Managing Your Subscription
Accessing the Billing Portal
- Log in to the KyberGate Admin Dashboard
- Navigate to Settings → Billing
- Click Manage Subscription to open the Stripe Customer Portal
- From the Stripe portal, you can:
- View your current plan and billing cycle
- Update your payment method (credit card, ACH)
- Download invoices and receipts
- View payment history
- Cancel your subscription
Updating Payment Information
- In the Stripe portal, click Payment Methods
- Click Add Payment Method to add a new card or bank account
- Set the new method as default
- Remove outdated payment methods if needed
Downloading Invoices
- In the Stripe portal, click Billing History
- Each invoice has a Download link for PDF format
- Invoices include line-item details showing device count and per-device pricing
- Use these for purchase orders and district accounting
Upgrading Your Plan
- Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription
- Click Update Plan
- Select your new plan tier (e.g., Basic → Pro)
- The upgrade takes effect immediately
- You'll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your current billing cycle
- New features (analytics, SSO, etc.) become available within minutes
Downgrading Your Plan
- Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription
- Click Update Plan
- Select the lower-tier plan
- The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle
- You retain access to higher-tier features until the cycle ends
- Features not included in the new plan will be disabled automatically
Adding or Removing Devices
- Your subscription is based on active device count
- When you enroll a new device, it is automatically added to your subscription
- When you remove a device from the dashboard, your next invoice reflects the reduced count
- Prorated credits are applied for devices removed mid-cycle
Tips
- Budget planning — Use the Pro plan for most districts; it covers SSO and analytics which are essential for CIPA compliance reporting
- Purchase orders — Contact support@kybergate.com to arrange PO-based billing for districts that cannot pay by credit card
- Volume discounts — Districts with 500+ devices should contact sales for custom Enterprise pricing
- Annual billing — All plans are billed annually; there is no monthly option at this time
- Tax exemption — Provide your tax-exempt certificate to support@kybergate.com to remove tax from future invoices
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Payment failed | Update your payment method in the Stripe portal and retry |
| Invoice not received | Check your spam folder; invoices are sent from Stripe directly |
| Device count seems wrong | Go to Devices → Active and verify the count matches your subscription |
| Cannot access billing portal | Ensure you have Admin role — only admins can manage billing |
| Need a refund | Contact support@kybergate.com within 30 days of payment |
