HelpPlans and billingPay by card

Pay by card

You choose yearly or monthly, finish on Stripe's secure page, and your plan shows as active once Stripe confirms the payment.

Updated September 20262 min readFor owners and admins
Before you start

Only an owner or admin can pay. If your budget is under $50K a year, your plan is free and there is nothing to pay.

Pay for your plan

  1. Open Subscription settings

    On a computer, press the gear next to your organization's name at the top of the page, then choose Subscription. In a narrow window the tab is called Plan.

  2. Choose Yearly or Monthly

    The price updates as you switch. Yearly shows how much it saves.

  3. Press Continue to payment

    Stripe's secure payment page opens. Ember never sees or stores your card number.

  4. Finish on Stripe's page

    Enter your card details there. When you are done, Stripe brings you back to Ember.

After you pay

  • Your plan shows as Active once Stripe confirms the payment, with how you are billed and your renewal date.
  • The card on file shows by its last four digits, for example "Paying with Visa ending 4242."
  • Manage billing opens Stripe's billing page for your organization.
  • Nothing in Ember changes when you pay. Every app and every user was already included.

If a payment fails

Your plan shows Payment needed, with the note "We could not collect your last payment. Everything is still on." Press Manage billing and update your card there.

Common questions

I paid, but the page still asks me to pay.

Stripe's confirmation can take a moment to reach Ember. Refresh the page before you pay again, so you are not charged twice. If it still asks after a few minutes, write to hello@donewithember.org.

The page says I need to confirm my email first.

New accounts confirm their email before paying. Press the button in your welcome email, or sign in again from the sign-in page, which confirms it too.

Can we pay by check or bank transfer?

Card is the only way to pay on the page. If your finance office needs an invoice, ask us to invoice you instead.

Who can pay?

Owners and admins. Other people do not see Subscription in Settings.
