How your 14-day trial converts to a paid plan

Your VeloCMS trial lasts 14 days. A valid card is required at signup but you are not charged until day 15. If you cancel before day 15, no charge is made — ever.

What happens at day 15

On day 15, Stripe automatically charges your card for the first month (or year, if you chose an annual plan). You'll receive an invoice email from Stripe. If the charge succeeds, your subscription becomes active and continues monthly or annually until you cancel. If the charge fails, you'll receive a payment-failure email with a link to update your card. A 3D Secure verification prompt may appear for EU/UK bank cards — complete it within 24 hours to avoid service interruption.

Tracking how many trial days remain

The admin dashboard shows a countdown banner in the top-right: 'X days left in your trial'. Click it to open Admin → Billing where you can see the exact trial end date, your current plan, and the amount that will be charged on conversion.

Cancelling before trial ends

Go to Admin → Billing → Cancel subscription. Confirm the cancellation. Your account moves to a cancelled-trial state immediately — the countdown stops and no charge is made on day 15. Your blog stays accessible in read-only mode for 7 days after cancellation so you can export content. After 7 days the blog is suspended.

Changing your plan during the trial

You can switch plans anytime during the trial — the first charge on day 15 uses your new plan's price. Switching from Pro to Business during the trial costs the Business price on day 15, not Pro. No proration applies during the trial period.
