Introduction

Welcome to the Subscribe to CloudCannon guide!

This guide is for anyone setting up a paid CloudCannon Subscription for the first time. Whether you own an Organization and are setting up billing for your team, or you have been asked to manage the Subscription, we'll walk you through it step by step. No prior CloudCannon billing knowledge is assumed.

If you are already on a paid Subscription Plan and need to make a specific change, such as updating your card or switching Subscription Plans, please read our documentation on billing in CloudCannon.

This guide walks through subscribing on the Standard Plan and Team Plan. If your Organization needs the Enterprise Plan, its billing is arranged directly with the CloudCannon team, so contact our support team to set it up. It helps to include your Organization name and a rough idea of your team size and resource needs, so they can prepare the right plan.

In this guide, we'll cover how to:

• Choose a Subscription Plan for your Organization
• Add a payment method to activate your Subscription
• Set up Add-Ons to extend your Subscription Plan's resource limits
• Understand your billing summary and invoices

Before we begin, this guide assumes you already have:

• A CloudCannon account — If you do not have one yet, you can create an account.
• An Organization — An Organization is your team's workspace in CloudCannon, and every account starts with one. If you need another, you can create an Organization. Your Organization is where your Sites, Team Members, and Subscription live.
• Billing permissions — To manage billing, you need to be a member of the Owners or Billing Default Permission Groups, or a Custom Permission Group with billing permissions. If you created the Organization, you are already an Owner. Otherwise, ask an Owner to add you to a group that can manage billing.

In the first step of this guide, we'll cover what CloudCannon's Free Trial is, and choosing the right Subscription Plan for your Organization.
