This FAQ covers common questions about **membership subscriptions** and **credit pack purchases**, including payment methods, upgrades/downgrades, billing, receipts, and refunds. If you don’t see your issue here, please contact our Support team at [PixAI Feedback](https://pixai.art/feedback). [About Membership](https://pixai.art/articles/en/about-membership/) [View Plans](https://pixai.art/membership/plans/?utm_source=blog) --- ## Payment Methods & Where Charges Come From **Q1. Which payment methods are supported on the Web?** **A.Visa, Mastercard, PayPay** **and Google Pay** are supported on the PixAI website. **Q2. Which payment methods are supported in the mobile app?** **A.** Payments are handled by the **App Store (iOS)** or **Google Play (Android)**. The store bills you using the payment method set on your Apple or Google account. **Q3. Why do Web and App prices differ?** **A.** App store platform fees can make **App prices slightly higher** than Web prices. ## Managing Where You Subscribed (Web vs App) **Q4. How do I know where to manage my plan?** **A.** Manage your plan on the **same platform** where you originally subscribed: - Subscribed on **Web** → Manage on **Web**. Go to your Profile Page. - Navigate to Membership& Credits Section. - Click “Manage Auto-Renewal” ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/05c0b795-582f-4aac-aa5b-9b035cb49f3a) - Subscribed in **App (iOS/Android)** → Manage in the **App/Store**. Open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). - Go to Subscriptions. **Q5. I can’t click Upgrade/Downgrade—why?** **A.** The most common reason is a **platform mismatch** (e.g., trying to change an App Store subscription on the Web). Switch to the correct platform and try again. If it still fails, contact Support. ## Web Subscriptions (Monthly & Annual) **Q6. How do Web monthly upgrades work?** **A.** You can upgrade anytime. When you upgrade: - You’re **charged the new monthly plan immediately**. - **New plan credits** are **issued right away**. - Your **billing date resets** to the **upgrade date** (future renewals occur on that calendar day). **Example:** Start *Start* on **Jan ****1** → upgrade to *Plus* on **Jan 15** → charged *Plus* on Jan 15, *Plus* credits issued immediately, next renewal every **15th**. **Q7. How do Web annual upgrades work?** **A.** You can upgrade anytime. You **pay only the difference** between plans, **new plan credits** are **issued immediately**, and your **billing date resets** to the upgrade date. Also, we now supports renewal before your plan expires. Additionally, we now support **early renewal**. You can pay to renew your current annual plan before it expires, and the additional year will be added to the end of your existing subscription period. **Q8. Can I downgrade a Web plan (monthly or annual)?** **A.No.** Downgrades are not supported on the Web. To move to a lower plan, **cancel auto-renew now** and **re-subscribe** to the lower plan after your current term ends. **Q9. Can I change my credit card while Web auto-renew is active?** **A.Not directly.** Please **cancel** your current Web subscription first. After it ends, **re-subscribe** with the new card. ## App Subscriptions (iOS / Android) **Q10. On iOS, how do upgrades work?** **A**: PixAI subscription upgrades take effect immediately on iOS. - **Upgrading to a Higher-Tier Plan**: The App Store will refund the unused portion of your original plan and charge the new higher-tier plan fee immediately. Your membership will switch immediately, the renewal date will be updated to your upgrade date, and the new plan’s benefits will be granted right away. *Note: For upgrades, Apple generally uses prorated calculations.* **Switching between monthly and annual plans within the same tier** (both Monthly → Annual and Annual → Monthly) ： - **Effective Time**: Your current plan will remain valid until the next billing date, at which point it will switch to the new billing cycle. - **Billing**: No refund will be issued. You will be charged when the new plan takes effect. - **Renewal Date**: The renewal date will be updated to the date the new plan takes effect, and subsequent renewals will follow the new plan’s cycle. - **Membership Benefits**: The new plan’s benefits will be granted when it takes effect. **Q11. On iOS, how do downgrades work?