Managing Your Subscription

Subscription management (changing payment method, cancelling auto-renewal, viewing billing history, downloading invoices) is handled through the Stripe Customer Portal. You access it from your Chatbox account's Purchase History page — each record has its own entry to the portal scoped to that license.

Access the Stripe Customer Portal

1. Go to Purchase History in your Chatbox account
2. Find the subscription record you want to manage
3. Click the invoice/receipt icon on the right — this opens the Stripe Customer Portal for that license
4. Alternatively, click the "Manage Subscription" link in your purchase confirmation email

Available Actions

In the Stripe Customer Portal, you can:

• View current subscription status
• Change payment method
• Cancel auto-renewal
• Download past invoices and receipts

Note: Plan upgrade/downgrade is not available inside the Stripe Portal. To switch plans, purchase the new plan from the Chatbox pricing page.

Cancel Auto-Renewal

Cancel via Stripe Portal

1. Go to Purchase History and open the Stripe Customer Portal from the subscription record
2. Find your current subscription
3. Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Auto-Renewal"
4. Confirm cancellation

What Happens After Cancellation?

• You can still use the service for the current billing cycle
• Quota is retained until expiration date
• After expiration, you won't be able to use Chatbox AI service
• You can resubscribe at any time
