What it means
A subscription charges on a recurring basis for ongoing access to a product or service.
Why it matters
It converts one-off sales into recurring revenue, which is worth substantially more per pound and makes planning possible.
What it looks like in practice
The economics turn on churn and on payment failure. Dunning — retrying failed cards and prompting for updates — recovers a large share of involuntary cancellations.\n\nThe DMCC Act introduced specific consumer subscription rules on pre-contract information, reminders and easy exit.
What to watch out for
Making cancellation hard. It is now an enforcement risk as well as a reputational one, and it does not improve retention — it delays it and produces chargebacks.
