To sign up for a plan:

That’s it, the subscription is now set up so that you can use LiveChat without worrying about payment.

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan, add more seats, and make other subscription-related changes whenever needed.

Change the number of seats

To change the number of seats, follow these steps:

1. Log in to LiveChat and go to Billing > Your subscription.
2. Change the number of agent seats.
3. Click on Update subscription.

Change your LiveChat plan

You may want to change your plan to get access to different sets of LiveChat features. To do it, follow these steps:

1. Log in to LiveChat and go to Billing > Your subscription.
2. Choose a plan by clicking on it.
3. Click on Upgrade/Downgrade subscription.

Change your billing cycle

2. Choose if you want to be billed monthly or annually.
3. Click on Update subscription to finish.

What is flexible pricing?

With flexible pricing, the number of agent seats increases automatically to cover your current usage. The feature lets you grow without friction and makes your job easier by automating the previously manual process.

We’ll notify you about each added seat and send you your new rates via email.

The next time an agent can’t access LiveChat because you hit your max concurrent logins, a seat will be added automatically to let the agent in.

Turn on flexible pricing

To enable flexible pricing:

1. Log in to LiveChat and go to Billing > Your subscription.
2. Tick the box next to Flexible pricing to turn it on.
3. Click on Update subscription.

What happens when you downgrade or upgrade your subscription

When you upgrade in the middle of your billing cycle, your account will adjust immediately to the new plan. You’ll only pay the difference between your old and new plan based on the number of days left in your billing cycle.

Example:

Let’s say you’ve subscribed for 12 months on Team plan with 4 seats.

9 months later, you need to add 2 seats. The price for one seat is $39, and there are 3 months left in your billing cycle, so the total price will be 3 months*(2 seats*$39). You will also keep the 15% discount for the annual subscription.

For downgrades, you’ll be credited with the difference in price between your old and new plan, also based on the number of days left in your billing cycle. The credit will lessen the total amount for your next LiveChat invoice.

Cancel your subscription

To cancel your subscription, contact our support team by clicking on the chat widget in the bottom right corner. They are available 24/7, so you can cancel your subscription any time you want.
