After a paid subscription is connected through Stripe Checkout, the Account page can open Stripe subscription management for payment methods, invoices, plan changes, and cancellation.
Payments and subscription billing are handled securely by Stripe. Story Audit Studio does not store your full card number or payment method details on its own servers.
After subscribing, go to Account and choose Manage subscription. That opens Stripe's secure billing portal where you can update payment methods, view invoices, and manage billing details.
Yes. Subscription cancellation is handled through the Stripe billing portal from your Account page. Your access may remain active through the paid billing period depending on the subscription status returned by Stripe.
Yes. Annual subscriptions are priced with two months free compared with paying monthly for twelve months.
A manually assigned tier gives app access, but it does not automatically create a Stripe billing record. Use the account billing area to connect Stripe billing once checkout is active for that tier.
