How can I adjust the settings to prevent new subscriptions from starting the same week or month as the initial order, instead delaying them to the following week or month?
To delay the subscription start date, access the "advanced options" when setting up subscription groups and configure the cutoff days to 7 days for weekly subscriptions and 30 days for monthly subscriptions.
