Subscriptions have always been a easy way to give to Flattr users on a monthly basis. Just click subscribe on a thing and each month we will automatically flattr the thing. Subscriptions is popular feature on Flattr because it removes the need to go back and flattr your favourite things every month. Now we have decided to change the subscriptions to make them even easier to use.

There used to be a expiration date on subscriptions, that is now removed. Instead you can stop a subscription whenever you like. Let them go on forever or just a couple of months, you decide.

Subscriptions in Dashboard

During the transition all subscriptions with expiration date will have an expire date as before. We will not alter them. But all new subscriptions you add will be without expiration date. You can easily change, remove or update your subscriptions on your dashboard. There you can also upgrade your current subscriptions and let them run as long as you like.

We have also changed the monthly mail that is sent to remind you if any of your subscriptions have ended. Now we will send you a e-mail every month (if you like) with your current subscriptions so you don’t forget what you are subscribed to. You can easily change your notification settings on your settings page.

The new subscriptions are here NOW, we hope you will enjoy them.
