What it does
By default, a cancellation can end a member's access the moment they click the button, even if they paid for a month or a year that has not run out yet. That often leads to confused members and billing questions. This add-on keeps access in place until the current billing cycle ends, then lets the membership expire. Members get what they paid for, and you have fewer disputes to sort out.
The plugin attaches to your existing Paid Memberships Pro setup and handles the timing automatically, scheduling the end of access for the next payment date. It works with different billing frequencies, such as monthly or yearly plans, and lets you show members clear messages about their status and when the cancellation takes effect. The remaining time before expiry also gives you a window to reach out with re-engagement or retention offers. It also reads PayPal Express next payment dates from validated PayPal IPN requests.
Best for
- Membership sites running Paid Memberships Pro
- Subscription businesses with monthly or yearly plans
- Site owners wanting fewer cancellation and billing complaints
