Give clients a heads-up before charging them a subscription payment.
You can send your clients automated emails reminding them that their subscriptions will soon renew. For each subscription you offer, you can choose to send renewal reminders. However, unlike other Acuity notification, you can't customize the email content.
In some jurisdictions, businesses are legally required to send subscription renewal reminders to their clients. Acuity's subscription renewal reminder emails are disabled by default.
It’s your responsibility to follow any automatic renewal laws that apply to you. As outlined in our Terms of Service, Squarespace doesn't provide advice or recommendations on laws or regulatory requirements.
