Manage your subscription: seats, plans, cards, and invoices

Everything about paying for Current lives on one page. Click your initials in the top-right corner and choose Billing, or open Settings › Users and roles › Billing. It's there for workspace admins only, so nobody else on your team ever sees plans, invoices, or card details. The page shows your plan, the seat meter, your payment method, billing details, and every invoice, and everything on it can be changed without opening a ticket.

The plan card shows which plan you're on and your own per-user rate. For Round 1 founding workspaces that's the founding rate ($50/user/mo Monthly, or $45/user/mo Annual billed yearly, or the fixed price in your billing currency), locked for as long as your subscription stays active, plus your renewal date and the exact amount of your next renewal. Below it sits the seat meter: "Using 6 of 8 seats." The first number is your active team members; the second is your allocation, the pool you've bought. Partner portal viewers never appear in either number, and disabling a user lowers the first number immediately.

If you've scheduled a change, the page says so out loud: a "5 at renewal" badge next to the meter for a pending seat decrease, or a banner for a pending plan switch. An "Undo scheduled change" button sits right beside it, so nothing sneaks up on you at renewal.

If your workspace joined in Round 1, it carries a Founding Partner badge. On a computer or tablet you'll see a small amber seal after the workspace name at the top of every page (hover it to read "Founding Partner, Round 1"). The Billing page has a Founding Partner card below Plan & seats, and Settings › General has a line that says when you joined. The Billing card shows the rate you pay per user, unless your subscription is on a custom price, and the list price new workspaces pay once Round 1 closes, both in your billing currency. Your rate stays locked while your subscription is active and in good standing: while a payment is overdue or the workspace is paused, the card leaves the rate off, and once a subscription has ended the card no longer shows. If Current bills your workspace directly, the card shows your status without the prices. The badge is a record of your Round 1 status, so there's nothing to turn on or change.

1. 1
   Open Adjust seats

   On the plan card, click Adjust seats and step the number up to where you need it.
2. 2
   Read the preview

   Before anything is charged, the dialog shows the exact prorated amount: "$135.00 charged now, covering the new seats through your renewal date, so everything still renews together." The amount covers only the time left in your current term; from renewal on, the new seats just bill with the rest.
3. 3
   Confirm

   The button says exactly what it does. "Charge $135.00 & add seats." The charge lands immediately on both plans, you get a clean invoice for it, and the seats are usable the same second. If the card declines, nothing changes at all, no seats, no invoice.

You don't have to come to the Billing page to buy one more seat. Users & roles carries its own seat meter under the Members heading ("Using 3 of 3 seats", with any seats reserved by pending invites and any decrease scheduled for renewal), and the three actions that can run into a full pool offer the seat right where you are: inviting someone, enabling a disabled member, and giving a read-only viewer a staff role.

1. 1
   Try the action

   Invite the person, click Enable member, or change the role as usual. If every seat is taken, the dialog switches to a seat step instead of stopping you.
2. 2
   Read the exact amount

   The step shows the same figures the Billing page would: "$23.15 charged now, covering the new seat through your renewal date. From then on 4 seats renew together at $50/user/mo." The approve button stays off until that number is in; if it can't be priced, the step says a prorated amount is charged now and lets you go ahead. During a trial the seat is free and the step says so.
3. 3
   Approve once

   One click, "Approve $23.15 & send invite" (or & enable member, or & change role), buys the seat and finishes what you started. If the card declines, nothing changes: no seat, no invoice, and the decline reason is shown. If the seat is bought but the follow-through fails for another reason, the step says so and the seat stays yours to use from Users & roles.

Step the number down in the same Adjust seats dialog. A decrease never happens mid-term. You keep the use of every seat you paid for through your renewal date, then the next bill covers the smaller number. The dialog spells this out: "No refunds mid-term. You keep all 8 seats until renewal, then renew at 5 seats." Two floors apply: you can't go below 3 seats (the minimum, always), and you can't go below your active user count, disable or remove people first if you need to.

The Payment method panel shows the card on file (brand, last four digits, expiry). Click Update card, enter the new one, and it becomes the default for renewals and seat additions. Card details are entered directly with Stripe. They never touch Current's servers. And if a payment is overdue when you save a new card, Current retries the open payment right away, so a fixed card means restored access without another click.

The Billing details panel controls what prints on your invoices: the billing email (point it at accounting@ so invoices and receipts skip your inbox entirely), your company name and address, and an optional invoice memo or PO number. Set these once and every invoice from then on carries them, no more forwarding PDFs to bookkeeping with a note attached.

Every invoice is listed on the page with its date, amount, and status, paid, open, or one-time for the occasional custom-work charge. Each row has a PDF download and a link to view the invoice on Stripe's page. Your first invoice arrives when the trial converts; there's nothing before that. If you pay by card and earn free seats through Refer a peer, the credit shows on your invoice as its own line, and the Billing page shows a short summary of your referrals with a link to the full page. See "Refer a peer and earn free seats".

A receipt arrives every time money moves. When your subscription starts, when a trial turns into a plan, on every renewal, and whenever seats change mid-cycle. Each one shows the amount charged, the card it went to, the seats and the rate behind that number, the tax line, what renews next and when, and a link to the invoice PDF.

A seat change mid-cycle shows the prorated amount as its own line, with the days it covers, and states the full charge that follows on the next invoice. So the smaller number today and the larger number next month are both on the page, and neither is a surprise.

The other billing emails are the ones you would expect: a warning three days before a trial ends, a notice if a payment fails and what happens next, and a confirmation if you turn auto-renew off. They go to the billing email on your Billing details panel and to every tenant admin, so pointing the billing email at accounting@ keeps them out of your inbox.

For what happens when a charge doesn't go through, see "When a payment fails: the exact timeline". Thinking about leaving? "Cancelling your subscription (and what happens after)" walks through every step.
