What it does

Subscriptions, in practice.

Any product with a billing period becomes a subscription: when the order is paid, a subscription is created per line with its period, interval, cycle limit, trial and next payment date. An hourly job claims due subscriptions atomically, creates a renewal order and charges through the gateway’s renewal method — Stripe today — with configurable retries. Customers cancel, pause and resume from their account.

Talks to: Stripe off-session charges

CapabilitiesCheckout
  • Hourly renewal job with an atomic claim — overlapping runs can’t double-charge
  • Automatic renewals through Stripe; other gateways are hidden when a cart contains a subscription
  • Configurable retry attempts, hours between retries, and cancel-after-failure
  • Renewal success and failure emails, each toggleable
  • Soft cancel (runs out the paid period), immediate cancel, pause and resume
  • Month and year advances clamped to the last valid day
  • Renewal orders tagged so they never spawn new subscriptions
  • Deleting a customer cancels their active subscriptions
Where it shows up

Storefront, admin and settings.

In the admin

  • Subscription detail with renewal history
  • Force a renewal charge now

Settings you control

  • Failed-payment retry attempts

Works with

Setup

From toggle to live in a few minutes.

  1. Enable it

    Ambikly → Add-ons → Subscriptions → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.

  2. Set it up

    Open its settings panel and set: failed-payment retry attempts; hours between retries; cancel after all retries fail; email customer on successful renewal; email customer on failed renewal.

  3. Find it in use

    The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.

  4. Turn it off without losing anything

    Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.

Where it fits

Part of the subscriptions story.

The Subscriptions add-on renews customers automatically through Stripe, never double-bills on a retried webhook, and lets subscribers pause, resume or cancel from their own account. It is one of the 35 add-ons in Pro — not a $279-a-year extension.

  • Automatic Stripe renewals
  • Customer self-service
  • No per-subscriber fees
How Ambikly handles subscriptions
FAQ

About Subscriptions.

Who owns the renewal schedule?

Ambikly does — the schedule is driven by the plugin’s own job, which keeps the add-on gateway-agnostic.

Which payment methods renew automatically?

Stripe. PayPal and the offline methods leave renewals pending so you can invoice manually.

What does Cancel do for the customer?

By default a soft cancel: access continues until the end of the paid period. Staff can cancel immediately.
