Rescue cancelling subscribers with a temporary pause that keeps their data and settings intact until they are ready to return.

What it adds

The builder uses your cancellation reasons and account architecture to insert a pause option into the cancellation flow, with defined durations, a preserved-state guarantee, and an automatic resume. It converts by recognising that most cancellations are timing problems rather than product rejections, so offering a pause captures revenue that a discount would only delay. The goal is converting a measurable share of cancellations into pauses that resume.

What your builder is told to do

The actual instructions, in order.

1
Read the cancellation-reason source files and separate reasons a pause genuinely addresses, such as seasonality, budget cycles, or project gaps, from reasons it does not, such as missing capability or a poor experience.
2
Place the pause option inside the cancellation flow only after the subscriber states a reason, and present it exclusively for reasons where pausing is an honest fit, routing every other reason to a relevant response.
3
Define the pause durations from the seasonality patterns in the source files, offering a small number of fixed options rather than an open-ended hold, and state the exact resume date for each option before the subscriber chooses.
4
Specify precisely what is preserved during the pause, covering data, settings, integrations, seat assignments, and any locked rate, since certainty about return state is the entire reason a subscriber accepts a pause over cancelling.
5
Set the billing behavior explicitly, stating whether the subscription is fully unbilled or held at a reduced maintenance amount, and if reduced, justify it by the real cost of preserving the account.
6
Build the resume experience as a scheduled event with advance notice, a confirmation of the returning rate, and a one-action option to extend or cancel instead, because an unexpected charge at resume converts a saved subscriber into a dispute.
7
Specify responsive behavior: on mobile, present pause as a full-screen step with duration choices as large stacked buttons and the resume date shown on each; on tablet, show duration options in a row with the preserved-state list beside them; on desktop, display duration options, preserved-state detail, and the resume calendar in a single confirmation view.

Edge cases it handles

The things an agent skips when you only say "build a subscription pause offer".

Repeated consecutive pauses need a limit so the pause does not become a permanent free tier.
Paused accounts consuming resources such as stored data require a stated retention boundary.
A subscriber wanting to return early must be able to resume immediately with a clear billing consequence.
Team accounts pausing need a defined outcome for member access during the pause.
If the billing system cannot represent a paused state, the flow must not promise one, and the limitation must be reported.

Definition of done

Your builder is required to check every one of these before reporting the work finished.

Pause is offered only after a stated cancellation reason and only for reasons it genuinely addresses.
Fixed duration options are shown with the exact resume date on each.
Preserved data, settings, seats, and any locked rate are itemized explicitly.
Billing behavior during the pause is stated, and any maintenance amount is justified.
Resume includes advance notice, the returning rate, and one-action extend or cancel.
Mobile, tablet, and desktop presentations of the pause step each match the specification.
The builder reports which source files supplied cancellation reasons and retention rules, and lists any billing capability it could not confirm.

2

Give it to your builder

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever AI builder is already working in your app.

It maps, then builds

Your agent reads the blueprint first, then builds the offer into your app around the product, audience, and stack.

Works with your stack

These blueprints are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and use your source files instead of guessing the offer.

Need it tighter than that? Customize the offer file and tell it exactly which source docs and stack to use.
