Access

Active and inactive business impact

Understand what changes when a business or subscription is active, pending, paused, past due, cancelled, or otherwise inactive.

Check this before launch

Make sure the business subscription is active before printing or sharing review assets.

If blocked

Use the subscription page to restore access, then test the customer path again.

Overview

What changes when access is inactive?

An active business can use the full Reputr workflow. When a business is inactive because of subscription state, the dashboard blocks protected features and guides the owner toward subscription management.

This protects the product from half-working states where QR codes are shared but the owner cannot manage the review flow properly.

  • Active businesses can access reviews, QR codes, customization, analytics, and settings.
  • Inactive subscription states show a clear dashboard guard.
  • Subscription pages remain available so owners can restore access.
Steps

How do I restore or confirm access?

  1. 1

    Open the business dashboard and check the subscription or status indicator.

  2. 2

    If the business is pending, choose a plan before sharing QR assets widely.

  3. 3

    If the plan is paused, past due, or cancelled, use the subscription page to resolve access.

  4. 4

    After restoring access, test the review page and dashboard sections before sending new traffic.

Outcome

What does status clarity prevent?

Status clarity helps owners understand why a business cannot use certain tools. It also prevents teams from assuming review collection is healthy when subscription access needs attention.

Owners know exactly why access is blocked.
Staff can avoid promoting inactive QR assets.
The business can recover faster when billing or subscription status changes.
Practical tips

Small moves that make this feature work better

  • Resolve status issues before printing new posters.
  • Check access after payment method changes or subscription updates.
  • Treat inactive status as an operational pause for review campaigns.
