What happens when Calendar billing is removed or disabled for the site?

Problem Statement

This article explains what happens to subscription billing terms when Calendar billing is disabled or removed for the site.

Solution

When Calendar billing is enabled

Subscriptions created on the site (or with plans that have Calendar billing) have their billing terms aligned according to the Calendar Billing configuration.

When Calendar billing is disabled

• Existing subscriptions keep their current billing term dates.
• New subscriptions created after disabling are aligned to the subscription sign-up date or activation date.

Changing billing date

To change the billing date for a subscription, use Edit next billing date on the subscription record. Behavior differs when Calendar billing is enabled. See Changing the billing date when calendar billing is enabled.
