Minimum orders criteria while cancelling

If the selling plan is configured with a minimum order criteria, then the customers who have purchased the subscription can only cancel the subscription after the minimum order criteria is satisfied. You can configure the messaging that is shown to the user when they attempt to cancel a subscription order before fulfilling the minimum orders criteria for their subscription. This can be configured by heading to Customer Portal > Cancellation flow > Minimum orders criteria

Here's a guide on how you can setup minimum / maximum order criteria on your selling plans.

The text that is configured on the Body section is what is shown to the customer when they attempt to cancel a subscription which has not satisfied the minimum order criteria.

What do my customers see?

After entering the customer portal, scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Cancel Subscription.” As specified in the previous section, it will start the cancellation flow.

The benefits page is shown first to the customer - this can be configured on Loop > Cancellation > Cancellation Flows > Subscription benefits page

The customer will then be prompted to select the proper reason before the subscription may be cancelled.

Post selection the customer is presented with alternatives to prevent cancellation and if they choose to cancel the subscription still then the customer will be offered the discount incentive (if configured)

On this screen, the customer will have the choice of receiving a 10% discount on the further purchases or permanently cancelling their subscription. The customer can choose to accept or reject the offer. Rejecting will lead to subscription being cancelled.
