This page walks through what a logged-in portal user does in the Subscription Hub: viewing their subscriptions, managing one, and renewing one.

Viewing the Subscription Hub as a Portal User

1

Open the subscriptions page

As a logged-in user, navigate to the portal page that hosts the Subscription Hub component.
2

See your subscriptions

You see a card for each subscription you are allowed to view.

A subscription appears here only when your contact role is included in the subscription product’s Subscription Visibility (FS_PORTAL_Subscription_Visibility__c) setting. If a subscription you own is missing, the product’s visibility picklist most likely does not include your role.

Managing a Subscription as a Portal User

1

Open Manage

From the Subscription Hub, click Manage on the subscription you want to change.

Use the management options

From the Manage Subscription view you can:
  • Set the subscription to auto-renew
  • Update your payment method
  • View your subscription history
  • View your subscription card
  • View and add benefit allocations
  • Add new contacts
  • Cancel your subscription
Cancelling a subscription requires that the Cancel Subscription page is set up with the appropriate component.

Renewing a Subscription as a Portal User

Open the subscriptions page

As an authenticated user, navigate to the portal page that hosts the Subscription Hub component.

A renewal order must exist for a subscription to be renewed. If there is no renewal order, you land on an error page instead of the renewal page.

Limitations and Common Pitfalls

  • A subscription you own does not appear. The hub shows a subscription only when your contact role is listed in the product’s Subscription Visibility (FS_PORTAL_Subscription_Visibility__c) picklist. An empty picklist hides the subscription from everyone, including its owner. Add the appropriate roles to the product to make it visible.
  • “Not eligible to manage.” You can see a subscription but not manage it when your role is in Subscription Visibility but not in Manage Subscription (FS_PORTAL_Manage_Subscription__c). Add your role to the management picklist on the product.
  • Manage and Renew links go to the site root. This happens when the hub’s Renew Page (renewPageUrl) and Manage Page (managePageUrl) properties were left at their default of /. Set them to the real pages — see the Subscription Hub Overview.
  • Only subscription products show. Non-subscription purchases never appear in the hub.
  • A generic “unable to retrieve subscriptions” message. The hub reports a single generic error if loading fails for any reason. The specific cause is recorded only in the debug logs, so check there when troubleshooting.
