Billing and subscription

Payment failed and the read-only state

What happens when a card fails, when the organization turns read-only, and how long your data is kept.

  • Updated
  • For managers

Who can do this: Owners and admins resolve it; everyone sees the banner

A failed payment

  1. A Payment failed banner appears for owners and admins, and they get an email.
  2. Stripe retries the card automatically over about 14 days. Everything keeps working while it does.
  3. Update your card from Manage billing. When a retry succeeds, the banner disappears.

When the organization becomes read-only

If the subscription ends up unpaid or cancelled, or the free trial ends without a subscription, the organization turns read-only (locked).

What works while read-only
AreaBehaviour
Manager appEvery page can be read. Create and edit buttons are gone.
Still allowedBilling, removing team members, exporting your data and deleting the organization.
Investor portalStays readable: holdings, documents and distributions. New subscriptions are paused with a neutral message.
Payment remindersReminders for existing orders continue.
Statements and announcementsPaused until you subscribe.

How long your data is kept

  • Data is kept for 90 days from the day the organization is locked.
  • Owners and admins are warned 30, 7 and 1 days before the end.
  • At the end the organization is cancelled and scheduled for deletion.
  • Subscribing at any time before that unlocks everything at once and clears the deadline.

Important: Export your data from Settings, Data if you do not plan to continue. See Export your data.
