You can pay with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or a supported bank payment. Payments are processed through Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew on the same calendar date each month or year until you cancel. The price on the Pricing page doesn't include local tax, which is added at checkout based on your billing location. An invoice is generated for every payment, and your payment methods and billing details are managed in Manage Account → Subscription.
How do I purchase a subscription?
Go to the Pricing page, choose a plan, and complete Stripe Checkout. The plan activates instantly once payment is confirmed.
Method | Examples |
|---|---|
Credit and debit cards | Visa, Mastercard, Amex, JCB |
Apple Pay | Available on supported devices |
Bank payments | Where supported by Stripe in your region |
When am I charged?
On the date of your first purchase, and then automatically on the same calendar date each month or year until you cancel. Example: if you subscribed on the 14th, you are charged on the 14th of each month.
To check your next billing date, open Manage Account → Subscription: the renewal date is shown at the top, under your plan name. For details on renewal timing, see When does my subscription renew?
Why is the price at checkout higher than on the Pricing page?
The Pricing page shows the base price before tax. Companies selling digital services are required to collect sales tax or VAT in certain regions, so at checkout Stripe adds the applicable local tax based on your billing location: it appears as a separate line item before you confirm, and rates vary by country, region, and state.
This isn't a fee set by Higgsfield, and Higgsfield doesn't keep it: the amount is remitted to local tax authorities as required by law. If your billing address has changed, update it in Manage Account → Subscription → Billing information. On business plans (Team, Scale, and Enterprise), adding a valid tax ID can change how tax is applied: see How do I add a VAT or tax ID to my invoices?
Why was I charged an unexpected or different amount?
The most common reasons:
What happened | Why |
|---|---|
Auto-renewal | Subscriptions charge automatically on the same date each month or year |
Prorated upgrade | Upgrading mid-cycle generates an immediate charge for the difference |
Credit Pack or Auto-Refill | These appear as separate charges from your subscription |
Tax | Local tax is added at checkout and varies by billing location |
Promo expiry | If you subscribed at a promotional price, the standard rate applies from the next cycle. See How do promo prices work? |
Second account | If two accounts are registered to the same card, both are charged |
To check what you were charged for, open Manage Account → Subscription → Upcoming Invoice → All invoices. Each line item shows the date, amount, and type of charge.
For accidental or duplicate charges, see How do I get a refund for an accidental charge?
How do I add, change, or remove my payment method?
Click your avatar and select Manage Account.
Open Subscription and scroll to the Payment methods section.
Select Add new payment method.
Adding a new card sets it as the default for future charges.
How do I update my billing address?
On the same Manage Account → Subscription page, find the Billing information section right under Payment methods and select Manage. The details you enter there appear on your invoices.
Invoices and tax IDs
