Change or Extend the Subscription Duration

Subscriptions have a duration attached to it and there can be a number of circumstances under which you might be required to change the duration of a subscription. 

Use cases covered

Scenario: When your customer makes a request to extend the subscription duration and there is no change in the subscription price. 

Action: Use the Extend subscription function. The “Extend Subscription” function only changes the end date of the subscription and extends it. 

Scenario: When your customer changes their mind and wants to revert the change and set it back to its original duration. 

Action: First check the already changed end date of the subscription. Then use the “Change subscription duration” function to revert the change. 

Scenario: When your customer wants to change their subscription duration and as a result their is a change in the price of the subscription   

Action: Use the “Change subscription duration function” to change the subscription and the subscription duration.  

The function you use depends on the end result you desire.

If you only want to change the duration and do nothing with the payments attached to it, then we recommend using the "extend subscription duration" function. 

If you want to change the duration and also make changes to the subscription price, then we recommend using the "change subscription duration" function.
