Manage your subscription

If your community offers paid tiers, you can upgrade, switch plans, redeem a coupon, or cancel at any time. Payments are handled securely by Stripe, using the community owner's connected Stripe account.

Upgrade or change your plan

  1. Click your avatar and choose Billing (or Membership).
  2. Review the available tiers and their patron perks.
  3. Select a plan and click Upgrade (or Change plan).
  4. Enter payment details on the secure Stripe checkout and confirm.

Your new tier — and any perks it unlocks — takes effect immediately.

Redeem a coupon

  1. Start the upgrade or checkout flow.
  2. Enter your coupon code in the field provided.
  3. The discount applies before you confirm payment.

Cancel or update payment

  1. Go to Billing.
  2. Click Manage subscription to update your card or Cancel.
  3. After cancelling, you keep access until the end of your current billing period, then return to the free tier.

Bonfire takes a 0% platform fee on memberships. The price you see is set by the community owner; Stripe processes the payment and its standard processing fees apply.

FAQ

Where do I find my invoices? In BillingManage subscription, the Stripe customer portal lists your receipts and payment history.

What happens to perks if I downgrade? Perks tied to your old tier are removed; perks for your new tier apply right away.

Is my payment secure? Yes — checkout and card details are handled by Stripe, not stored in the community.

Can I get a refund? Refund eligibility is set by the community owner. Contact an admin, who can process it through their Stripe account.
