Pause a subscription

Pause a subscription order and all billing events

You can pause an Active or Failed subscription. While it's paused, BillPro collects no payments until you resume it.

To list paused orders, open Orders, click Filters, select Status › Paused, and click Apply. Paused orders have a blue pause icon.

Options to pause and resume

You can pause a subscription until you resume it yourself, or until a date. With a date, you can still resume it earlier.

If a payment falls due while the subscription is paused, you choose whether to:

  • collect it on schedule, or
  • collect it when the subscription resumes, and start a new billing cycle from that date.

To skip just one payment instead of pausing, skip its billing event. See Manage billing events. You can't collect a skipped payment later.

To end a subscription, cancel it. See Cancel a subscription.
