Did you know that most consumers underestimate monthly subscription costs by at least $100? In fact, today there are many apps and services emerging that help customers identify and cancel monthly subscriptions. Additionally, lawsuits have emerged against companies in recent years for making it difficult for customers to cancel automatic recurring orders.
So, what’s the solution? In my opinion, subscription merchants should always make it easy for customers to opt out when they’re ready. People cancel subscriptions for many reasons, and you don’t want to leave a bad taste in someone’s mouth (especially because they may wish to opt back in at some point). Therefore, merchants should choose subscription management software that makes opting out just as easy as opting in.
