-
Trial cycle zero price excluded Report an error
“The trial dunning cycle only activates for subscriptions with a free trial applied via the plan or a coupon. Plans that start at $0 and increase after the first billing cycle do not activate the trial dunning cycle.”
-
Default end of cycle behavior Report an error
“By default, Recurly marks an invoice as failed at the end of the cycle if unpaid. A failed invoice is written off as bad debt, removing the balance from the customer's account. You can configure dunning to never auto-fail the invoice, leaving it overdue indefinitely.”
-
Recollection triggers Report an error
“The customer updates their billing details. A new subscription is added to the account (resubscribe).”
-
