Billing and Subscriptions

The Billing page is where you manage the scale of your private repository. In WPCloset, your subscription tier directly determines your organization’s “surface area”—specifically how many sites, companies, and assets you can govern simultaneously.

Your Current Plan

At the top of the billing screen, you can see the status of your active subscription. WPCloset provides a transparent view of your current standing, including:

• Plan Name: The tier your organization is currently on (e.g., Hobbyist, Professional, Agency, or Enterprise).
• Status: Whether your plan is active, in a trial period, or scheduled for cancellation.
• Renews On: The date of your next scheduled payment.

Understanding Plan Limits

WPCloset is designed to scale with you. Each plan provides specific “Governance Limits” that ensure you have the right amount of infrastructure for your needs.

Governance Metrics

The billing page tracks your real-time usage against your plan’s maximum capacity:

• Organization Sites: The total number of WordPress installations you can authorize.
• Companies: The number of organizational containers available to group your projects.
• Plugins & Themes: The total volume of unique private assets your vault can host.
• Environments: The number of distribution channels (Staging, Production, etc.) you can define per company.
• Team Members: The number of collaborator seats available for your organization.

Managing Your Subscription

WPCloset utilizes a secure integration with Stripe to handle your payment data and invoicing.

Upgrading or Changing Plans

If you find that your action buttons on the Dashboard have disappeared due to reaching capacity, you can upgrade your plan directly from the billing screen.

• Immediate Scaling: Upgrading to a higher tier typically increases your resource limits immediately, allowing you to resume adding sites or assets without delay.
• Plan Comparison: You can view the features of each tier side-by-side to decide which level of oversight is right for your current portfolio size.

The Payment Portal

For security and privacy, WPCloset does not store your credit card information. By clicking Manage Billing, you will be redirected to the secure Stripe Customer Portal. From there, you can:

• Update your credit card or payment method.
• View and download past invoices for your records.
• Manage your billing address and contact information.

Cancellations and Resuming

• Canceling: If you choose to cancel your subscription, your organization will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. During this “Grace Period,” your sites will continue to receive updates.
• Resuming: If you change your mind during the grace period, you can resume your plan with a single click to maintain uninterrupted service for your fleet of sites.

Best Practices

• Capacity Audits: Review your usage metrics monthly. If you are consistently at 90% of your site or asset limits, consider upgrading before a major project launch to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
• Role-Based Access: Remember that the Billing Manager role is specifically designed for team members who need to manage these settings but should not have access to your proprietary code or site configurations.
• Environment Planning: For Agency and Enterprise users, ensure your chosen plan supports the number of environments required to mirror your internal QA processes.
