Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-Renewal | Yes | Whether the plan renews automatically at the end of each cycle |
| Billing Frequency | Yes | The billing interval — Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, or Daily |
| Cycle Multiplier | No | Multiplier for the frequency (e.g. 3 with Monthly = quarterly) |
Common Configurations
| Billing Goal | Frequency | Multiplier | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Monthly | 1 | Billed every month |
| Quarterly | Monthly | 3 | Billed every 3 months |
| Semi-annual | Monthly | 6 | Billed every 6 months |
| Annual | Yearly | 1 | Billed once per year |
| Weekly | Weekly | 1 | Billed every week |
Expected Behavior
- Auto-renewal is enabled by default.
- The Cycle Multiplier defaults to 1 if not explicitly set.
- The billing frequency and multiplier together determine the effective renewal interval.
Edge Cases / Notes
- Disabling auto-renewal means the plan expires at the end of the current cycle and the customer must manually resubscribe.
- This section only appears for SVOD plans. Other plan types do not have recurring billing.
