Summary
Overview: Subscribe to Launch, Grow or Scale from Billing → My Plan to keep your store running after your trial, or to reopen a suspended store. You choose a plan and how often to pay, then pay by credit card. If you subscribe while your trial is still running, you get 50% off your first payment automatically.
Prerequisites:
- A credit card. You can add it during checkout.
- Know which plan you want. See How to Choose a Prosperna Plan.
- Already on a paid plan? Use Change Plan on your plan's card instead. The Add to Order buttons only show for trial and suspended stores.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open My Plan
- Click your name in the top-right corner of the dashboard, then click Billing. The My Plan tab opens.
- On the trial banner at the top of the dashboard, you can also click Choose a Plan.
- If your store is suspended, click Buy a Plan on the lock screen.
Step 2: Choose your payment term
- Open the Payment Terms list and choose Monthly, Quarterly or Annually.
- If you choose Annually, the plan card may show annual promo offers. If you pick one, check your invoice after you pay. If the offer isn't applied, email support@prosperna.com.
- If you're still on your trial, each plan card shows a 50% OFF / until trial ends ribbon, the full price crossed out, your first payment at half price in red, and what it renews at, for example first month, then $29.00/mo.
Step 3: Add a plan to your order
- On the plan you want, click Add to Order.
- The Order Summary panel shows your choice under PLAN SELECTED (for example, Grow Plan). For an annual term, it also shows your offer under PROMO OFFER SELECTED.
- To switch plans, click Add to Order on a different plan. Your order only ever holds one plan.
Step 4: Check your discount (optional promo code)
- If you're still on your trial, the Discount row already shows Welcome discount (50% off your first payment), with a countdown (Ends in …) to the end of your trial. You don't need to type anything.
- If you have a promo code, type it under PROMO CODE in the Enter Discount Code box, then click Apply. You'll see Promo code successfully applied!.
- Check the totals: Plan Upgrade (the plan price for your term, per month, quarter or year), Discount and Total.
Step 5: Choose your card
- Payment Type is set to Credit Card.
- Under Select a Credit Card, click the card you want to pay with. Your default card is marked Default Credit Card and is picked automatically.
- To use a new card, click Add a New Credit Card. In the Add Credit Card window, enter your card details and click Save Card. The new card is selected for you.
Step 6: Pay
- Click Pay Now. The button shows Processing while the payment goes through.
- When the payment succeeds, you're taken back to My Plan.
Or: Start a free trial first (if you've never had one)
If your store has never had a free trial, My Plan shows Try Prosperna FREE for 14 days!
- Click Start Trial. The Order Summary shows Scale plan 14-day FREE trial, and Amount due today for the 14-day trial is $ 0.00.
- Click ACTIVATE 14-DAY TRIAL NOW.
Verify It Worked
Success criteria:
- Current Plan at the top of My Plan shows your new plan (for example, GROW PLAN), and the menu under your name shows it too (for example, Grow Plan).
- The Order Summary is empty again: You haven't ordered anything yet. Add a plan to upgrade.
- The payment is listed in the Invoices tab.
- If your store was suspended, you can use the whole dashboard again.
Troubleshooting
Common errors
- "Please complete the required payment details first.": no card is selected. Pick a card under Select a Credit Card, or add one.
- "Please wait while we check your price.": Prosperna is still working out your trial discount. Wait a moment, then click Pay Now again.
- "Your trial offer has ended, so the price has changed.": your trial ended while checkout was open, so the welcome discount no longer applies. The Total updates to the full price. Check it, then click Pay Now again.
- "Your welcome discount is bigger, so this code was not applied.": your promo code takes off less than the 50% welcome discount, so you get the welcome discount. The code isn't used up, so you can use it later.
- "The promo code is no longer valid. Please remove it or try a different one.": the code expired or was used up between applying it and paying. Clear the code, or try another.
- "The promo code could not be applied. Please try again.": the code couldn't be checked. Check the spelling and try again.
- "A payment is already in progress. Please wait for it to finish.": you clicked Pay Now twice, or are paying in another tab. Wait for the first payment to finish.
- "Something went wrong with your payment. Please try again." or "Unable to start checkout. Please try again.": try again. If it keeps happening, contact support.
- You're back on My Plan, but Current Plan didn't change: your card may have been declined, or your bank may need to verify the payment. Try again with a different card. If it still doesn't work, contact support.
- An error appears in red in the Add Credit Card window: the card details were rejected. Check the card number, expiry date and security code, or use another card.
Limitations & considerations
- You can only pay by credit card.
- Welcome discount: you get it automatically if your store is still within its 14-day trial and hasn't used it before. It takes 50% off your first payment on any plan and any term. Every payment after that is full price. A promo code and the welcome discount are never combined. You get whichever takes off more.
- Your paid plan starts as soon as the payment goes through, even if you still had trial days left.
- All prices are in US dollars and exclusive of VAT. For an Official Receipt, email support@prosperna.com.
