Subscription with Automatic Renewal (AR)
Overview
Auto-renewable subscriptions allow the customer to purchase renewals automatically to extend their previously purchased products having limited validity periods (terms).
The product validity period provides the customer with a particular period during which they can use the purchased product; e.g. 30 days, 3 months, 1 year.
With auto-renewable subscriptions (AR, Auto Renewal), the system creates renewal orders and debits payments for them automatically. More details on how it works.
