Pause and Resume Subscriptions in GoHighLevel

Our versatile ‘Pause and Resume Subscription’ feature empowers customers to temporarily put their subscription on hold without the need for cancellation. This way, they can retain their account history and preferences, allowing them to seamlessly pick up right where they left off whenever they choose to resume. Designed with flexibility in mind, this feature adapts to customers’ evolving needs for a hassle-free experience.

Below are the steps you can follow :

Go to Payments > Subscriptions.

From the list of subscriptions, hover over the one you wish to pause/resume. Click the Three dots menu.

Below are two methods that allow you to set your pause/resume preferences.


1. Indefinite : with this method you can keep the subscription paused without any time limit. You can manually resume any time you wish.

2. Custom Date : This method gives you the ability to choose the custom date so you don’t have to manually pause/resume the subscription. This is useful when you are certain about the duration for which the subscription will be on a pause mode. Even if you decide to resume before the date, you can always do it manually. Selecting specific date doesn’t restrict you from resuming at any time.

Invoice Behaviour
While pausing subscriptions on every payment due date an invoice would be generated, customers would get an option to get these invoices in draft or void state.

Mark as void – This option allows you to stop generating invoices for the specific time period.

Draft option – Draft option is useful when you want to keep the invoices in a draft mode from where they can be later sent to the customer.

If you ever choose to reactivate a ‘Paused’ subscription, simply navigate to the three dots menu and select the ‘Resume’ button. A confirmation popup will appear, allowing you to verify your choice. Once confirmed, the subscription will transition from ‘Paused’ back to ‘Active’ mode.
