Track the requested change and the billing result

A pause, cancellation and downgrade can affect access and billing differently. For your subscription desk, configure separate HeroDash fields for the customer’s requested action, intended date, approved action and recorded billing result. Agents can explain an available alternative while keeping the original request visible to the account owner.

Use a ticket trigger to tag a billing review and notify its assignee when the status changes. Record the subscription-system confirmation in the ticket after an authorized change. For follow-up reminders, HeroDash’s time-based automations scan hourly; use the agreed live handoff for a payment deadline that cannot wait for that scan. A ticket notification itself does not change the subscription.

what comes off the call

Make the next billing decision traceable

The support record should let another agent understand both what the subscriber asked for and what has actually changed.

Account or subscription reference
Current plan and next billing date
Requested action and requested effective date

Relevant invoice or disputed-charge reference
Accepted offer or approval, if any
Recorded billing outcome and customer confirmation

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Is pausing payment the same as pausing the service?

That depends on the subscription platform and your configuration. Map payment collection, service access and renewal separately before agents explain a pause. Use the account’s recorded result to confirm what will happen next.

How should agents handle a customer who still wants to cancel?

Keep the cancellation request and requested date visible. Explain an applicable alternative if the customer wants to hear it, then follow the approved cancellation process when they choose to proceed. Record the result and send the relevant confirmation.
