🔄 Handle the Whole Billing Lifecycle

Turn the app you built for yourself into something other people pay to use. These prompts add the parts that make a tool into a product: customer sign-in, plans and trials, limits that mean something, a billing lifecycle that handles the awkward cases, and an admin view so you can see who is actually using it. The unglamorous half nobody enjoys assembling.

Handle the Whole Billing Lifecycle

Copy

I lose subscribers to failed cards and never notice. Build me a subscription lifecycle app. Every subscription holds the account, the plan, the amount, the billing period, the next renewal date and a status of Trialling, Active, Past Due, Paused, Cancelled or Churned, with the full history of state changes. When a payment fails, move it to Past Due and run a dunning sequence of several reminders over a period I set, escalating in tone, before suspending access. Offer a pause option as an alternative to cancelling. When someone does cancel, capture a reason from a short list plus a comment at that moment, and keep their data for a retention period I set rather than deleting it. Do not store card details anywhere in the app; it works alongside my payment provider. Add an AI agent that drafts the right message for each situation, from a friendly first dunning notice to a win-back after a cancellation, in my tone. Automate the dunning sequence, a renewal reminder before each charge, and a scheduled daily job that moves subscriptions into the correct state. Two logins: a customer who manages their own subscription, and an owner who sees the whole book.

Handle the Whole Billing Lifecycle

Model every subscription state with renewals, dunning on failed payments, pause options, and cancellation reason capture.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

Most revenue leaks out of a small product through failed cards nobody chased. This handles every state a subscription can be in, including the awkward ones.

What's Included

  • Every subscription state modeled including past due and paused.
  • A dunning sequence because most failed payments are recoverable.
  • Cancellation with a reason captured while the customer is still there.
  • An assistant that drafts each message for the situation.

How To Use

  1. Chase failed payments properly. Most of them are a card that expired.
  2. Offer a pause before a cancellation. A pause often becomes a return.
  3. Capture the cancellation reason at the moment, not in a survey later.
  4. Never store card details in your app. Let the payment provider hold them.

Define the tiers in plan and trial management, and watch the effect in revenue metrics.
