A subscription’s status reflects its current state in the billing lifecycle, from creation to cancellation or completion. These statuses help track whether a subscription is active, pending activation, scheduled for the future, or affected by payment issues.
By understanding these statuses, stakeholders can effectively manage subscriptions, anticipate billing actions, and take necessary steps when required. Below is an overview of the different subscription statuses and their meanings.
