Purchase an Auto Renewal Product

During the initial product purchase, customers have the option to automatically renew certain products. For example, customers who purchase an annual fishing license and select the auto renewal option during the checkout process will automatically receive a valid fishing license one year after the original purchase date.

30 days prior to the auto renewal, you will receive an email that notifies you when the payment will take place, and how much will be deducted from the bank account or credit card account associated with the product. The payment for auto renewal products is automatically deducted, annually, from the financial account on file in the system.

Complete the following required steps and any optional steps, as necessary to purchase an auto renewal product:

  1. On your customer homepage, in the Licenses section, click Buy Licenses/Permits.
  2. On the Product Catalog page, select the menu for the product you want to purchase.

    Note: When auto renewal is enabled, the customer will receive notifications if the auto renewal product is a new selection, is no longer eligible for auto renewal, if the auto renewal is canceled, or if the payment method on file is expired. Likewise, a notification is sent if the customer's payment information has been changed, or if the auto renewal payment process did not complete for any reason.
