What happens if the payment method is invalid at step 8?

The system will handle payment failure, possibly retry or cancel subscription, as indicated in execution_table rows 9 and 11.

Full Transcript

Subscription billing setup starts by selecting a plan and collecting customer information. Next, the billing frequency is set, such as monthly. Then, the payment method is configured. Once all information is complete, the subscription is activated. The system sends a confirmation email and schedules automatic charges each billing cycle. It processes payments and handles success or failure. The subscription renews automatically unless the customer cancels or payment fails repeatedly, which ends the subscription.
