How do Monthly Payments work?

Monthly Payment Process:

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how the monthly payments work to ensure a smooth subscription experience:

  1. Order Complete Email:

    • Users subscribe before the 1st of the month.
    • An “Order Complete” email is sent as confirmation with a £0 payment, acknowledging the subscription.
  2. Sync Date – 1st of the Month:

    • On the 1st of the month, payments will be processed.
    • The regular monthly charge will be taken to continue the subscription.
  3. Overdue and Suspension Phases for Bounced Payments:

    • For payments that bounce, the subscription enters an “overdue” phase for two days.
    • Users are notified to update their payment details or add funds through their account settings page.
      • When updating card details please delete the incorrect details from your Payment Methods section in your account settings.
    • The system attempts to take payments twice a day for these two days.
    • If the overdue phase fails, the subscription is moved to “suspended” mode for an additional two days.
    • The system continues attempts during the suspended phase to process the payment.
  4. Cancellation and Resubscription:

    • If all stages fail, the subscription is cancelled.
    • Users will need to resubscribe to continue their membership.
    • Please note that any applied coupons are forfeited during this process.

Important Tips:

  • Ensure that payment details are accurate to avoid any disruptions.
  • Make sure sufficient funds are available in your account on the 1st of each month to prevent cancellation.

We strive to provide a convenient and reliable subscription service. Keep your payment details up to date to enjoy uninterrupted access to your digital and physical editions. If you encounter any issues, please promptly update your information to avoid any disruptions in your subscription. Happy reading!

I subscribed before the 1st and it says my order is complete, what does this mean?

Clarification for Subscription Complete Email:

We understand that sometimes confusion may arise, especially when you’ve ordered before the 1st of the month and received an “Order Complete” email with a £0 payment. Here’s a quick explanation:

  1. Order Complete Confirmation:

    • If you subscribed before the 1st of the month, you will receive an “Order Complete” email as a confirmation. This email acknowledges your subscription and the upcoming processing of your regular monthly charge.
  2. Sync Date – 1st of the Month:

    • On the 1st of the month, the actual payments will be processed.
    • The regular monthly charge will be taken to continue your subscription.
  3. Delivery Timeframe:

    • For digital editions, expect your emailed subscription within 5 days after the start of the month.
    • For physical editions, shipments are dispatched from the UK on the 5th of each month.
  4. Subscription Status:

    • Important Note: The “Order Complete” email is a confirmation of your subscription order but does not guarantee the delivery of the month’s subscription if payment is not processed successfully on the 1st.

    • If you’ve received the “Order Complete” email, your subscription is active, and the processing is underway.

    • For digital editions, the email with your digital copy will be sent as per the delivery timeframe.

    • For physical editions, your shipment will be dispatched on the 5th of the month.

  5. Payment Verification:

    • Ensure that your payment details are accurate and funds are available in your account on the 1st of each month to avoid any delays or disruptions.

Important Reminder:

  • If payment is not successfully processed on the 1st of the month, you will not receive the subscription for that month.
  • The “Order Complete” email serves as a confirmation of your subscription order and not the receipt of the month’s subscription.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and patience. If, after the stipulated timeframes, you still haven’t received your subscription, or if you have any concerns, please check your account settings for payment status and details. If issues persist, feel free to reach out to our customer support for further assistance. We’re here to make sure you enjoy a seamless and delightful subscription experience. Happy reading!
