Cut-off Day

The Cut-off Day feature in Joy Subscriptions prevents customers from being charged too closely together, ensuring a smoother subscription experience.

What is Cut-off days

Cut-off days is the number of days that set a minimum amount of time that must pass between your customer's first and second cycle.

Understanding the rule

If the second scheduled cycle falls within the number of cutoff days you've specified since the first cycle (the day that your customer finishes checking out), the second cycle is not skipped (instead of being skipped for not meeting the chosen frequency).

Example:

• Renewal Day: The 1st of every month.

• Cut-off Day: 15 days.

• Frequency: Once per month

Without Cut-off Day	With Cut-off Day
A customer subscribes on October 10th and gets charged immediately. Their next charge occurs on December 1st Because the first default cycle (November 1st) does not meet the frequency of 1 month.	A customer subscribes on October 10th and gets charged immediately. Their next charge occurs on November 1st. Because even though it does not meet the frequency of 1 month, it falls within the cut-off days (15 days from the 1st)
