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 modelWhat the buyer should think of it as
one-timeA single paid access purchase
subscriptionA 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 statePlain-English meaning
StatusThe current buyer-side subscription state
Next renewalThe next date the recurring subscription is expected to renew
Cancels at period endRenewal is already scheduled to stop after the current period
Cancellation pendingThe 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:

ActionWhat it does
View postOpen the purchased post again
Cancel renewalSchedule 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 post when you want to reopen the content or workspace,
  • use Cancel renewal when 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.
