Credits
Billing
The Exorde API uses monthly or yearly subscriptions. Periods are billed in advance. For example, if you subscribe to a monthly plan on the 15th of the month, you will be billed immediately for the current month and then on the 15th of each month.
The billing cycle is defined when you subscribe to an API plan. You can change it any time, it will be effective on the next billing date.
You can change your payment method and retrieving invoices in the developer portal.
Exorde doesn't store any credit card information. All payments are processed by Stripe.
API plan subscription update
You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription any time from the developer portal:
Upgrade: the new subscription will be effective immediately and current period will be billed prorata. For example, if you upgrade from a monthly starter plan to a monthly pro plan, you will be billed the difference between the two plans for the remaining days of the current month.
infoIf you keep the same billing cycle, the billing date doesn't change. If you change the billing cycle, the billing date will be the day of the upgrade.
Downgrade or cancel: it will be effective on the next billing date. For example, if you downgrade from a monthly pro plan to a monthly starter plan, the downgrade will be effective on the next billing date.
Change the billing cycle (monthly or yearly): it will be effective on the next billing date.
