Questions Regarding Listing Expirations

Hi Guys,

So a while back, when an advertiser would sign up and pay for a listing using Stripe, their listing would show an expiration date (+1 month). Packages were set to auto-renew every month, so this seemed fine to me. However, I guess the whole time this was not the correct functionality, and after you guys fixed the checkout issues I was having with Stripe, all new listings now show “Never” instead of an expiration date. Our old listings however, still have an expiration date, and the expiration has passed. I have changed these expirations back to NULL in the database, and all seems good so far.

What I’m wondering is, since these listings are set to never expire, what happens if a Stripe subscription is canceled, or if a customer’s card cannot be charged? Will the listing continue to be published indefinitely or will it be unpublished automatically?

I’m just curious whether we will have to manually publish / un-publish listings in the future, or whether GeoDirectory is able to monitor the subscription status at the gateway level (Stripe or PayPal) and act accordingly.

Thank you for any info you can provide.
