How do I resume my subscription?

Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.

If your subscription has ended after a cancellation, every page of the app shows the notice „Dein Abo ist gekündigt“ (your subscription is cancelled) instead of your numbers. Click Abo wieder aufnehmen (resume subscription) there if a payment method is on file, and you keep working from that day on. The owner or an admin can do this, unlike cancelling, which only the owner can do. If your cancelled subscription is still running, you withdraw the cancellation instead, as described in How do I cancel?

How it works

  1. Sign in. Every page shows the notice „Dein Abo ist gekündigt“, and only Einstellungen (settings) still opens.
  2. If there's no payment method, click Zahlungsart hinterlegen (add payment method) in the notice and enter it at Stripe.
  3. Click Abo wieder aufnehmen. You'll find the button in the notice and under Einstellungen on the Firma & Tarif (company & plan) tab in the Zahlung (payment) card. It then says „Dein Abo läuft wieder.“ (your subscription is running again).

Example: Back from 16 November 2026

Your subscription ends on 31 October 2026, and you resume it on 16 November 2026. The days from 1 to 15 November 2026 cost nothing. For November you pay only the 15 days from 16 November 2026, and the invoice for that comes on 16 December 2026.

What else applies when you resume

The terms and conditions

When you resume the subscription, the current terms and conditions apply.

Using a different payment method

If a payment method is already on file, the notice names it. To use a different one, click Andere Zahlungsart hinterlegen (add a different payment method). How to enter it at Stripe is covered in How do I add a card or direct debit?

Cancelling again

If you cancel again later, you won't be offered a second free month if one of your OTTO accounts already had one.
