Setting a grace period

Set a grace period to allow clients more time if the recurring payment for their subscription fails. This is the time they have to resubmit payment before their subscription cancels automatically. While in a grace period, your client still has access to all benefits in their subscription.
This setting applies to all subscriptions. If a subscription’s billing cycle is shorter than your chosen time period, the grace period will be as long as the subscription’s billing cycle.
If you enable recurring retries, the system automatically attempts to collect payment from the customer's existing payment method every 24 hours for the duration of their grace period. 
  1. Log in to Base44.
  2. Go to your app editor.
  3. Click Dashboard.
  4. Click Overview.

  6. Click Subscriptions.
  7. Click Subscription Settings.
  8. Enable the toggle next to Grace Period. 
  9. Enter the duration of the grace period you want to offer clients who miss their recurring payments.
  10. Click the toggle next to Retry a customer's payment method automatically during grace period to choose how you want to retry payments during the grace period:
    • Enabled: The system automatically makes multiple attempts to collect payment from the customer's existing payment method.