** **A**: Your current PixAI subscription will remain valid until the next billing date. The new lower-tier plan will take effect after that. - **Billing**: No refund will be issued. You will be charged when the new plan takes effect. - **Renewal Date**: The renewal date will be updated to the date the new plan takes effect, and subsequent renewals will follow the new plan’s cycle. - **Membership Benefits**: The new plan’s benefits will be granted when it takes effect. **Q12. On Android (Google Play), how do upgrades work?** **A.** Upgrades take effect **immediately**. Google Play automatically **prorates** and adjusts the charges (including **Monthly → Annual**). **Q13. On Android, how do downgrades work?** **A.** Downgrades take effect **immediately**. Google Play **prorates** based on the remaining time/price difference. ## Start, Renewal & Benefits Timing **Q14. When are my monthly membership benefits (credits) issued?** **A.** On the **same calendar day** each month as your **subscription start date**. **Example:** If you started on the **25th**, new monthly credits are issued each **25th**. **Q15. I didn’t receive my monthly credits—what should I do?** **A.** First, confirm the **issue date** (see Q14). If they still haven’t appeared, **contact Support** and include your **PixAI Profile link**, **plan**, and **recent billing date**; we’ll verify and issue any missing credits. ## Cancelation & Auto-Renew **Q16. How do I cancel auto-renew on the Web?** 1. Go to your **Profile** → **Membership & Credits**. 2. Click **Manage Auto-Renew** and follow the instructions to cancel. **Q17. How do I cancel auto-renew in the App (iOS/Android)?** - **iOS:** Open **App Store** → **Subscriptions** → select **PixAI** → **Cancel**. - **Android:** Open **Google Play** → **Payments & subscriptions** → **Subscriptions** → select **PixAI** → **Cancel**. **Q18. After I cancel, can I still use membership features?** **A.Yes.** You keep all features **until the end** of your already-paid term. After that, your account reverts to **Free**, and no further charges occur. ## Billing, Receipts & Invoices **Q19. Do you provide invoices for Web purchases?** **A.No.** Our Web payment provider **does not support invoicing**. **Q20. How do I get receipts for App purchases?** **A.** The **App Store** or **Google Play** automatically emails receipts to the **email address** on your Apple/Google account. **Q21. Can I change my billing date?** **A.** On the Web, your **billing date resets to the upgrade date** when you upgrade (see Q6/Q7). Otherwise, billing dates are determined by your **original start date** or **store rules** (App). ## Credit Packs **Q22. What types of credit packs are available?** - **Special Offer Packs:** **One-time $****1**** offer:** Can be purchased **once per account**. - **Monthly special:** Can be purchased **once per calendar month**. - **Standard Packs:****No purchase limit**; buy anytime. **Note:** Discounted packs during promotions are **Standard Packs**. **Special Offer Packs do not go on sale.** **Q23. I purchased a credit pack but didn’t receive credits. What should I do?** 1. Check your **receipt** or **order history** to confirm payment succeeded. 2. If payment succeeded and credits are missing, contact Support and provide: **Order screenshot**, and 3. **Order number** (iOS usually starts with **“M”**; Google Play usually starts with **“GPA.”**). We’ll verify and **re-issue credits** if needed. **Q24. Do credits expire?** **A.No.** Credits you purchase or receive **do not expire**. ## Errors & Troubleshooting Payments **Q25. My payment failed—what can I try?** 1. **Re-enter card details** (number, expiry, CVC) and try again. 2. **Contact your card issuer** to check for limits/holds. 3. **Try a different card** (credit or debit). 4. If you see a **high-risk** or security-related error, it may be triggered by our payment provider’s protection rules. Switching to **another bank card** or purchasing **through the App** often resolves it. **Q26. I upgraded but don’t see new credits. What now?** **A.** Credits are usually **issued immediately** on upgrade. If they’re missing, sign out/in and check again. Still not there? **[Contact Support](https://pixai.art/feedback)** with your **account email**, **upgrade time**, and **plan names** (from → to). ## Account, Transferability & Plan Changes **Q27.
