Stripe subscription_canceled (13.2) Checklist for SaaS

Recurring SaaS disputes turn on two facts: affirmative auto-renewal consent at signup and whether the user canceled before billing.

1. Prove Checkout Consent

A footer link to a general Terms page won't win a 13.2 dispute. Quote the exact checkout disclosure, renewal price, billing interval, and the UTC timestamp and IP when the user subscribed.

2. Highlight Post-Renewal Activity

Put logins, API calls, or file exports from after the disputed renewal in your first paragraph, with their UTC timestamps.

Questions

What if the user asked support to cancel after the renewal settled?

List both UTC timestamps: the renewal settlement time and the later cancellation request, paired with your checkout disclosure.

Does Mastercard require pre-billing renewal notices?

Mastercard requires recurring billing terms at signup and advance notice for annual or trial-to-paid renewals. Attach delivery timestamps for reminder emails.

Check your canceled-subscription dispute.

The form opens on this dispute type and looks for the renewal consent and the usage after renewal.
