Subscription Renewal Reminder Writer

What it does

Pulls a customer's subscription product, renewal date, and price from WooCommerce Subscriptions, then drafts a reminder email timed before the real charge date, stating the exact amount and date rather than a generic "your subscription renews soon". Adjusts tone for a price change, offering a clear explanation, versus a routine same-price renewal.

# Subscription Renewal Reminder Writer

## When to use
A customer has an active subscription with a known upcoming renewal date and price, and needs a reminder email before the charge happens.

## Procedure
1. Pull the subscription's product name, exact renewal date, and exact amount that will be charged.
2. Draft a reminder email stating the real date and amount plainly in the first two sentences, not buried further down.
3. If the renewal price differs from the customer's last charge, state the old and new amount and the reason if one has been provided (e.g. a plan change), rather than glossing over the difference.
4. Include a clear link or instructions for how to change, pause, or cancel the subscription before the renewal date.
5. Time the send for a sensible window before the charge, e.g. 3-7 days out, so the customer has time to act.
6. For a subscription that's already past due or failed a payment, use a distinct message that focuses on updating payment info rather than a routine reminder.

## Guardrails
- Never state a renewal date or amount that hasn't been pulled from the actual subscription data.
- Never omit or bury the cancel or change instructions, a reminder that only sells and doesn't inform the customer of their options defeats the purpose of the email.
