A quick explanation to clarify which readers will receive an automatic notification email before their renewal date.
Will readers subscribed to auto-renewing subscriptions receive an automatic email reminder before their renewal?
Readers on auto-renewing subscriptions without a trial period will not receive an email before their next renewal period. Pico will send them a transactional receipt email after the payment is made.
Readers on a trial plan will receive an email reminder before they start their subscription renewal one week before the trial ends.
The trial email will have the subject line of "Your Subscription starts soon" and a body like the following
Hi Reader,<br style="box-sizing:inherit;"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;">Your trial is almost over. Your subscription to <br style="box-sizing:inherit;">EXAMPLE PUBLICATION will automatically start on <br style="box-sizing:inherit;">September 25 for $3 per month.<br style="box-sizing:inherit;"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;">If you wish to cancel, you can review your <br style="box-sizing:inherit;">subscription details by clicking here<br style="box-sizing:inherit;">or by visiting EXAMPLE PUBLICATION DOMAIN and <br style="box-sizing:inherit;">clicking on our logo in the bottom-right corner of the window.
