No recurring billing unless rolling refill enabled.
Rolling Pack Refill
Auto-purchase occurs when last pass is booked.
Booking, not attendance, triggers refill.
Pass Expiration

📣 Quick Callout: Rolling Packs
-
Rolling pack refill triggers based on booking the last regular pass, not whether rollover passes exist.
-
If rollovers are enabled: unused sessions can carry into the next period when the new pack refreshes.
-
If rollovers are not enabled: unused passes simply expire according to the expiration rule and if all passes are not used before pass expiry plan completes (ends).
-
The client is charged immediately when they book their final pass — even if rollover sessions are still available later or if the last booking is canceled.
