Decommission a subscription from the Billing app
You can now decommission a subscription directly from the Cancel Subscription flow in the Chargebee Billing interface. Previously, this was only possible through the API. Decommissioning keeps a cancelled subscription available for audit and history, but blocks every further action on it except deletion, including reactivation. You can also filter your subscription list to find subscriptions that have been decommissioned.
Why is this important?
Your team can now retire a subscription for good directly from the cancellation screen, without needing an engineer to call the API. You can also separate decommissioned subscriptions from the cancelled ones when you search, report, or clean up your subscription list, making it easier to find subscriptions you've permanently retired after cancellation while keeping their history for audit and reference. See Subscription Cancellation for how decommissioning works.
How can you use it?
To decommission a subscription:
- In your Chargebee Billing site, open the subscription and click Cancel Subscription.
- Choose when to cancel it.
- Turn on Decommission this subscription.
- Complete the cancellation.
To control whether this option shows up for your team, go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Billing LogIQ > Customers & Subscriptions > Subscription cancellation and use the Show decommissioned toggle (on by default).
