In short

How do I remind subscription members before a renewal charge automatically?

WebRun gives club members fair warning before renewal. Each morning it finds cheese-of-the-month subscriptions charging soon in Stripe, confirms the active tier and this month's selection in ShelfPerks, and drafts a friendly heads-up in Gmail. The email stays unsent for you to review, and WebRun never triggers the charge itself.

  • Members get a heads-up before every charge, cutting surprise chargebacks
  • Reminders name the real amount and this month's selection
  • Paused or canceled members are skipped from live Stripe status

Built for cheese shop owners · subscription box operators · specialty food clubs · gourmet retailers

Questions, answered

Will it charge the member or send the email on its own?

No to both. WebRun never triggers a Stripe charge and never sends the reminder. It only reads the upcoming renewal and drafts an email in Gmail, which you review and send, so nothing bills or mails without your approval.

How far ahead does it warn members?

Three days before the renewal by default, which gives members time to pause or update their card. The lead time is adjustable in your run settings to match your club's billing rhythm.

What if a member already paused or canceled?

It reads the live subscription status in Stripe and the membership record in ShelfPerks each morning, so anyone paused, canceled, or on an address hold is skipped and no reminder is drafted for them.
