Upcoming Improvement to Future Skip Behavior
Starting on September 24th, 2025, we’ll begin rolling out improvements that ensure when a customer skips a future order, the skip is reliably honored. With these changes, customers’ future skips will remain in place even after most subscription updates (like product swaps), helping reduce confusion, prevent accidental charges, and minimize churn.
What’s changing?
- Historically, if a customer skipped a future order and their subscription was later updated (e.g., a product swap), the future skip would be removed.
- With this update, future skipped orders will now be retained when changes are made to a subscription, with the exception of updates to the subscription’s charge date, order frequency, or address assignment.
- When the next charge date or order frequency is changed, or when a subscription is moved to a different address, the future skips will be removed, as the desired skip behavior can vary by use case. When this happens, we will:
- Emit a new subscription/skip_invalidated webhook so you can take action if needed (e.g., re-skipping). (API documentation coming soon)
- Add a skip invalidated event to the customer timeline, including the original skip date.
