Licenses & Billing

    One subscription, multiple seats: the organization buys timelit Teams licenses and assigns them to members. Billing runs through Stripe; the organization owner pays, members just work.

    How it works

    1. Purchase seats. On Teams → Licenses, choose how many licenses you need and complete the Stripe checkout. The final price is always shown in the checkout before you pay.
    2. Assign them. Each seat covers one member. Assign and reassign seats on the Members tab as your team changes. Seats belong to the organization, not the person.
    3. Manage everything in the billing portal. Manage subscription opens the Stripe billing portal: change seat count, update the payment method, download invoices, or cancel.

    The Licenses overview shows

    • Your plan with price per seat and billing cycle
    • Seats in use (e.g. "7 / 10 seats in use")
    • Next renewal date, or trial end date while trialing
    • The list of licensed members currently covered

    Payment states you might see

    StateWhat it meansWhat to do
    Payment failed / past dueA charge didn't go through. Stripe retries automatically and service continues in the meantime.Update the payment method in the billing portal before retries run out, otherwise access stops.
    Cancels at period endThe subscription won't renew; access ends with the current period.Reactivate in the billing portal if that's not what you wanted.
    TrialingYour organization is in its free trial.Add a payment method before the trial ends for uninterrupted access.

    Good to know

    • Members see their coverage under Settings → Subscription as "managed by your organization". They never deal with billing themselves.
    • Removing a member frees their seat for someone else; it doesn't change what you pay until you reduce seats in the billing portal.
    • An organization with active subscriptions can't be deleted. Cancel them first.
