subscriptions on a monthly period), navigate to Apps > Installed > Subscriptions and set your desired billing day in the Subscriptions billing day setting.

The display of subscription information on your website is determined by your website's theme. The subscription app is preconfigured on ShopWired Version 3, 4 and 5 themes and you do not need to make any changes to your theme files.
