Changing the Subscription PlanIn case of changing the subscription plan, a recalculation for the billing period is carried out. The remaining balance is the difference between the cost of the current subscription plan, cost of the plan for the past period, and the cost of extra requests made.
OutstandingBallance = CurrentPlanPrice - CurrentPlanPrice*UsedDays/TotalDays - OverlimitAmount*OverlimitPrice, where:
- Current Plan Price - current subscription rate
- New Plan Price - new subscription rate
- Total Days - total number of days in the current accounting period (depends on the number of days in the current month)
- Used Days - number of days that passed since the last payment was made
- Overlimit Amount - number of extra requests made in the current period
- Overlimit Price - cost of extra request according to the current subscription rate
In case your Outstanding Balance is a positive amount, it gets converted to PickPoint Credits. If the PickPoint Credits is a negative number, which can happen when changing to a more expensive subscription plan, the resulting amount is debited from your card.
The new payment due date is set as the day after you changed the subscription plan.
Linking a Bank CardTo buy a paid subscription you need to link at least one bank card to your PickPoint account. Our website works with an online acquisition service which allows you to pay for our services with Visa and Mastercard bank cards. To add a card to your PickPoint account, go to the 'Billing' section in the
dashboard menu. Open the 'Payment Methods' section and click the 'Add' button. You will be shown a secure window with a payment page, where you will need to provide your bank card information. For additional card holder authentication we use the 3D Secure protocol. If your bank supports this technology, you will be redirected to your bank's server for an additional identification procedure. If you need more information about the rules and methods of additional identification, please contact your bank.
In order to check the credit standing of a newly linked bank card, PickPoint will debit $1 from it and then cancel this operation. This way we check if the card is active, while keeping your card balance unchanged.
