A customer's membership is showing as cancelled

Learn why a customer's membership may have been cancelled, whether it can be reinstated, and what steps to take for continuous and fixed-length memberships.

If a customer's membership is showing as cancelled, the reason will depend on the type of membership they have.

For continuous memberships, the most common reason is that a renewal payment couldn't be collected. This may be because:

  • There were insufficient funds available

  • The customer's payment card has expired

  • Their payment method is no longer valid

For fixed-length memberships, the most likely reason is that the membership has been manually cancelled by someone on your team, often at the customer's request. The same may also apply to continuous memberships.

Once a membership has been cancelled, it can't be restarted, so the customer will need to purchase a new membership. If a membership payment doesn't go through, we'll email the member to let them know. Until the final payment attempt, they can update their card and pay from their eola account under Manage billing. If it's still unpaid after that, the membership is cancelled.

Helpful tips:

  • Before asking a customer to purchase a new membership, check with your team to ensure the membership wasn't cancelled manually at the customer's request

  • Encourage members to keep their payment details up to date to reduce the risk of missed renewal payments

  • If a membership has been wrongly cancelled manually, and the customer is due a refund, please reach out to the team at help@eola.co and we'll be happy to help you
