Grace Period
- Set the Grace Period by entering the number of days you will allow a subscriber to be past due before suspending the account. For example, an account is given 5 days as a grace period before an account is automatically suspended.
- Now set a grace amount based on the total balance that is past due. For example, the total balance that is due is 5 dollars. If your grace amount is above that then the account will not be suspended.
- If you choose to apply the grace adjustment based on the balance forward and applying a payment leaves a balance above the grace amount, the account will be suspended:
- Grace amount: $5.00
- Past due: $50
- Payment: $44
- Balance: $6 – The account is suspended
- On the same page, toggle or check “Allow custom settings for individual subscribers.”
- Control the amounts and number of days for the grace period per subscriber.
- Save your work when you’re done.
Delete Incomplete Inactive Subscribers
