Connect Stripe for billing

HOWLOPS uses Stripe to handle subscription billing. The connection is established automatically when you start your first paid subscription. This guide covers the manual steps if you need to update your payment method, manage the Stripe portal, or understand how the integration works.

Start a paid subscription

1. Go to Settings > Billing.
2. Click Upgrade next to the tier you want.
3. Click Continue to checkout. You are redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page.
4. Enter your card details (or select a saved payment method if you have one).
5. Complete the payment. You are returned to the billing page with your new tier active.

Update payment method or billing details

1. Go to Settings > Billing.
2. Click Manage billing (opens the Stripe customer portal).
3. In the portal, update your card, billing address, or VAT / tax ID.
4. Click Save. Changes take effect on your next invoice.

Download invoices

1. Go to Settings > Billing > Invoices.
2. Each invoice row has a Download PDF link.

Alternatively, download all past invoices from the Stripe customer portal under Billing history.

Tax ID and currency

• To add a VAT number or other tax ID: Settings > Billing > Tax information.
• To switch billing currency: Settings > Billing > Currency. Supported currencies and current rates are returned by GET /api/v1/public/billing/currencies.

Cancel subscription

1. Go to Settings > Billing.
2. Click Cancel subscription.
3. Confirm the cancellation. Your workspace downgrades to Free at the end of the current billing period.
