I have a question that is not answered here
We are retiring 2Checkout, our previous payment provider, and consolidating all billing on Stripe. This is happening across 2026, and every account currently billed through 2Checkout is transitioning.
If your subscription is billed through 2Checkout, your account manager or our support team will contact you with your transition date. You can also reach out at any time and we will move you across sooner.
Which payment methods can I use on Stripe?
- Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link. The quickest option, and the closest equivalent if you currently pay by PayPal. A few taps, no card details to enter manually.
- Card. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and other major brands.
- Bank transfer or Direct Debit. Available depending on your country and currency. These need extra verification and take several days to clear, so start early if you choose this route.
PayPal is not available on Stripe. If you currently pay by PayPal you will need to choose one of the options above.
What happens to my plan and my access?
Your plan, your limits and your data stay exactly as they are. Moving to Stripe changes how your subscription is billed, not what it includes.
Your access continues uninterrupted as long as a payment method is in place on Stripe before your next renewal.
Will my price change?
Your pricing stays the same.
However, we bill in four currencies on Stripe: USD, EUR, GBP, and JPY. If you were previously paying in your local currency, your payments will be converted to whichever of these four currencies applies to your region.
Do I lose the money I have already paid?
No. Any unused balance from your current subscription transfers across as credit on your Stripe account and is applied automatically to your next payment. You will see it reflected in the amount due at checkout.
Do I need to cancel anything with my old payment method?
No. We stop the existing recurring billing agreement from our side. No further payments will be taken through it, and there is nothing you need to cancel yourself. This includes PayPal billing agreements.
When do I need to do this by?
2Checkout is being retired during 2026. Your account has a specific transition date, which your account manager or our support team will confirm with you.
Once your account has moved to Stripe, set up your payment method promptly. If your subscription renews and no payment method is in place, the renewal will not process and your access will be interrupted.
Please note: If you plan to pay by bank transfer or Direct Debit, start at least two weeks before your renewal date to allow for verification.

What if I cannot pay by card?
Bank transfer and Direct Debit are available in most countries. Contact our support team or your account manager and we will set this up with you. Please start this early, as bank payments take longer to clear.
