v1.66
Monthly renewals on the same day; rules by payment method
Monthly subscriptions now renew on the same day each month, and automation rules can treat card and PayPal subscriptions differently.
Changed for merchants
-
Same renewal day every month. A monthly plan used to renew every 30 days, so the renewal date moved about 5 days earlier each year. It now renews on the same day of the month: started on the 5th, renewed on the 5th. In a shorter month it renews on the last day and returns to the usual day the month after. Plans set to a number of days, such as "every 30 days", are unchanged. Renewal dates already scheduled stay as they are; the new rule applies from each subscription's next renewal. See When renewals are charged.
-
Payment method condition in automation rules. In Subscriptions → Automation, a rule can now match Payment method is Card or PayPal. Use it to set a price or shipping rule for one payment method only.
