Retention

Save offers in the cancel flow

The five kinds of offer a subscriber can be shown instead of canceling, and which ones you have to fulfill yourself.

A save offer is what a subscriber is shown when they try to cancel: a reason to stay, presented before the cancellation goes through.

Where to find it

Set them up under Retention AI → Save offers (shown in the cancel flow).

How to set it up

  1. Turn on the cancel flow

    Under Settings → Customer portal, switch on Show save offers before a subscriber cancels.
  2. Add an offer

    On Retention AI, enter a name, pick the type and value, and click Add save offer. New offers you add yourself start active.
  3. Review drafts

    Offers drafted by Suggest one with AI land as drafts. Read them and click Turn on for the ones you want.

Save offers only appear if Show save offers before a subscriber cancels is on under Settings, and if at least one offer is active.

Options

The five types

TypeWhat the subscriber is offered
DiscountA percentage off their ongoing deliveries.
PausePause instead of canceling, and come back later.
SkipSkip the next delivery, for the "I still have some left" cancel.
SwapChange to a different product. The swap is not made automatically: the subscription is kept and you set up the change.
GiftA gift added to the next delivery. You fulfill it yourself. This is a save offer, not a gift subscription; gift subscriptions are not available yet.

Triggers

Every active save offer is shown to every subscriber who starts to cancel. There is no setting yet to reserve an offer for high-risk subscribers only.

Active and draft

Every save offer is either active or draft, and you can toggle it either way. Only active offers appear in the cancel flow. Draft is where you park an offer you are still deciding about, and where AI-suggested offers land.

Example

The Saves list

When a subscriber accepts an offer instead of canceling, it is recorded as a save, with the offer type, the date and the value retained. The list totals how many you have kept and roughly how much recurring revenue that is.
