BETA is manages subscription lifecycles internally, handling all billing intervals, pauses, and cancellations directly within the platform.
This means that any changes to a subscription’s lifecycle, such as pausing or resuming, will be configured directly through BETA, while payments themselves continue processing through the chosen integrated provider. This approach helps ensure consistency across different payment providers.
<aside> <img src="/icons/gradebook_lightgray.svg" alt="/icons/gradebook_lightgray.svg" width="40px" /> Subscription A subscription is a recurring Pass Price that is automatically billed, at regular intervals, to a customer to receive a product e.g. a monthly membership.
Subscriptions reissue the entries attached to the price at every set interval, after a payment is successfully processed.
Prices in subscriptions MUST be recurring prices, be it Pass Prices, or Recurring Prices.

It automatically deducts funds from a debit or credit card, ensuring payments are made on time without needing manual action. Unlike direct debits, where bank details are used, recurring payments use credit card details for authorization.
Any recurring prices in a transaction will be turned into subscriptions, grouped by their recurrence period. For example, when purchasing a three-month recurring pass and two one-month recurring passes in a single transaction, two subscriptions will be set up: one with the two one-month prices and one with the three-month price.
Recurring Extras are available on Enterprise and above.
