This process creates a seamless setup, allowing you to handle everything from product selection to payment in one go.
2. Scheduling Subscriptions with Custom Billing Dates
For businesses needing flexibility, Gold Star Pro now allows scheduling subscriptions to begin on a future date. Here’s how to set this up:
Select the Billing Date:
When creating a subscription (either from Payments > Subscriptions > Add Subscription or from the Contact’s Detail Page), you can set a custom billing start date. Just choose the date that aligns with your customer’s billing cycle preferences.Confirm the Payment Schedule:
After choosing the start date, the system will automatically begin billing and collection on the specified day, allowing for timely and organized payments.
This feature is ideal for setting up new clients who prefer specific billing start dates or for launching subscription packages tied to future promotions or launches.
3. Quick Invoicing from the Contact Details Page
Sending invoices is easier than ever. Gold Star Pro enables invoice creation directly from the customer’s profile, with all essential details pre-filled:

Upcoming Enhancements: Pause and Resume Subscriptions
In the near future, Gold Star Pro plans to introduce a “Pause/Resume” feature for subscriptions. This will allow businesses to:
