Reminding subscribers of pending renewals

Reminding a customer that their card on file is expiring soon ensure they have the opportunity to update they payment method and avoid failed payment attempts.

With Boathouse you can activate card expiration reminders and specify which Postmark template to use. We'll take care of sending out an email a month in advance of the card expiring with a link back to your product to take action if necessary.
