Reactivation in Zoho Billing is the process of reinstating a subscription that was previously cancelled or paused. It restores the customer’s access to the product and resumes the billing cycle. Reactivation is a key metric for subscription businesses as it represents customers who initially churned but chose to return, contributing positively to net revenue retention.<\/p>\n
When a cancelled subscription is reactivated in Zoho Billing, a new billing cycle typically begins from the reactivation date. The original plan and any custom pricing or coupons may be preserved or reset depending on your configuration. Zoho Billing generates a new invoice for the first period post-reactivation and the subscription status changes back to active.<\/p>\n
Resuming a paused subscription is simpler than reactivating a cancelled one since the subscription was never terminated. The subscription status changes from “Paused” to “Active” and billing resumes from the reactivation date. Depending on your pause settings, the customer’s billing anniversary date may shift to account for the paused period, or billing may resume from the original date with the paused period treated as a gap.<\/p>\n
This depends on your Zoho Billing customer portal configuration. You can enable or disable self-service reactivation for customers. Enabling it allows returning customers to reactivate without contacting your team, reducing friction for win-back scenarios. Disabling it ensures your team can review and potentially offer win-back incentives before reactivating the subscription.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Zoho Billing does not enforce a hard time limit on reactivating cancelled subscriptions by default, though you can configure policies that treat very old cancellations differently. For practical purposes, subscriptions cancelled more than a year ago may be better treated as new subscriptions with fresh pricing and terms, but this is a business decision rather than a Zoho Billing technical constraint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
