## Stored Context

Payrail Agent 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, Payrail Agent 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.
