Grace Period Mechanics & Expiry Warnings
Learn how the grace period protects your business operations when a renewal date passes, giving you time to renew without downtime.
Why BusinessPlus Provides a Grace Period
To protect businesses against accidental operational downtime caused by delayed mobile payments or card expirations, BusinessPlus grants an automated 3-to-7 day grace period following subscription expiration.
How the Grace Period Operates
During the active grace period:
- 1. Full Uninterrupted Access: Your storefront remains online, customers can place orders and make bookings, and AI automations continue running without disruption.
- 2. Dashboard Warning Banners: An amber banner appears in the dashboard header showing the exact number of days remaining (`grace_days_remaining`).
- 3. Multi-Channel Renewal Alerts: Automated reminder alerts are dispatched to the organization owner via email and WhatsApp.
Avoiding Suspension
Renewing before the grace countdown reaches zero immediately clears all warning notices and extends your active subscription without any downtime.
