Auto-renewing a KooMessage Resource

Auto-renewal reduces the manual costs and prevents KooMessage from being unavailable if you forget to manually renew your resources.

  • The first auto-renewal date is when the KooMessage package expires.
  • The auto-renewal frequency is customized by you.
  • You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a KooMessage package expires. By default, the system will first attempt to charge your account for the renewal at 00:03:00 seven days before the expiration date. If this attempt fails, it will reattempt at 00:03:00 every day until the subscription is renewed or expires.
  • After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the KooMessage package manually. After manual renewal, auto-renewal will still occur and renewal charges will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiration date.
  • By default, renewal charges are deducted from your account seven days before the new expiration date. You can change this auto-renew payment date as required.

For more information about auto-renewal rules, see Auto-Renewal Rules.

Prerequisites

Your yearly/monthly subscription or package has not expired yet.

Enabling Yearly/monthly Auto-renewal on the Purchase Page

You can enable auto-renewal for your yearly/monthly subscription on the purchase page, as shown in Figure 1.

If you enable auto-renewal during purchase, the auto-renewal periods are as follows:

Monthly subscriptions are renewed for a month each time.

Yearly subscriptions are renewed for a year each time.

  4. Select a renewal period, specify how many times to auto-renew, and click OK.

    If auto-renewal is enabled on the Renewals page, the auto-renewal cycle is subject to the selected renewal period and auto-renewal times. For example, if you select three months as the renewal period and do not select Preset Auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
