Roku Pay
Answer
Roku Pay does not offer a way to automatically "migrate" a user from an existing subscription to a new and/or different subscription. The only way to move a subscriber from one in-channel product to another is to (1) cancel that user's existing subscription and (2) ask them re-subscribe to the new product. We don't recommend this solution because there is a risk the cancelled subscriber will never re-subscribe to the new product.
Instead, we recommend a solution where existing users stay subscribed to legacy products, but new users are offered new products. To make these changes, complete the following steps:
- Navigate to the Developer Dashboard > Manage In-Channel Products. Create a new in-channel product with the updating settings you'd like to offer to subscribers. This can include different pricing, free-trial period, offers, etc.
- Remove any unwanted products from your Roku Pay sign-up flow (in your channel's code) and replace them with the newly-created product(s). This ensure new subscribers will only see the option to subscribe to your new product(s).
- Keep your legacy products live under Manage In-Channel Products so that existing users continue to renew. If existing subscribers cancel and try to re-subscribe later, they will only see the latest, live subscription options.
