Changing your StackPath subscription is simple and can be completed directly from within the StackPath Control Panel. 

This guide expects that you have already created a Stack. To learn how to create a stack, please view this support article. 

If a single Service ($10) was selected for free trial, you may upgrade to a $20 PRO plan at anytime during the free trial. The remainder of the trial period will be free, and billing for the new plan will begin at the end of the initial trial period.

Changing an Existing Plan

Follow these steps to change an Existing StackPath subscription:

Important Invoice Information

After a plan change has been completed the following changes will occur:

  • The original plan will have a calculated prorated credit
  • The new plan will have a calculated prorated charge

In this example of a plan upgrade, the credits do not equal up to the charge, so the subtotal comes out to a positive charge.

In this example of a plan downgrade, the credit for the original plan is greater than the charges of the new plan, so there is a negative subtotal, indicating account credit.Plan_Downgrade_Example.png

These account changes will take effect immediately, and your adjusted payments will take effect at the end of the billing cycle.
