Product Settings Doubts

Which two fields are you referring to?

Please share:

• Field names (or a screenshot / API payload snippet)
• Where you saw them (Dashboard, API request, webhook, etc.)

I’ll explain the difference once I have that.

I can’t see the screenshot here.

Please re‑upload the image or type the exact two field names you’re asking about (and where they appear: Dashboard / API / webhook).
I’ll explain the difference right away once I have that.

@strong ice

Fields name is:
Repeat payment every*
Subscription Period*

[strong ice]

Here’s the difference in simple terms:

• Repeat payment every

  • Controls billing frequency
  • Example: every 1 month → customer is charged monthly

• Subscription Period

  • Controls total subscription duration
  • Example: 12 months → subscription auto‑ends after 12 months

Example

• Repeat payment every: 1 month
• Subscription period: 12 months
  → Customer is charged monthly for 12 months, then the subscription expires.

Repeat payment is the frequency when the payment will be charged for the subscription while payment period is when the subscription will automatically expire (i.e. stop renewing)

Please do not ping us like that. It will lead to a ban.

Oh Alright so whom to ask this, can I not even ping dodo bot ?

[tall acorn]

You can ping Dodo Bot but please don't ping us (employees) like that

[autumn dune]

Ok, I pinged you guys first time, you can check it. You have mentioned (DODO) in your name so I thought you are support members or mods.
Any way let me know if I am getting ban, will move on to different payment gateway.
