Feature Request: Enhanced Control Over Subscription Auto-Renewals

Hello HubSpot Community,

I hope everyone’s finding great value in HubSpot’s tools. I want to discuss a potential improvement to the subscription management features that could benefit many of us.

Currently, HubSpot allows us to cancel or pause subscriptions, but lacks a specific feature many businesses find crucial: the ability to enable or disable auto-renewal for subscriptions. This feature is essential for providing customers with greater control over their subscription choices and aligning with best practices in subscription management.

Many platforms allow users to turn off auto-renewal at the end of their current billing period, ensuring they are not automatically charged for a new period without prior confirmation. Implementing this feature could enhance customer satisfaction by giving them more control over their payment options and help businesses improve their subscription management efficiency.

Proposed Feature:

  • Auto-Renewal Toggle: Allow both clients and administrators to toggle auto-renewal on or off for any active subscription. This setting should be accessible via the client’s subscription management panel as well as the administrative dashboard.
  • Notification System: Send notifications to clients and admins a set number of days before the auto-renewal is due, providing an opportunity to review and adjust the setting if necessary.

Introducing this feature could not only improve user experience but also reduce the number of support queries related to unintentional renewals and cancellations.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this or see if others feel the same need!
