UK: CMA begins enforcing DMCCA subscription rules Spring 2027 · US & EU renewal rules already in force · What does this mean for me?

Subscription chargeback evidence · Pre-renewal notices · UK/US/EU

Fight subscription-cancel chargebacks with timestamped proof you notified every subscriber.

Subnotice sends a pre-renewal notice before each billing date and timestamps every one — the reminder record Shopify asks for when a customer disputes a subscription charge. Export it as a signed evidence pack. Plus a 0–100 policy readiness score for UK, US & EU subscription rules. No billing stack to replace.

Common questions

Does Subnotice help with subscription chargebacks?

It can support your case. Subnotice sends pre-renewal emails on each billing date and logs every notice with the date and recipient. If a customer later disputes a charge, that log is documented evidence you notified them in advance — it doesn't guarantee dispute outcomes and isn't legal advice.

Does this work for US or EU stores?

Yes. Subnotice auto-detects your store's jurisdiction and scores against the right rules: UK (DMCCA 2024), US state-level Automatic Renewal Laws (e.g. California, New York, Connecticut), or the EU withdrawal-button requirement (Directive 2023/2673). US and EU rules are already in force today.

Does DMCCA apply to my Shopify subscription store?

If you sell consumer subscriptions to UK customers, yes. The DMCCA 2024 Chapter 2 subscription regime covers renewal notices, cancellation rights, and policy transparency. CMA enforcement begins Spring 2027.

Do I need to replace Recharge or Shopify Subscriptions?

No. Subnotice is a compliance audit layer — it works alongside your existing billing stack. Nothing to migrate, no billing disruption.

Does this guarantee I'm compliant?

No — and we're transparent about that. Subnotice is a readiness and preparation tool, not legal advice. It reduces your risk by identifying gaps and automating required notices. For legal certainty, consult a qualified adviser in your jurisdiction.

What subscriptions does it detect?

Native Shopify Subscriptions (1P), app-managed contracts, and Recharge / third-party signals via order history. Renewal date detection varies by platform. Full details on https://www.subnotice.com/faq/.
