Make renewals part of the customer journey
How we help
A successful first payment does not establish the whole subscription lifecycle. The business still needs to decide when the next bill is due, what happens after a failed renewal and whether cancellation ends service immediately or at the paid-through date.
BrownBag maps your subscription offer against the capabilities of an eligible payment provider and your store or application. We implement the agreed lifecycle, link billing events to customer records and test the financial and operational consequences of each state change.

How the work is handled
Define the plan and lifecycle
Agree billing intervals, pricing, trial rules if offered and cancellation timing. Review provider account support and how plan changes, taxes and any prorated amounts should be handled with your finance owner.
Connect billing to service delivery
Implement supported subscription creation and renewal events. Map payment confirmation, failed charges and cancellations to the agreed customer messages and access or fulfilment decisions.
Test renewals and exceptions
Use provider test tools to exercise successful renewal, expired payment details, retry limits and cancellation. Confirm customer-facing status and reconcile the related charges, credits or refunds with finance.

Your questions, answered
Can every gateway support recurring payments?
Support depends on the provider, account, payment method and market. We check the actual recurring-billing capability before choosing an implementation, including how the provider handles saved payment credentials and renewals.
Can customers change plans midway through a cycle?
We can scope supported plan changes once the commercial rule is clear. Timing, proration and service access must agree with the provider’s implementation and the policy shown to the customer.
