Post Subscriptions and Buyer Renewal State
How recurring and one-time post access appears from the buyer side, what renewal status means, and what happens when cancellation is scheduled.
Where you see this in the app
The buyer-side subscription management page is Settings → Post subscriptions.
This page lists recurring and one-time access purchases tied to posts and gives the buyer a direct way to open the post or manage renewal behavior.
One-time vs monthly access
The page supports both one-time and recurring purchase models.
| Pricing model | What the buyer should think of it as |
|---|---|
| one-time | A single paid access purchase |
| subscription | A recurring monthly relationship to that post offer |
The page shows the creator name and the effective post price so the buyer can understand what kind of access they hold.
Status, renewal, and cancellation state
The page surfaces several states directly:
| UI label or state | Plain-English meaning |
|---|---|
Status | The current buyer-side subscription state |
Next renewal | The next date the recurring subscription is expected to renew |
Cancels at period end | Renewal is already scheduled to stop after the current period |
Cancellation pending | The buyer already scheduled the non-renewal action |
The cancellation flow is explicit that access remains active until the end of the current billing period. That means cancellation is generally a stop-renewal action, not an immediate loss-of-access action.
View post vs manage renewal
The two main buyer actions are:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
View post | Open the purchased post again |
Cancel renewal | Schedule the recurring subscription to stop renewing |
The confirmation dialog explains the user-facing effect clearly: the buyer keeps access through the current period, then the app stops charging again unless they resubscribe later.
What buyers should expect
The practical buyer mental model is:
- use this page to review current paid post relationships,
- use
View postwhen you want to reopen the content or workspace, - use
Cancel renewalwhen you want access to end after the current billing period, - do not expect cancellation to immediately erase current access.
This page is the buyer-side subscription control surface, while the creator dashboard is the seller-side view of recurring revenue and subscriber health.
