Close a subscription Close subscriptions
==================== ===================
Losing a customer is always difficult, especially if you put a lot of effort into getting them to Odoo *Subscriptions* provides flexibility for businesses to decide whether customers can self-manage

1. If you adopt such methods, you are among companies that actively and indirectly spread the
phobia of subscriptions, who do not think about how negatively dissatisfied customers could impact
their business and, who frustrate the customers in a way or another. However, at some point, it is
understandable that you do not want your customers to be involved in your subscription status.
2. If you do not adopt such methods, you are among companies that continue to evolve in a
long-term subscription business model, especially in an era of ultra-fast communications between
dissatisfied customers, and who retain their customers by making it easier for them to leave if
they want to. By giving them the opportunity to close their own subscriptions, your customers do
not feel trapped because they subscribed to your products/services.
In summary, the **Odoo Subscriptions** application gives you the
**possibility to choose what you want to apply**. Indeed, you can decide whether to give your customers the
option to close their subscriptions whenever they want to or to restrict this possibility. It depends
on you and we will show you how to do that in our amazing application.
