Must know
  • Monthly and yearly passes auto-renew and re-charge the family’s stored card each cycle.
  • A pre-charge reminder is sent about 3 days before the renewal charge.
  • $0 passes renew without touching the payment processor but still record a paid invoice and reset credits.
  • Available on plans that include Passes — if you don’t see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
Passes with a Per Month or Per Year billing period renew automatically at the end of each cycle. One-time passes don’t renew — they simply stay active with no fixed end date until an admin archives or cancels them. At each renewal, Uplifter re-charges the payment method the family saved when they bought the pass, extends the pass’s validity window into the new cycle, and — for credit passes — resets the credit allocation to full for the new cycle. The renewal bills the amount locked in when the family bought (or last renewed) the pass; editing the pass’s price later doesn’t change what current subscribers pay until their pass lapses and is re-bought. (Separately, a program’s pass-holder price is what re-checks each cycle, and only for program enrollments.) About three days before the charge, the family gets a pre-charge reminder so there are no surprises and they have time to update a card if needed. Free passes renew too. A $0 pass doesn’t run a charge through the payment processor, but it still records a paid invoice for the new cycle and resets credits — so a free recurring pass keeps working from cycle to cycle just like a paid one. If a renewal charge fails, the family is notified to update their payment method; the pass stays in place while the charge is retried.
