## Subscription Card

When a purchase is recognized as recurring, MagicPay requests or coordinates a Mercuryo-backed static card specifically for that subscription instead of using a one-time card.

## Stored Context

MagicPay stores details needed to manage the subscription later.

- Merchant or provider.
- Subscription purpose.
- Next charge date when available.
- Cancellation instructions and route.

## Renewal Reminder

Before the next charge, MagicPay reminds the user so they can cancel or continue. The goal is a single App Store-like place for subscriptions created anywhere on the internet.

Note: Done when: the subscription shows a next-charge date and a cancellation route you can act on from MagicPay.
