Subscription Renewal in AuditBLOOM
Subscription renewal in the AuditBLOOM system allows you to automatically continue your subscription plan, ensuring continuous access to all system features. Enabling this option prevents downtime and ensures the stability of your portal.
How Subscription Renewal Works
-
Automatic renewal enabled:
- Invoice sending: 10 days before the plan expires, the system sends a payment invoice to the designated payer.
- Payment and continuation: After the invoice is paid, the system automatically renews the subscription with the current settings, including the number of users and subscription period.
-
Automatic renewal disabled:
- No invoice: You will not receive an invoice to continue using the service.
- Access termination: After the current subscription expires, you will not be able to use the service due to insufficient funds in your account. Only the billing functionality will remain available.
