The table below list the various statuses that our Subscription can have during its life cycle.
Status | Description |
---|---|
MANDATE REGISTRATION | Authorizes automatic recurring payments for a subscription. |
CREATED | Subscription is created after receiving approval from the end-user. |
EXPIRED | The subscription moves to this state if no callback is received from the bank after mandate creation. |
TRIAL | Subscription starts in a trial state; after mandate approval, it transitions to this state. |
INACTIVE | The mandate creation fails due to a failure response from the bank. |
ACTIVE | Subscription is in an active state and can be presented to the customer. |
DEBIT SCHEDULED | Debit is scheduled. Only applicable when debit date is more than 48hrs from current timestamp.Note : If the initial debit attempt fails, Plural will automatically retry the transaction. If all retry attempts are exhausted without a successful debit, the status will change to 'Debit Failed.' The process will then resume. |
DEBIT FAILED | Plural's retries for debit execution fail twice, moving the subscription to this state. |
HALTED | After exhausting all retry attempts by both the merchant and Plural, the subscription enters the HALTED state. No further actions can be performed while in this state. |
RESUMING | Intermediate stage where a subscription transitions from PAUSED or HALTED to RESUMED. |
RESUMED | The subscription transitions to this state when either the merchant or the customer resumes it from a PAUSED or HALTED status. |
REVOKE INTIATED | The merchant or customer initiates the cancellation of the mandate. |
CANCELLED | The subscription is successfully cancelled after receiving a callback confirmation from the bank. |
COMPLETED | Upon reaching the subscription's end period, the mandate transitions to this final state. |
