# Subscription changes and *cancellation saves* with an AI agent

Skip, pause, change frequency, swap, discount, cancel. The AI does it inside Recharge, Loop or Skio, and runs your save offer before any cancel.

## Can Richpanel's AI agent manage subscriptions?

#### The short answer

Yes. Richpanel's AI agent changes Recharge, Loop and Skio subscriptions directly. It can reschedule or skip the next order, pause, change frequency or quantity, apply a discount, and cancel. Before it cancels, it asks why and makes the save offer your policy sets. The table below shows which action each app supports.

## How the *save offer* runs before a cancel

The cancel is the last step, not the first. The AI runs your save flow in this order:

1. **Ask why.** Too much product, too expensive, not working yet, or moving.
2. **Answer the reason.** Too much product gets a skip or a slower frequency. Not working yet gets your product's real timeline.
3. **Make your offer.** A pause, a swap, or a discount at the amount your team set.
4. **Cancel if they still want to.** In the subscription app, with the reason recorded.

AI Manager writes the questions and the answers from your reviews and product pages. Your team sets the discount amounts.

## What the AI checks *before it changes a subscription*

- **The customer.** Identity is confirmed first when your store requires it.
- **The right system.** Subscription changes run in the subscription app. A Shopify order cancel is never used to stop a subscription.
- **A valid cadence.** On Loop and Skio, the AI reads the frequencies the product actually offers before it changes one.
- **The right line.** On Recharge, a skip targets one subscription on a shared charge, not the whole shipment.
- **The date that stuck.** On Loop, the AI quotes the date Loop saved, not the date it asked for.

## Who approves a *subscription change*

Subscription actions switch on per connected app. Each one carries its own permission: Always allow, or Require approval.

An action with no permission set waits for approval by default. Many teams let skips and date moves run while cancels and refunds wait.

## When the AI *hands it to your team*

Requests your policy does not cover go to your team. So do disputes on shipped orders and anything the app rejects.

A hand-off takes three steps. The AI saves an internal note with the reason. It sends the customer one reply on what happens next. The conversation stays open for your team.

If your playbook names a hand-off mode, the AI switches the conversation to Manual or Co-Pilot. No further AI reply then goes out on its own.

## AI subscription management: common questions.

### Which AI support tools can skip, pause and cancel Recharge subscriptions?

Richpanel's AI agent acts in Recharge directly. It can skip or unskip a charge, move the next charge date, and change frequency or quantity. It can also swap the variant, apply a discount, cancel, reactivate and refund a charge. Recharge has no pause action, so the AI moves the next charge date instead.

### Does Richpanel's AI work with Loop Subscriptions and Skio?

Yes. On Loop it can pause, resume, move the next date, and change frequency or quantity. It can also apply a discount, ship now, cancel and reactivate. On Skio it can also skip the next order. Loop has no skip action, so the AI moves the next date.

### Does the AI try to save a subscription before cancelling it?

Yes, when your policy sets a save flow. It asks why, answers the reason, and offers a skip, pause, swap or discount at the amount your team set. It cancels only if the customer still wants to.

### Can I require approval before the AI cancels a subscription?

Yes. Each subscription action has its own permission. Cancels can wait for one-click approval while skips and date changes run on their own.
