Payment with PayPal
To use your DeepScan service with your GitHub private repositories or beyond your free trial period, you need to start a paid subscription for the team. Here's an overview of how billing works and some of your options.
Note: This article only applies to plans purchased with PayPal in DeepScan. For more information on plans purchased from our GitHub Marketplace, see Billing in GitHub Marketplace. If you've purchased a plan using a credit card, see Payment with credit card.
Choosing a billing plan
- Monthly
- Yearly—You get a discount by committing to a year of service.
When you change the billing cycle, it will take affect on your next billing date.
Switching between monthly and yearly billing
If you decide to switch to yearly billing from a monthly billing plan, or vice versa, your team will be moved to your new billing cycle on your next billing date.
To switch the billing cycle:
- In the team's settings page, click Manage Billing Cycle under Change Plan on the Plan tab.
- A new popup is displayed.
- Select Monthly or Yearly to switch to.
- Review your new payment details, then click Switch Cycle.
- For PayPal, we will require you to agree to the payment on your next billing date.
- If you agree, you can see the pending changes like:
- Action
- Details: Billing amount
- Effective Date: A day after your next billing date
Automatic payments
We charge your payment method each billing cycle (month or year) for the service you will use the next billing cycle.
You're charged when purchased and on the same day of each following month or year for the total number of seats in your team.
Also, we prorate for the number of days left in your billing cycle when you purchase more seats.
Billing currency
The US dollar is the only currency we support.
Seats
Team seats are subscriptions assigned to members in the team. Team owners and members each fill a seat, so you can add seats accordingly.
Adding seats to your team
If you'd like additional users to have access to your team, you can purchase more seats anytime.
When you purchase more seats, you are immediately charged a prorated amount for additional seats for the number of days left in your billing cycle. Additional seats are available to use immediately.
From your next billing date, you are charged the full amount. See billing examples.
To add seats to your team:
- In the team's settings page, click Manage Seats under Change Plan on the Plan tab to purchase more seats.
- A new popup is displayed.
- Type the number of total seats in New Total Seats. You can see the number of additional seats in Change.
- Click Add Seat.
Removing paid seats from your team
If you're not using all of the paid seats, you want to downgrade to pay for fewer seats.
We do not directly support reducing seats now. To reduce seats, simply cancel/downgrade your current subscription and subscribe newly with seats you want.
