- What Is the Subscriptions Report?
The Subscriptions Report is the central control panel for recurring revenue.
It shows everything that repeats automatically:
-
Monthly charges
-
Ongoing customer commitments
-
Subscription-based products
-
Paid vs unpaid cycles
In simple terms:
If a customer pays again and again — it lives here.

Recurring revenue is not.
Subscriptions require:

Continuous monitoring

Monthly validation

Payment confirmation
-
Customer accountability
The Subscriptions Report exists to prevent revenue leakage and ensure predictable income.
- Where Subscriptions Fit in the Business Flow

- Subscription Payment Logic (How It Really Works)
Subscriptions are evaluated monthly.
For each subscription:

The system checks the current billing cycle

Looks for a payment entry
-
Marks status accordingly
This ensures:
✔ Accurate month-by-month tracking
✔ No double billing
✔ No missed payments

The Subscriptions Report includes focused filters so teams can isolate problems fast.
You can filter by:
-
Product
-
Customer
-
Team member
-
Payment status (Paid / Unpaid)
-
Search by product name
This turns the report into a monthly control tool, not just a list.
