I am still on the Free Plan after upgrading

After upgrading, your account should be switched immediately to the plan you paid for. In any case you still appear to be on the Free Plan, it can be due to certain scenarios which are explained below and the corresponding troubleshooting that you can do.

1. Cached settings

Web browsers use cookies and cache to maintain consistent settings across sessions. Subscription status may be cached and not updated after an upgrade. Try to hard refresh your browser or clear your cache.

Follow the instructions here on how to hard refresh or clear the cache on your browser.

2. You are logged into a different account

If you are using a different device than the one you originally used to update, it's common to accidentally create another account. This can result in not being logged in with the same account that you subscribed to.

Follow the instructions here to check if you have duplicate/ multiple accounts.

My Payment failed. What should I do?

There are a couple of reasons why your credit card may have failed, some simple fixes to check:

1. Is the expiry date up to date in the system? You can add or delete cards in your Subscription & Billing section. You may check this article on how to update your credit card.
2. Try re-entering the card, sometimes you may have entered incorrect numbers and the system only detected this when it went to process the payment. An incorrect number entered can also be due to a faulty key/s on your keyboard.
3. Try using an alternative card if available. Please note that we only accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express (AMEX), China UnionPay (CUP) and Japan Credit Bureau (JCB)
4. Contact your bank to ensure that nothing is wrong from their end.
