Hey @GLePage! Thanks for your post.

~~From what I understand with Payment Subscriptions, the existing Subscription~~~~ _should_ ~~~~continue when the payment method is updated.~~ Do you have any examples of new subscriptions created by just updating a payment method? I’d love to see these for more context.

As for the update payment method link, I agree that sending that manually or through automation would be super convenient. It appears we aren’t the only ones hoping for this either-- check out[this existing Idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Add-quot-Update-payment-method-quot-link-as-a-token-in-emails-in/idi-p/714254)on our forum. I upvoted it! Be sure to upvote and add your use case to keep the momentum 😊

Let’s invite some of our experts to confirm that update payment behavior: @danmoyle, @Humashankar, @louischausse can any of you confirm the behavior described here? When a payment method is updated for a Subscription, a net new subscription is created, and the original one is not continued.

Best,  
Kennedy
