When the feature is turned off, recurring payments continue to work as before, meaning all services may be charged automatically after a client activates recurring payments with a saved card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the feature is enabled, recurring payments can be configured individually for each service. Existing saved cards will no longer be automatically charged for all services. Instead, clients must explicitly activate recurring payments for each individual service using the \u201cActivate recurring payments\u201d option. Only the selected services will then be charged recurrently.
