Subscriptions

Ongoing services. Recurring payments.

Set the price and billing cycle, create customer subscriptions and keep track of payments and changes.

Here’s what you can do.

Three examples show how you can use Subscriptions.

01

Define what repeats

Monthly support or an annual service package? Set a recurring product price with its amount, currency and billing cycle. That product determines the subscription’s billing cycle.

Example recurring product price: service package, €120 and monthly billing before saving. Fictional example price.

02

Set up the customer’s subscription

Once agreed with the customer, select the product and start date in their contact record. Automatic charges use an authorised saved payment method. Review the amount and schedule before confirming.

Example subscription setup for Alex Beispiel: €120 per month, start on 1 November and masked saved card before review. Not a charge confirmation.

03

Separate subscription status from payment

Open a subscription to check its customer, amount and status. Available payment history depends on the connection. An active subscription alone does not confirm every individual payment.

Example service package with Active subscription status and a separately displayed €120 payment on 1 November. Fictional data; no guarantee of future payments.

What this changes for your day-to-day work.

The practical benefits of Subscriptions.

Offer a trial period

Set a trial period in days on a recurring product. Check any setup fee too: a trial does not automatically mean there is no initial charge.

The subscription settings show trial duration separately from the setup fee.

Adapt a subscription to customer needs

Change products or quantities on eligible subscriptions. Preview the revised amount; the change applies from the next billing cycle.

A subscription product quantity is adjusted with a preview for the next billing cycle.

Let customers update their card

Share the available payment update link. Customers enter their new card details themselves rather than sending them to your team in a message.

An update link leads to the form where the customer enters their new card details.

Plan retries for failed payments

With supported connections, set retry attempts and intervals. Choose whether the subscription stays unpaid or is cancelled after the final failed attempt.

A retry rule for failed payments leaves the subscription unpaid after the final attempt.

Pause billing when needed

Pause eligible subscriptions until a chosen date or indefinitely. Deliberately choose how invoices are handled during the pause.

A billing pause until a date and the invoice handling are deliberately configured.

What you need to get started.

We check access, payment provider, saved payment methods, taxes and terms for your workflow. Before use, we test setup, charging and failure handling. Not every connection supports the same subscription actions.

The subscription belongs to the contact. Course access, deliveries and tasks need a separately configured process. Changing a subscription does not perform those steps by itself.

Availability and any add-on or usage costs are confirmed for your ONE LOOP account before implementation.

Your questions, answered.

Is a subscription the same as a recurring invoice?

No. A recurring invoice template is a separate billing process and does not appear as a subscription in this list. Subscriptions created in the membership area are not automatically included either. We check which approach fits your offer.

What happens when I change products or quantities?

For supported changes, the new amount applies from the next billing cycle. Past payments remain unchanged. Added products need the same currency and billing cycle. This update flow does not include prorated charges for the current period.

What if the first payment fails?

A contact may already exist even though no subscription was successfully created. Check the subscription and payment separately. Retries depend on the provider and enabled rules; they do not guarantee payment.

Can I pause or cancel any subscription?

Available actions depend on the provider, status and your permissions. For a pause, also choose how invoices are handled. Cancellation does not refund a payment; refunds are handled separately. Access and service delivery need their own rules too.
