Switch from PayPal to a card

Applies to 0.11Updated 25 Oct 20262 min read

Cancel the PayPal subscription at the end of its period, then buy the plan again and choose Card. You are never charged twice for the same period.

A subscription can't move between PayPal and a card by itself, so you start a new checkout with the card.

1. Open Account › Billing, click Cancel subscription… and confirm with Cancel at period end. PayPal stops future payments, and you keep your plan until the paid-through date.
2. Start a new checkout: on the Pricing page, click Buy monthly or Buy annual under your plan.
3. Under Payment method, choose Card (Stripe), tick the terms box and click Continue to payment.
4. Enter your card on Stripe's secure page.

The card plan replaces the PayPal plan as soon as the payment is confirmed. The PayPal plan never renews.

Tip: the card plan starts and is charged on the day you buy it. To use the full PayPal period you already paid for, switch close to the renewal date shown in Billing.

You can also wait until the PayPal plan ends, then click Renew in Billing and choose a card. The Pro tools are locked between the end date and your new payment.

If it still doesn't work: open a ticket in Account › Support and we'll help.
