Eligible products

The subscription flow checks:

  • product ownership
  • existing live Highlight subscription
  • product status

Draft, scheduled, and published products may appear in the owner Add-ons area. The product needs a usable public destination for visitor clicks.

Directory and banned products are blocked from normal owner subscription actions.

One live Highlight subscription is accepted per product.

Active status

Active status means recurring billing and placement are running.

The Dashboard shows:

  • product name
  • Active label
  • next billing date
  • monthly amount
  • Cancel control

Cancel Highlight

Cancellation is scheduled for the end of the current billing period.

To cancel:

  1. Open Product Dashboard.
  2. Open Add-ons, Highlight.
  3. Select Cancel.
  4. Review the displayed end date.

The placement remains active through the paid period. The Dashboard shows Cancels followed by the date.

Resume Highlight

Use Resume before the scheduled end date to keep recurring billing active.

  1. Open Add-ons, Highlight.
  2. Select Resume.
  3. Confirm that the cancellation notice is removed.

A product promoted to KittyDir cannot resume Highlight through normal owner controls.

Failed renewal and On hold

A failed renewal pauses the Highlight placement.

The product is removed from Today's Highlights and product-page Highlight banners. Follow the payment instructions in the email or Dashboard, then restore the subscription through the available control.

Highlight activity also contributes to All Analytics.

Use Highlight Analytics for the placement subset and All for combined product activity.
