This page covers what **you pay SpinBook** — your subscription. It's completely
separate from the payments your couples make to you (those stay between you and your
couples, through the Venmo/PayPal/Zelle handles you set in Branding & payments).

## Subscribing

1. Go to **Account → Billing** in your portal (Account is in the top navigation).
2. Pick a plan and select **Subscribe**.
3. You'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page to enter your card and billing
   address. Your card details never touch SpinBook — they're handled entirely by
   Stripe, our payment processor.
4. After paying you land back on your Billing page, which shows your active plan and
   renewal date. A receipt goes to your billing email.

## Managing your subscription

Select **Manage billing** on the Billing page to open your secure Stripe portal. From
there you can:

- Update your card or billing address
- Switch plans
- Cancel your subscription

## Invoices & receipts

Every invoice and receipt lives right on the Billing page — the **Invoices &
receipts** list shows the date, amount, and status of each charge, with a **View**
link (opens Stripe's hosted invoice, which doubles as your receipt) and a **PDF**
download for your records or your accountant.

Cancelling stops future charges; your access runs through the end of the period you've
already paid for.

## Sales tax

Prices are shown before tax. Where SpinBook is required to collect sales tax, Stripe
calculates it from your billing address and adds it at checkout — the exact amount is
shown before you confirm.

## If a payment fails

Your Billing page will show **Past due**, and Stripe retries the card automatically
over the following days. Update your card via **Manage billing** to clear it — your
portal keeps working during the retry window.
