Do subscriptions automatically renew?

[iagobruno]

Hi Lucas.
I was reading the documentation and one point was not clear to me, should the application manually renew each user's subscription after expiration or is the renewal automatic until explicitly cancelled?

For example this given subscription:

$plan = Plan::create([
    'name'             => 'gold',
    'periodicity_type' => PeriodicityType::Month,
    'periodicity'      => 1,
    'grace_days'       => 7,
]);

$user->subscribeTo($plan);

After 30 days does the application need to manually call $user->lastSubscription()->renew() so that the user continues to have access to the features?

Hey! Thanks for bringing up this question, Iago! The subscriptions currently do not renew. The idea is that you have to periodically call the renew()method to grant your users access to their features. 🤘

Thanks for answering.
I was configuring your package to use with Stripe's webhooks and this question came up.

I suggest you specify this behavior in the documentation on README.md for future devs

Hey! You're right, I'm gonna describe this behavior on the docs. 🚀

If you don't mind, I'd love to follow your work with this package and the Stripe webhooks. Is your repo public, @iagobruno? 😅
