Your free trial
When you sign up, you automatically get a 7-day free trial. This gives you access to Pro features, but with a reduced transaction limit:
- 50 transactions (not the full Pro limit of 500)
- Custom domains
- Advanced analytics
- Full API access
The trial countdown is displayed in your dashboard so you know exactly when it expires.
What happens after the trial
When your 7-day trial ends:
- Grace period (2 days) - Your account remains active and payments still process, but you'll see a warning in the dashboard
- Account paused - After the grace period, your account will be paused. Payment buttons will stop working, and customers will see an error. Your data is preserved.
To keep your account active, subscribe to a paid plan before the trial ends. You can reactivate a paused account at any time by subscribing.
Dashboard overview
After signing up, you'll see your dashboard with these sections:
- Overview - Key metrics and account status
- Transactions - View all payments received
- API Keys - Manage your API keys for integration
- Domains - Register domains for your payment pages
- Settings - Manage your profile and account preferences
Next steps
Next, you'll need to Connect Stripe to start receiving payments.
