What does "Subscription status" mean?
The Status column shows where each customer's subscription stands on a subscription offer:
- Active — the recurring charge is up to date.
- Cancelled — the subscription has ended and there will be no further charges.
- Pending / failed — the last charge did not go through (for example, a declined card) and is waiting to be settled.
Watching this status helps you anticipate cancellations (churn) and act before you lose the customer.

- A subscription stuck on pending: this is usually a declined charge — the customer needs to update their payment method. See subscription offer.
- The status did not update after an external event: check the integration in incoming webhook.
