On-Demand Renewals

WHMCS 8.8 introduces on-demand renewals, making it easy for your customers to renew eligible services before WHMCS generates their next invoice. It requires no manual intervention from you, helping you reduce customer support needs while retaining existing customers and avoiding missed due dates.

You can set up on-demand renewals globally, for all products on your WHMCS installation, and configure them further on a per-product basis. You can also set a maximum renewal period length for each billing cycle.

Get started configuring the global settings for on-demand renewals in the Ordering tab at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings.

The Stripe payment gateway module now supports Link for all Stripe transactions. Link lets customers complete secure, one-click transactions using saved payment information.

If you already use the Stripe payment gateway, your customers will be able to start using Link immediately, with no additional action from you.

For more information, see Stripe.
