How billing works
- Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. TokenShield never stores your card details.
- Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
- Upgrades take effect immediately; the next invoice reflects the new plan.
- Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.
Cancellation
You can cancel any time from your billing settings. Cancellation stops auto-renewal — your plan remains active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Refunds
Fees are non-refundable for partial billing periods. We do not pro-rate refunds on cancellation or downgrade. This is part of our Terms of Service.
Receipts and invoices
Stripe emails receipts automatically. Past invoices are available in your billing portal.
Failed payments and downgrades
If a renewal payment fails, Stripe will retry. If retries fail, your plan downgrades to Free Lite and paid features are paused until billing is restored. On a downgrade or cancellation, the bot stops sending paid branding, paid media, and custom reply buttons immediately — your saved settings are preserved and re-enable automatically when you resubscribe.
