Change Your Subscription Plan

Change Your Subscription Plan

The My Account section allows you to manage the administration of your Hike account.

This also includes editing your account subscription, which is always paid in advance.

You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription plan* at any time, and your new subscription fee will adjust to take into account any amount already paid. For instance, if you are halfway through the month, and change your plan, your new plan will be reduced by the half-month fee you have already paid or will be credited for the next payment.

MY ACCOUNT

As you will see, there are significant changes that anyone with Admin access can make to your Hike account. In prior versions of Hike, we used to have a SuperAdmin role, but this was restrictive for businesses with multiple directors, so we have given more control to our clients.

We strongly suggest you take this into consideration when deciding which staff will have Cashier, Manager, and Admin access.

To change your account, go to Store setup > My Account, and look for the Account Overview section.

*SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND REGISTERS

*Note all subscription plans include software for one register only. Charges for additional registers will be paid monthly/yearly in advance, with the option to add or remove additional registers at any time. There is no refund if you cancel the additional register midway through the paid subscription period.

Register fees are charged every month in advance, from the date the register was first activated (not the subscription plan).

Register fees are charged to the same credit card as created for the Subscription plan.

Refer to the Outlets & Registers tab to add or edit additional registers.
