Subscriptions
How subscription-priced plugins work, billing cycles, cancellation, and what happens when a subscription ends.
Overview
Some sellers offer their plugins as subscriptions billed monthly or yearly via Stripe. Subscriptions give you continued access to the plugin and all updates published during your subscription period.
Billing
Your subscription is charged automatically by Stripe on the renewal date (monthly or yearly). You can see your next billing date and manage your payment method at Dashboard → Settings → Billing.
If a payment fails, Stripe will retry the charge over several days. During this time your license remains active. If retries are exhausted without success, the subscription is cancelled and your license is revoked.
Cancelling
Cancel a subscription at any time from Dashboard → My Purchases. After cancellation:
- Your license stays active until the end of the current paid period — you are not cut off immediately.
- Once the period ends, the license is automatically revoked and the plugin will stop working on your server.
- You will not be charged again.
When a Subscription Expires
When a subscription lapses (either cancelled and the period ended, or a payment failed), the license key is revoked. The next time your server tries a heartbeat, it will receive a license_revoked or license_expired response and the plugin will disable itself.
Your downloaded plugin files remain in your filesystem. Re-subscribing on the platform issues a new license key and the plugin will activate again on next startup.
Re-subscribing
To resume access to a cancelled or expired subscription plugin, go to the plugin's product page and subscribe again. A new order is created with a new license key. Update the key in your plugin config and restart the plugin.
