How to automatically schedule changes to subscriptions/memberships
Change Schedules
Change Schedules provide the ability for membership/subscription updates to setup to scheduled ahead of time. On the schedule date, an automated process will apply the updates requested.
The types of schedules that are available are:
-
Once off:
This allows for a person to book a schedule that will occur on a particular date and will be restored back to that option once that date is completed. For example, in a wine club, someone may update their order quantity from 1 to 2 during the month of December, then have it restored to 1 for January. -
Ongoing:
This option will apply a permanent update effective on the from date. An example of this might be for a wine club subscription where someone asks for their order to be change from a white pack to a red pack from the beginning of next year. -
Recurring:
The Recurring Option allows for schedules to be setup that occur every year. The option is very similar to the Once off option, but will continue year after year. An example of this option is for a wine club subscriber that has Whites every Summer and Reds for every winter.
