Find answers to common questions about your Starshipit subscription, invoices and payments.

<!-- faq:start -->

<!-- faq:question -->What is your refund policy?<!-- /faq:question -->

We don't offer refunds for monthly or annual subscriptions, or for unused account credits. If you have an Enterprise Plus agreement, check its specific terms.

<!-- faq:question -->What happens when I use more labels than my plan allows?<!-- /faq:question -->

Whether you can continue using labels above your included allowance depends on the overage terms for your subscription. If label overages are enabled for your subscription, you can keep creating labels above the allowance and the applicable overage charge is billed to that subscription. If your subscription does not include label overages, going over the limit can restrict Starshipit services, including label printing and live rate generation, and you may need to upgrade to continue.

Some subscriptions billed directly by Starshipit include label overages. Legacy and Shopify-billed subscriptions may have different terms, so do not assume they include overages. A plan name such as Starter, or a connection to Shopify, does not confirm eligibility. Check your current subscription details or contact Support to confirm whether overages apply and the applicable rate.

<!-- faq:question -->Can I change my plan?<!-- /faq:question -->

Yes. Follow [Change your pricing plan](/articles/206705123-change-your-pricing-plan) for the steps that apply to your billing arrangement. If you pay through Shopify, save your selection and authorise the change in Shopify.

<!-- faq:question -->I'm only going over my label limit this month. Do I still need to upgrade?<!-- /faq:question -->

Not necessarily. If label overages are enabled for your subscription, you can keep creating labels above the included monthly allowance and pay the applicable overage charge; an upgrade is not required just because of a temporary increase in label volume. If your subscription does not include label overages, going over the limit can restrict label printing and live rate generation, so you may need to upgrade to continue. Check your current subscription details or contact Support before assuming your plan includes overages.

<!-- faq:question -->When does billing rollover?<!-- /faq:question -->

Billing rolls over at 11:59 PM on the day of renewal in the UTC time zone.  
For example, if you're due for a renewal at **11:59 PM** on **July 13th UTC**, this would be **11:59 AM** on **July 14th New Zealand Time**.

<!-- faq:question -->Are there any discounts if I switch to an annual plan?<!-- /faq:question -->

Yes, you'll receive a discount compared to the monthly rate when you switch to an annual plan. Please visit our pricing page for further information on subscription pricing
