Sixty seconds, no downtime. Upgrade is a Stripe Checkout flow. New cap applies the moment payment completes. No service interruption, no waiting for the next billing cycle.

Upgrading is the cleanest billing operation in nouz — Stripe handles the financial math, you click two buttons. The new plan's caps apply immediately, and your next monthly invoice bills at the new rate.

01 How to upgrade

  1. 1
    Open Settings → Subscription

    Your current plan is shown at the top.

  2. 2
    Click Change plan

    A side panel opens with all three plans.

  3. 3
    Pick the higher plan

    Growth or Pro.

  4. 4
    Confirm checkout

    Stripe processes the prorated charge.

  5. 5
    New cap is active

    Page reloads with the new plan's caps in effect.

02 How proration works

Stripe credits you for the unused portion of your current plan and charges you the prorated cost of the new one. If you're halfway through the month, you pay roughly half the difference between the two plans. The next full billing cycle bills at the new plan's normal monthly rate.

03 What changes immediately

  • New location cap — you can add up to the new plan's limit immediately.
  • New revenue cap — the warn banner / block adjusts to the new ceiling on your next page load.
  • Invoice — Stripe emails you a prorated invoice for the upgrade.

04 When you don't need to upgrade yet

The warn banner at 80% is a heads-up, not a forcing function. If you're sitting at 80-90% of your revenue cap in October but the year-end is in sight, you can ride it out without upgrading. The 100% block is the real trigger to act — and even then, upgrading takes 60 seconds, so you don't need to pre-empt unless you want to.

Don't skip past 80% without thinking. Most owners who hit the 100% block on a busy Saturday wish they'd upgraded calmly during the 80% warn window. The friction is identical; the urgency is different.
