Subscription Statuses

Sublium supports various subscription statuses to provide clarity on the lifecycle stage of a subscription. 

Each status reflects the current state of the subscription and allows store administrators to take appropriate actions. 

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

StatusDescriptionNotes
PendingA subscription has been created but is awaiting payment confirmation. This often applies to manual or delayed payment methods.Wait for payment confirmation before activating the subscription.
TrialingThe subscription is in a trial period, offering customers access without an upfront charge. Billing begins after the trial ends.Helps encourage new sign-ups by reducing purchase barriers.
ActiveThe subscription is fully operational with regular billing and product or service delivery.Normal status, ongoing billing and fulfillment.
On HoldThe subscription has been temporarily paused by the admin or customer. No billing or delivery occurs during this time.Can be reactivated manually when needed.
