Automatic dates for recurring subscription orders

Updated 23 July 2026

Subscription renewals are created by your subscription app, not by a shopper with a calendar in front of them — so Flare can assign the dates automatically.

Available on the Advanced plan and above.

Set it up

1. Open Date availability and switch to the Recurring orders tab.
2. Turn on automatic dates for recurring orders.
3. Optionally give renewals their own availability — available weekdays and blocked dates that apply only to subscription renewals (e.g. you deliver subscriptions only on Wednesdays even though one-off orders go out daily).
4. Click Save.

How it behaves

• When a renewal order lands, Flare calculates the next valid delivery and ship date using your rules — renewal-specific ones if configured, otherwise your normal calendar — and writes the same tags and attributes as any other order.
• The order then flows through hold & release, the shipping calendar, and your integrations exactly like a scheduled one-off order.

Keeping billing aligned

Assigning dates to renewals is half the story; keeping the billing cycle aligned to delivery is the other half. If you're on Recharge or Skio, connect the integration so the next charge date follows the delivery schedule:
