Discourse Subscriptions - clarify "Cancel at end of cycle"

feature
2

It turns out that the user can do what I asked (I’ve changed “allow” to “clarify” in the title now)… so here are two new but related…

Feature requests: The default wording should make clear the two types of cancellation. The admin interface should have the same “Status” column as the user interface.

Here are some details…

It seems that “cancel” in Discourse Subscriptions means two different things depending on who is doing it! For the user it only cancels auto-renewal; for the admin it cancels the whole subscription immediately.

  1. If the user clicks the bin icon at u/.../billing/subscriptions the prompt is “Are you sure you want to cancel this subscription?”

    Choosing Yes triggers the customer.subscription.updated webhook.

    Two notable parts of the response are "cancel_at_period_end": true and "status": "active". The user’s subscription page still stays “Status: Active” but for “Renews” it now states “cancelled”. The user remains in the subscribed group.

    Annoyingly, the admin interface doesn’t now indicate that auto-renewal has been cancelled – it just has “Status: active”.

  2. If the admin clicks “cancel” at /admin/plugins/discourse-subscriptions/subscriptions the prompt again is “Are you sure you want to cancel this subscription?” (it also asks about whether to refund).

    Choosing Yes triggers the customer.subscription.deleted webhook.

    The response includes "status": "canceled". The subscription is deleted everywhere and the user is removed from the subscribed group.
