Renew a QCMM Membership

QCMM manual renewal creates a successor membership through checkout while preserving the predecessor as history. Renewal is deliberately eligibility-controlled so an old membership cannot bypass the configured renewal window or create duplicate successors.

When Renew Membership Appears

A subscription must belong to the signed-in user and be Active, Cancelled - active until expiration, or Expired. It must have a valid expiration date, be the newest real membership for that Plan, and must not already have a completed or scheduled renewal. An expired membership can renew immediately; a current membership becomes eligible within the administrator’s renewal window.

Complete the Renewal

  1. Open Member Area → My Membership and find the eligible membership.
  2. Choose Renew Membership. QCMM opens checkout for the same Plan and passes the current subscription as the renewal predecessor.
  3. Review the new checkout/billing details and complete the applicable payment flow.
  4. Return to My Membership and verify the predecessor remains in history and the successor is Active or Scheduled according to lifecycle timing.

How Continuity Is Protected

QCMM links the new subscription with renewed_from_id rather than extending the old row in place. When a successor should start after the current term, lifecycle processing prevents it from activating before predecessor expiration cleanup is complete. This preserves dates, Joomla-group transitions, billing evidence, and the customer’s membership timeline.
