Description

Free ShippingWhen checked, the first item that is purchased will qualify for free shipping as well as the rebilled items. Often this is used when offering the customer an optional auto order schedule, but can also be used for fixed schedule auto orders. This option requires that you first configured the qualifying free shipping methods by configuring the free shipping methods with the "Qualifies for Free Shipping" configuration in the shipping method editor. (see: Shipping Method Configuration#FreeShipping)

One Per Customer

Check this box to keep a customer from purchasing more than one. This, in theory, is to help prevent abuse.

This calculation looks at email and address information on previous orders.

Note: Test orders do NOT get checked for one per customer violations.  This allows you to repeatedly test your items without being blocked.

No Easy Cancel

An Auto Order notification (see below) is normally sent to the customer upon successful ordering. If this box is checked, the order notification will not be sent. The customer will have to contact you by other means to cancel their auto order.

Cancel Item ID

If you enter an item ID here, when the customer cancels the auto order will automatically change to charge the customer one more time for the cancel
item ID, and then the auto order is cancelled.
