Set renewal reminder timing
Fewer surprise-charge disputes — give members a heads-up a set number of days before each renewal.
- Days-before reminder
- Cuts disputes

A renewal reminder before the charge reduces disputes and involuntary churn — members aren’t surprised. ArraySubs sends a Renewal Reminder email a configurable number of days before the next payment. This recipe sets the reminder timing.
- Members get a heads-up before each renewal.
- Set the lead time from 1 to 30 days.
- Fewer surprise-charge disputes and chargebacks.
- Reschedules automatically if the renewal date shifts.
