# Managing Your Subscription and Payments

Everything about your subscription is in **Account Settings**: https://app.templated.io/account

Only the **team owner** sees the Subscription section. If you don't see it, ask the owner of your team, or check that you are logged in with the account that pays the subscription.

## Open the billing portal

1. Log in at https://app.templated.io
2. Go to **Account Settings** (https://app.templated.io/account).
3. In the **Subscription** section, click **Manage Subscription**.
4. The secure billing portal opens. There you can:
   - Update your card (payment method).
   - Retry a failed payment / pay an open invoice.
   - See and download invoices and receipts.
   - Update your billing details (company name, address, tax ID).
   - Cancel your subscription.

There is no "Billing" or "Change Plan" menu in Templated. Use **Account Settings > Manage Subscription**.

## Update your card

1. Account Settings > **Manage Subscription**.
2. Add a new payment method and set it as default.
3. If you have an unpaid invoice, pay it from the same page.

## Past due: payment failed

"Past Due" means the last payment of your subscription failed.

What happens while you are past due:
- New renders are blocked. The API returns: "Your payment method on file is past due. Please update your payment method to continue or contact support at support@templated.io."
- Paid features (editor downloads, bulk and catalog generation, integrations) stop working.
- Your templates and renders are not deleted.

What to do:
1. Go to Account Settings > **Manage Subscription**.
2. Update your card and pay the open invoice.
3. When the payment succeeds, your plan becomes active again.

If the payment keeps failing after several automatic retries, the subscription is **cancelled automatically** and the account goes back to the Free plan. Then you need to upgrade again at https://app.templated.io/upgrade.

If our team set up custom limits for your account, a failed payment or a new subscription can reset them to the plan defaults. Ask in the chat so a team member can check.

## Card declined

The decline reason is often not shown to us. Try this:
1. **Contact your bank.** Many banks block international or online subscription payments. Ask them to allow the charge.
2. Check the card details, billing address and available limit.
3. Try **another card**.
4. If it still fails, ask in the chat. Alternative payment methods are handled case by case by our team. Ask in the chat and a team member will help you.

## Payment methods

- Subscriptions are paid by **credit or debit card**.
- Pix and boleto are not available.

## Invoices and receipts

- Invoices are **not emailed automatically**.
- See them in Account Settings > **Billing History**, or in **Manage Subscription**, where you can download them as PDF.

## Company name, address and tax ID (VAT)

- You can add a tax ID during checkout.
- To add or change your company name, address or tax ID for **future invoices**: Account Settings > **Manage Subscription** > billing information > update.
- Invoices that were **already issued cannot be changed**.

## Brazil: nota fiscal

- Customers in Brazil pay in BRL.
- A **nota fiscal** is issued automatically for each payment.
- A **CPF** (individual) or **CNPJ** (company) is required. If it is missing, Account Settings shows a banner. To add it: Manage Subscription > Billing Information > "Update information" > add your CPF or CNPJ in the Tax ID field.

## Change plan (upgrade or downgrade)

- **Upgrade from the free trial:** go to https://app.templated.io/upgrade, choose a plan and monthly or annual billing.
- After upgrading, the new limits apply immediately.
- To change an existing subscription, use Account Settings > Manage Subscription. If you can't find the option, ask in the chat.

## I can't find my subscription

- Check that you are logged in with the account that pays. You may have another Templated account under a different email.
- Only the team owner can see and manage the subscription.
- If you still can't find it, ask in the chat with the email used for the payment.
