Billing Overview

BillingOverviewNew

The Billing Overview page gives you a snapshot of your current active subscription products and add-ons for your community. Your "Subscription Product" in this context is your chosen community type, Web or Full Suite. The Honeycommb Web Subscription includes a web-only community, while the Full Suite product includes the addition of iOS and Android mobile apps.

If you have purchased any additional add-ons, those will be displayed under Active Subscription Add-Ons. Click the Manage link next to each add-on if you would like to remove the add-on.

Explore Upgrades & Add-Ons - click this button to explore all of Honeycommb's add-on options for your community, including the option to Upgrade to Honeycommb Full Suite, add custom domains, hire a Community Coach to assist you with your community, among other options.

Subscription Billing - this section displays your billing status, billing cycle, current billing period, your next payment due date, your saved Payment Method, and your total billing amount.

Renew Automatically - enable or disable the automatic renewal of your billing cycle by clicking the toggle button.

View billing details - this link will open up a side-panel that will display your Billing Cycle, Billing Period, your active subscriptions, and your total billing payment for each billing cycle.

Update default card - this link opens up the Payment Methods page. The Payment Methods page will display your saved payment methods (saved credit/debit cards), giving you the option to delete a saved payment method and the option to add a new payment method.

Overage Charges

Overage charges can occur when a community's size increases past their tier's limit of users. The moment you go over your user count and pass into the next tier of users, you will receive a charge that will be prorated for the rest of the billing cycle. The new prorated charge will be at the new user-tier's rate, charged for the amount that will cover the remaining days in your current billing cycle.

If you lose users and drop from a larger user tier to a smaller user tier, we will prorate your account and give your account a credit at the prorated amount.
