Customer Self-Service

Control which subscription management actions are available to your customers in the customer portal. You can independently enable or disable pausing and canceling per product.
Self-service settings are configured per product. Go to Products > edit a product > Customer Portal Actions to manage these settings.

Portal Actions

Pause Subscription

Customers can temporarily pause their subscription from the portal. Billing stops until they resume.

Cancel Subscription

Customers can request cancellation. Depending on the cancellation mode, this either creates a cancellation request with a notice period or cancels immediately.

Configuring Per Product

Each product has two independent toggles in the Customer Portal Actions section:
SettingWhat It ControlsDefault
Allow Subscription PauseShows/hides the Pause button in the customer portalEnabled
Allow Subscription CancelShows/hides the Cancel button in the customer portalEnabled
These toggles work independently — you can allow pausing but not canceling, or vice versa.
For high-value subscriptions, consider disabling self-service cancellation and directing customers to contact you directly. You can keep the pause option enabled as a middle ground.

Cancellation Modes

When cancellation is enabled, you can choose between two modes:

Request Mode (Default)

The customer submits a cancellation request with a reason and optional message. A support ticket is created, and the subscription remains active during the notice period. This gives you the opportunity to:
  • Understand why the customer is leaving
  • Offer alternatives or discounts
  • Properly wind down linked services (domains, etc.)
See Cancellation Requests for full details.

Immediate Mode

The subscription is canceled instantly when the customer clicks cancel, after a confirmation prompt. No notice period, no support request.
