Subscription & Billing

📢 - INFO

StolWRX bills through Stripe. All invoices, receipts, and payment methods live in the Stripe-hosted billing portal. StolWRX itself never stores your card details.

Opening the Portal

For paid subscribers, use Tools menu → Manage subscription. StolWRX opens a short-lived Stripe portal session in a new tab.

For free-plan users, the same button is labelled Upgrade and sends you to the checkout flow instead.

What You Can Do in the Portal

From the Stripe portal you can:

  • See your current plan and the next billing date.
  • Update your payment method (card, wallet).
  • Download invoices and receipts.
  • Cancel your subscription. Access to paid features persists until the end of the current billing period; after that your account drops back to the free tier.

After Canceling

Canceling does not delete any of your flights, waypoints, or photos — they stay in the cloud. But on the free plan, you can no longer:

  • Upload new flights.
  • Create new waypoints.
  • Upload track photos.
  • Generate new share links.

Existing share links continue to work as long as the underlying flight is still in your account.

To resume, re-subscribe from the Upgrade button. Your old data is immediately available again.

Changing Plans

StolWRX currently has a single paid tier. If more tiers are added, you'll be able to switch between them from the Stripe portal (charges prorated automatically).

Billing Portal Return

After you close the Stripe portal, StolWRX's /billing-portal-return page redirects you back to the main analysis view. If you made a plan change, the app re-fetches your subscription state so the UI immediately reflects paid/free.

Troubleshooting

  • Paid but still seeing the free banner? Refresh the page. The checkout-success webhook usually updates your account within a few seconds; occasionally a page refresh is needed to pick up the new state.
  • Portal button greyed out? It means StolWRX doesn't have a Stripe customer ID on file for your account. That's normal if you've never subscribed. Click Upgrade to start a checkout instead.
