The product
Lumen is the world’s first hand-held, portable device to measure metabolism through the breath. Lumen tracks, analyzes and shows you how to improve your metabolic health. It indicates the type of fuel your body is using to produce energy and helps to understand how your metabolism functions while providing insights on how to improve it.
The Why
All of our subscription managing capabilities were managed by our Customer Success devision. It took a lot of man power and effort to answer to all the customers that wanted to cancel, renew, refund or upgrade to Duo subscription. The process and user experience of the whole process from start to finish was poor and annoying.
Research
The first step to create the best user experience for our users and meet our business needs is to conduct a comprehensive competitor analysis. We chose to research the best subscription products to gain some meaningful insights
High level flows
After the competitor analysis we started brainstorming and created high level flows to each membership feature.
Flows architecture
Cancellation flow
refund flow
renewal flow
Competitor analysis
spotify
adobe
netflix
google one
After showing the flows, architecture and general ideas to the company stakeholders and legal department we got some guidelines which helped us create a strategy for the membership flows.
Guidelines
Strategy
No portal no problem
In the first stage of this effort because of time pressure and legal requirements we decided not to create a web portal for all the membership flows but to create an app to web experience that will answer our users main pain points.
Money first
One of our legal guidelines was not to show any cost or offers inside the app to avoid paying a 30% cut to app store and google play store.
Make it personal
When users want to cancel / refund show they already achieved since the beginning of their subscription. Giving them a glimpse into their “stats” can be a real eye opener and make them rethink their decision.
Attractive prices
When users are not sure if they want to renew their subscription offer them better renewal prices. We also added a Duo plan for two users share the same Lumen device with two different accounts.
Offer support
Some of the reasons for cancellation can be not understanding how to use features or not understanding the value of them. We decided to try and clear up any confusion by offering to chat with a customer experience representative for help.

User life cycle - Less then 30 days
User life cycle - More then 30 days
user accepts offer
goes to web
user doesn’t accept offer
personalised copy depending on users choice
if user choice “im not loosing weight”
continues to web
We divided the cancellation flow by users life cycle in the product so each user will get a personalised experience
Cancellation flow
In the first 30 days of usage users can request a refund. Lumen is a physical device and therefor users need to send it back to us. We created an in app flow to help them with the process
Refund flow
This flow gives users that cancelled their membership to jump back in and continue their journey with Lumen
Renewal flow
Cancelled user
expired user
continues to web
Outcome
3 months of our automated flows were out to 100% of users
Cancellation requests
76%
71%
Cancelled users that renew
24%
30%
Refunds completed
11%
13%
CS cancellations
30%
10%
Looking forward
To create the best user experience, be free to add more options for managing memberships and have all the legal requirements met we will switch to a proper web portal.
Create a Web Portal
We need to collect more data from our different cancellation flows to see which of our strategies works best so we can save more users from cancelling.
Collect data, save users
Next steps in the world of membership is to create “add-ons” for users to buy on top of their regular membership. For example X private sessions with a Nutritionist.
