Managing Your Subscription
All billing management happens through the Stripe Customer Portal — a secure, familiar interface that handles everything.

Updating Your Payment Method
In the Stripe portal:
- Click Payment methods
- Add a new card or update the existing one

Your next invoice will use the updated payment method.
Viewing Invoices
All your invoices are available in the Stripe portal:

How Seat Changes Affect Billing
cStar automatically adjusts your billing when your team size changes:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Add team member | Prorated charge on next invoice |
| Remove team member | Credit applied to next invoice |
Stripe handles the math. You only pay for what you use.
Example
You're on a $45/month plan (3 seats). On day 15 of your billing cycle, you add a 4th team member.
- You'll be charged ~$7.50 for the remaining half-month
- Next month, you'll pay $60 (4 seats × $15)
Billing Date
Your billing date is the anniversary of when you first subscribed. It doesn't change when you add or remove team members.
