Managing Subscriptions & Saved Cards

Managing Card Subscriptions

Manage subscriptions via Dashboard → Billing → Subscriptions. You can:

  • View details (plan, next billing date, history)
  • Update payment method
  • Cancel subscription (stops future renewals)
Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge. Service continues until the current period ends.

Managing Saved Cards

Manage saved cards via Dashboard → Billing → Payment Methods. You can:

  • View saved cards (last 4 digits only)
  • Set a default card
  • Remove saved cards
  • Add new payment methods

Troubleshooting Card Payment Issues

Reasons: Insufficient funds, incorrect details, expired card, bank block, spending limit, international transaction disabled.

Solutions: Double-check details, contact bank, try another card, use PayPal.

Wait a few minutes, check email for confirmation, refresh dashboard. If still missing after 15 mins, contact support with username, date/amount, last 4 digits, and statement reference.

These are temporary holds, usually disappearing in 1-5 business days. They aren't actual charges unless payment succeeded. Check your credit balance to confirm. Contact support if unsure.

Reasons: Expired card, insufficient funds, bank decline, card status change. Check email for notifications. Go to Dashboard → Billing → Subscriptions, update payment method. System retries automatically. May need to cancel and create a new subscription if issues persist.
