Requirements to Display Cancel Button
For the cancel button to be displayed:
- the subscription must have been active for 60+ days
- the subscription renewal period is not in 3 days
Remove a Subscription Product
If a subscription has more than one product line item, you can remove some or all but one of those items from the subscription. This allows customers to remove items they initially subscribed to but no longer wish to receive on each renewal.
To remove an item, you should:
- Go to My Account → Subscriptions page.
- Select the View button next to the subscription they want to modify.
- Click the cross next to the product they want to remove.
- Click OK.
After the item has been removed, the subscription’s totals are updated to remove the cost of that product.
Change Address
If want to have your products shipped to a different address, or you moved and need to update your billing address, you can change the addresses used for your subscriptions from the My Account page.
There are two methods you can use to update your address:
- Update the shipping address for one subscription; or
- Update the shipping and/or billing addresses for all subscriptions.
Change Address on One Subscription
To change the shipping address used for a single subscription, you need to:
- Go to their My Account > View Subscription page.
- Click the Change Address button next to the subscription.
- Enter the new address details in the form.
- Click Save Address.
At the base of the edit address form, you are advised that both the shipping address used for this subscription and the default shipping address for future purchases are updated. However, the shipping address for other subscriptions is not changed.
Change the Address on All Subscriptions
To change the address used for all subscriptions, you need to:
- Go to their My Account page.
- Select the Edit link next to the shipping or billing address.
- Enter the new address details in the form.
- Tick the checkbox: Update the address used for all of my active subscriptions.
- Save Address.
Change Payment Method
The Change Payment Method button can be used to update the payment method for future recurring payments, e.g., When your credit card expires, or you wish to use a different credit card than the one currently on file.
Change Recurring Payment Process
To change the payment method used for a subscription, you can:
- Go to My Account > View Subscription page.
- Click the Change Payment button.
- Enter the new payment details on the Checkout page.
- (Optional): Click the Update the payment method used for all of my current subscriptionscheckbox to update all subscriptions.
- Submit the Checkout form and return to the My Account > View Subscription page.
1 – Customer Clicks Change Payment Method Button 
2 – Customer Enters New Payment Information 
3– Payment Method Updated
Requirements for Changing Payment
It’s not always possible, or necessary to be able to change the recurring payment method on a subscription. As a result, the Change Payment Method button is only displayed if a subscription:
- Has the status of active
- Has at least one future automatic payment scheduled. There is no need to change a payment method if no payments will occur.
Resubscribe
If your subscription has expired or been canceled, you can create a new subscription with the same terms as the original subscription by resubscribing to the inactive subscription from the My Account > View Subscription page.
Clicking the Resubscribe button takes you through the normal checkout process to pay for the subscription’s renewal. Once paid, a new subscription s created with the same billing terms as the original subscription.
Resubscribing to an expired or been canceled subscription has a number of differences to purchasing the same subscription product from the product page, like not charging a sign-up fee again.
Resubscribe Requirements
- expired, pending-cancellation or canceled status
- at least one successful payment
- a recurring total more than 0
- product line items that still exist
- no product line items
- not already been resubscribed
Account Payment Methods
Payment Method Management
Saved payment methods can be managed from My Account > Payment Methods page. On this page, you can:
- set a default payment method for future transactions
- delete a payment method from your account
- add a new payment method to your account
Deleting a Payment Method
Deleting a saved payment method which is used for subscription payments would cause future renewal payments to fail because the payment method can no longer be used.
To prevent this, Subscriptions will not allow you to delete payment methods which are used by active subscriptions unless:
- you add another payment method; or
- you have one other saved payment method
If your account meets one of those criteria and deletes a payment method used by a subscription, the subscription will be automatically updated to use the alternative card, and will be notified of this after deleting the payment method.
Adding a Default Payment Method
After adding a new payment method, you may wish to then set this method as the default. For example, perhaps the old payment method has expired and you would like to add a new payment method for both existing and future subscriptions.
When a new payment method is added and set as default, an option will appear to update all the customer’s existing subscriptions to use that method.
Choosing “Yes” will cause the payment method for the existing subscriptions to change to this new default.
Early Renewal
If you would like to renew your subscription without waiting for the next payment date, that is now possible with the Early Renewal feature.
Early Renewal Requirements
Early renewal is available under these conditions:
- Subscription must have an Active status
Process an Early Renewal
In order to process an early renewal:
- Go to My account > Subscriptions
- View chosen subscription
- In the first table, the Renew Now button will appear in the Actions row
- Click Renew now and complete checkout
Next Payment Date After Early Renewal
After an early renewal is processed, the next payment date is extended to accommodate another billing period. For example, if a subscription renews monthly on the 15th and the next payment date is December 15th, then processing an early renewal on November 20th will move the next payment date to January 15th.
Adding Subscription Products
To add products to an existing subcription:
- Make sure you are logged into your Extract Labs account and go to the product page you want to add
- Hit “Subscribe and save 25%”
- Under “Add to Cart” hit the checkmark that says “Add to an existing subscription”
Price Changes
If a product price changes an email may send that shows the price change to your subscription.
Please note that we reserve the right to alter the pricing of our subscriptions at any time and without prior notification. We cannot be held responsible for any changes in price and the absence of an email regarding such changes does not affect our ability to make modifications.
