About Subscriptions

Subscriptions only shows data for tagged subscriptions

About revenue

As stated above revenue is the sum of orders and payments processed by Payway, this includes all initial purchases made and only the recurring payments provisioned by Payway. Payments managed by subscription-systems and third-party providers are not included.

About cancellations

On 2020-09-21 we will change the behaviour of cancellations in Payway. The change is made to treat cancellations on subscriptions provisioned by either Payway, subscription system or a 3:rd party provider in the same way.

A subscription will be treated as cancelled on the date the subscription no longer gives access to the product, which is the date the subscription is deactivated.

The existing data will be updated to use the new cancellation statistics from 2020-09-01 and will be updated during 2020-09-21.

Before 2020-09-21: Payway provisioned subscriptions were considered cancelled on the same day the user chose to cancel the subscription even though the subscription could be active until the subscription period ends.

About churn

Churn is calculated using this formula:

(number of cancellations in period) / (number of active subscriptions at start of period)

The basis for the churn calculations are derived from this article.
