Timed ranks
Sell a rank for a month. It ends by itself.
Give a product a duration and the player pays once for that period. When it runs out, your expiry commands run in the game and the Discord role goes. No subscriptions, nothing to cancel.

What players and you see
-
On the store
The product says how long it lasts, like 1 month. After paying, the order page shows until when it runs.
-
A reminder before the end
Players get a mail before it ends, with a button that opens the checkout with the rank and their name filled in.
-
Who has what
Timed products in the dashboard lists every active rank with its end, and the ones that ended.
Fixed at the moment of purchase
The expiry commands are filled in for that player when they pay, and kept. If you change or delete the product later, the rank they bought still ends the way it was sold. That is the kind of detail that keeps support tickets away.
Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. A player pays once for a period. Nothing is charged again, so there is nothing to cancel and no failed payments to chase. Many players are young; a one-off payment is easier for them and their parents.
What happens when a player buys again before the end?
The new days are added to what is left. Nothing they paid for is lost.
Can I end a rank early?
Yes. Under Timed products you see who has what and until when, and you can end one. The expiry commands run right away.
Do players get a reminder?
Yes, a mail in your colours three days before the end, or a day before for periods under a week, with a button to extend. You can turn it off.
