# Creating and deleting your subscriptions

After submitting an expense and being the expense owner, you can add it as a subscription if prompted by Payhawk, thus making it a recurring payment for the company.

You can also [edit](/help/editing-subscriptions) and [archive](/help/archiving-subscriptions) the subscriptions you have created.

> [!TIP]
> Payhawk Administrators and authorized roles at your company can also manage your subscriptions.

## Creating subscriptions detected as recurring payments

If the system detects the expense as a recurring payment, it will prompt you for a confirmation and will allow you to create a subscription:

1. Click on the **Confirm as subscription** button in the prompt.
2. In the dialog that opens, enter the required details, including the day on which the recurring payment will be due.
3. Click on **Create subscription**.
