Understanding the Auto-Renew Process Online

Auto-renewal on LouisianaOutdoors.com is a convenient feature designed to ensure uninterrupted access to hunting and fishing licenses. This process automatically renews a user’s license at the end of its current validity period without requiring manual intervention. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how auto-renewal works and key considerations for users.

How Auto-Renewal Works

1. Initial License Purchase Setup: When a user purchases a hunting or fishing license on LouisianaOutdoors.com, they have the option to enable auto-renewal and provide payment details on the Checkout Page.
2. License Validity Period: The license remains active for a specified duration (e.g., annual licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase).
3. Pre-Renewal Notification: Users receive an email notification before the renewal date, informing them about the upcoming charge and any updates to their license or fees.
4. Automatic Payment Processing: On the renewal date, the payment method on file is charged for the next validity period.
5. License Continuation: Once the payment is successfully processed, the new license is issued and remains accessible through the user’s LouisianaOutdoors.com account.
6. Failed Payment Handling: If the payment fails due to an expired or insufficient balance, users receive an alert to update their payment details. The system may attempt to process the payment again within a set timeframe.  After updating payment method, the user can select to submit the transaction again from the manage auto renew page.
