Show Subscription Expiry Date and Add One-Click Renewal Button

[IniBudi]

I’d like to share some feedback regarding the Cloudron Account page.

It would be helpful if, in addition to the account information, Cloudron ID, and subscription status, the page also displayed the subscription expiration date.

Additionally, would it be possible to have a button that allows users to renew their subscription without needing to log in to console.cloudron.io?

Ideally, users could simply click a button from their Cloudron Account page that takes them directly to the purchase page, making it easier to renew a Cloudron subscription.

I’m not sure about the technical aspects, but I believe this could simplify the renewal process. Hopefully this suggestion is useful! Thank you.

The next version will show the renewal and expiration date in the cloudron dashboard directly then.

For the direct action to renew, this would be nice indeed, but this is hard as we have designed the Cloudron to be as decoupled as possible from cloudron.io. In this case we do not really want the Cloudron to stash login tokens for the cloudron.io user as such and we probably cannot rely on an active login session of the current browser used. But maybe we can come up with something smart here in the future.

I got this idea from how Sendy handles license updates, where users can get the latest updates simply by entering their license key.

So I was wondering if something similar could be possible for Cloudron.

For example, maybe we could just copy and paste our existing Cloudron ID into a URL, similar to the example above, proceed with the payment, and then the invoice and service would automatically activate.

Or perhaps there’s another faster and more efficient solution that doesn’t require logging in to console.cloudron.io. I’m not entirely sure. Hehe

Thank you!

Is there any particular reason why hitting cloudron.io is so inconvenient? Afterall this seems like a rather rare thing to do, but maybe I am missing some use-cases here?

Perhaps surface a clickable QR code in the notifications when it's close to renewal time?

[IniBudi]

@nebulon I just want to subscribe without log in first, it makes the process easier and shorter.

@robi yes it can be, clickable qr code or qr code for payment to renewal.
