If your services are temporarily unavailable, or a client won’t be using their membership for a period of time, you can pause their plan to stop their benefits and payments.
For example, if a member lets you know they’ll be traveling or unavailable and asks you to temporarily withhold their membership, you can pause their plan until they’re ready to return. During the pause, clients won’t have access to benefits or be charged.
Important:
When you pause a subscription, future payment dates are postponed by the number of paused days, instead of issuing a refund or pro-rated payment.
Pausing a membership plan or package
You can pause a customer’s membership or package. While paused, the customer can't use the plan and isn't charged. Choose when the plan resumes:
- Resume on a specific date: The plan resumes automatically on the date you select. Future payment dates are postponed by the number of paused days. You can change the resume date at any time.
- Resume manually: The plan stays paused until you decide to resume it. Payment dates are postponed by the total paused days.

- Go to Subscriptions in your site's dashboard.
- Hover over the relevant client and click View.
- Click the Manage Subscription drop-down and select Pause subscription.
