Here are the workflows:

1. Manage Client Billing Plan

Upgrade/Downgrade Plan

Adapt Client Billing to your agency's evolving needs. Explore the Manage Plan section, where you can view your current plan and seamlessly upgrade or downgrade your plan. You can easily choose the plan that aligns with your agency's growth and requirements.

Important

  • Please note that you can only downgrade your plan if the client limit of your current plan matches or is equal to your intended plan's limit or falls below it.
