Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your membership within the “Account” tab.

The amount you have paid for your current membership will be prorated based on what you’ve paid already and how long you have had that membership. So, the sooner you upgrade or downgrade, the more you’ll be credited.

For example, if a member has already paid for a month of their membership, and halfway through the month decides to upgrade. Our system automatically figures out and charges the prorated amount the member will need to pay for the rest of the month at the new level.

So, prorations are calculated for subscriptions with different periods (monthly to annually).

Proration can also be calculated between different payment methods. For example, say a member first subscribed via PayPal. But they want to upgrade via Stripe. Not a problem.

Yes. Other members can see your account name and basic profile.

You can modify or cancel your account from within your site Account Profile. If you cancel your account prior to the expiration of the payment period, you will retain access to the site until the end of the payment period.

No refunds are issued for cancelled accounts.
