What happens when a user downgrades a Past Due account?

Stripe doesn’t allow downgrades on past due subscriptions, so when this happens, from a technical standpoint we have to cancel their existing subscription and put them on a new subscription at the new lower plan.

When this happens, the user is automatically sent a cancellation email even though their account is not really being canceled. To account for that, ClickMagick immediately sends out a follow-up email to explain to the user what is happening, and to ignore the cancellation email.
 
 
Note: Here’s the email they get …

Subject: READ THIS FIRST

Hi there,

I just wanted to send you a quick note about the
subscription change you just made …

Your previous subscription was “past due”, and our
billing system doesn’t allow subscription changes when
that’s the case – so we had to cancel your past due
subscription and set you up with a new one.

… and because of that, you may receive (if you
haven’t already) an automated email from our billing
system about your account being canceled.

DON’T PANIC – you can safely ignore that email.

If you have any questions, feedback, or believe you
have received this email in error, just hit reply!

Your in success,
