Billing & Payments

Set up how you pay for QuickBox Pro: pick Stripe or PayPal, choose your default payment method, and decide whether renewals run automatically or through manual invoices.

Supported payment providers

  • Stripe — save a card, set it as default, and eligible subscriptions renew automatically when due.
  • PayPal — link PayPal to renew with PayPal. If you prefer manual invoices, turn on PayPal Manual Payment Mode.
  • Manage payment methods anytime at /dashboard/billing/payment-method.

How billing works

  • Subscriptions renew on their billing cycle. If you have a saved default payment method, eligible subscriptions can auto-renew.
  • Depending on your settings, you may instead receive an invoice to pay manually (common when using PayPal Manual Payment Mode).
  • Credits reduce what you owe. If Auto-Apply Credits to Renewals is on, credits automatically lower Stripe invoices before charging your default method.
  • You can convert loyalty points to credits in the Rewards guide.

Payment Method & Auto-Renewal

  • Manage payment methods and choose your default at /dashboard/billing/payment-method.
  • Saving a valid method and setting it as default enables auto-renewal for eligible subscriptions, matching the expectations shown in the Billing UI.
  • Stripe is best for set-and-forget renewals, especially with Auto-Apply Credits to Renewals enabled.
  • PayPal can renew automatically, but if you enable manual payment mode, renewals will shift to invoices you pay manually.

Quick setup

  • Automatic renewals: Use Stripe as default, keep PayPal Manual Payment Mode OFF, and turn ON Auto-Apply Credits to Renewals for a set-and-forget flow.
  • Manual payments: Enable PayPal Manual Payment Mode to receive invoices and pay manually; you can still apply credits before paying.

PayPal

PayPal has an optional Manual Payment Mode toggle in Settings → Preferences. This preference is saved to your account and takes effect for future renewals.

  • Manual Payment Mode ON: Renewals generate invoices you pay manually; credits can be applied intentionally before you pay.
  • Manual Payment Mode OFF: Renewals can charge your saved PayPal agreement automatically when due.
  • Choose manual mode if you prefer paying each invoice yourself or want tighter control over when rewards/credits apply.

Auto-Apply Credits to Renewals

For a hands-off flow, convert points to credits in Rewards, keep PayPal Manual Payment Mode OFF, and turn on Auto-Apply Credits to Renewals in Settings → Preferences. Stripe will reduce the invoice with credits first, then charge the remaining balance to your default method.

Common questions

  • Where do I change my payment method? Go to /dashboard/billing/payment-method to add or switch the default provider.
  • Why am I seeing invoices instead of auto-renew? PayPal Manual Payment Mode may be ON, or no default payment method is saved. Check Preferences and Payment Method pages.
  • How do credits apply? Convert points to credits in Rewards. If Auto-Apply is ON, they automatically reduce Stripe invoices; with manual PayPal invoices, you can apply credits before paying.
