How do I upgrade my plan?

A plan upgrade is just a few clicks. We work with Stripe for secure payments.

How to do it

1. Open Settings (/dashboard/settings)
2. Scroll to the "Plan & billing" section
3. You see your current plan and available upgrades
4. Click the desired plan (Starter / Pro / Premium)
5. Choose monthly or yearly (yearly = 2 months saved)
6. Click "Upgrade" → you're redirected to Stripe Checkout
7. Fill in payment info
8. Confirm payment
9. You're redirected back to LACOP
10. Your new plan is immediately active ✨

Payment methods

Stripe accepts:

• Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
• Debit card
• SEPA direct debit (EU, sometimes takes 1-2 business days)
• Apple Pay / Google Pay
• Klarna (in some countries)
• Link (Stripe's 1-click payment)

What happens immediately?

• New plan is active — features available from now
• Invoice is generated — arrives by email
• Upgrade email from LACOP as confirmation

Upgrade from Free

• No issues, no data overwritten
• You get immediate access to all features of the new plan
• You pay pro-rated for the current month

Upgrade between paid plans (e.g. Starter → Pro)

• Pro-rating: Your remaining Starter credit is applied to Pro
• Immediately active — all Pro features unlocked
• Next invoice: Pro price

Yearly billing

Pros:

• 2 months saved (17% off)
• Set once, 1 year peace
• Good for long-term planning

Cons:

• Larger upfront payment
• No refund on early cancellation

Recommendation: Test monthly first — switch to yearly after 3-6 months if satisfied.

Billing address / VAT

At Stripe Checkout you can enter your billing address. For business customers:

• Enter VAT ID (then reverse charge — no VAT for EU business customers outside Austria)
• Private customers pay inclusive of VAT

Need an invoice

After upgrade:

• Invoice by email
• Or download in the Stripe Customer Portal (see find invoices)

Upgrade problems

• Card declined? — try another card or contact bank
• 3D Secure error? — reload browser and try again
• Stripe Checkout doesn't open? — disable popup blocker
• Not redirected after payment? — wait 1-2 minutes, reload page

Cancellation after upgrade

You can cancel anytime — monthly or at year's end. See cancel subscription.
