Scope

How can we activate End-of-trial action on our site?

Error: "Input param `subscriptions.trial_end_action` can be sent only when the feature Trial End Action is enabled." 

Summary

This feature is not available by default and it has to be enabled from the backend. You can reach out to support@chargebee.com to enable this feature.

End of trial actions 
Trial period completion can result in subscription activations or cancellations. This setup defaults to how you want to handle trial completion scenarios. You can also set these defaults as mandatory, and prevent overriding by locking them. Once enabled, navigate to Configure Chargebee > Billing LogIQ > Subscription trial management > End of trial actions > Enable.

Solution

You can enable the feature configuration for the end of trial period by navigating to Configure Chargebee > Billing LogIQ > Subscription trial management > End of trial actions

Then you can choose the site-level trial-end action as Activate subscription or Cancel subscription.

To override the End of Trial action for a Subscription, click on ellipses (three dots) and enable the toggle for 'Allow overriding via Chargebee interface'.
