Recurring Billing
PayBru uses recurring billing via Paystack so members do not need to pay manually every month.
How Recurring Payments Work
When you subscribe, Paystack stores the payment method and charges it again on each billing date.
The flow is:
- You subscribe and make your first payment via Paystack.
- PayBru schedules the next charge.
- On each billing date, the payment runs automatically.
- You receive a receipt for each successful payment.
Pending transactions expire after 30 minutes.
Billing Cycles
Most memberships follow a monthly billing cycle. Your billing date stays aligned to the day you first subscribed.
| Subscription date | Next billing date |
|---|---|
| 5 March | 5 April |
| 15 January | 15 February |
| 31 January | 28 February (end of month) |
If your subscription date falls on the 29th, 30th, or 31st, shorter months use the last day of the month.
Automatic Renewals
The renewal check runs every hour. When your membership is due:
- PayBru charges your saved payment method.
- If the charge succeeds, your membership continues.
Free tier memberships renew without payment.
When you cancel:
- Your membership status changes to Canceled.
- Your membership remains active until the end of the current billing period.
- You will not be charged again after cancellation.
- Once the paid period expires, your status changes to Ended and you lose access to gated content.
