Subscription renewal

What is meant by Subscription renewal?

Subscription renewal refers to the process whereby a subscription is automatically extended for another specified period or indefinitely after the current subscription period has expired. This typically occurs automatically unless the customer actively opts out or cancels the subscription before the current term expires. Automatic renewal enables a seamless continuation of the subscription service for the customer and a continuous revenue stream for the provider.
