How It Works
1
Customer requests cancellation
Through a call center agent in Customer Service, or on a members page you build with the Customer Care API (see Members Area Subscription Management). There is no ready-made cancel screen for buyers: they see save offers only on a page you build.
2
Exit survey
The customer is asked why they want to cancel, choosing from your configured reasons.
3
Save offer
Based on the reason, the system presents a targeted offer — a discount, a pause, or a downgrade.
4
Accept or decline
If accepted, the offer is applied automatically. If declined, the cancellation proceeds.
Configuring Retention Offers
Retention offers are configured per merchant:- Go to Settings → Merchants and edit your merchant
- Open the Retention tab
- Toggle Enable Retention Offers on
- Add your Exit Survey Reasons (the list of cancellation reasons customers can choose from)
- For each reason, configure a Save Offer
Exit Survey Reasons
Common examples:- Too expensive
- Not using it enough
- Found a better alternative
- Product quality issues
- Technical problems
Offer Types
Discount
Applies a percentage discount for a set number of billing cycles. After the discount period, full pricing resumes. The discount comes off the price before tax, and tax is added on the discounted price.
Pause
Pauses billing for a set number of days. The customer isn’t charged during the pause, and billing resumes automatically.
Downgrade
Switches the subscription to a lower-tier product.
Offer Settings
For each exit survey reason, you can configure:Example Configuration
For the reason “Too expensive”:- Type: Discount
- Value: 20%
- Label: “Stay and get 20% off your next 3 months”
- Duration: 3 cycles
- Type: Pause
- Value: 30 days
- Label: “Take a 30-day break instead of canceling”
Agent-Assisted Retention
The same retention offers are available to call center agents in the Customer Service interface. Agents see the same offers and can apply them on the customer’s behalf during a call.See Customer Service for how agents use retention offers during calls.
