Why did you move payment into the app?
Moving payment into AcreConnect® allows users to manage their own subscriptions, providing immediate access to paid features upon completion of payment.
What’s different about the new in-app payment experience?
AcreConnect® now uses Stripe to securely manage subscriptions and payments. To get started, users simply create a free AcreConnect® account and log in. From there, they can choose the subscription that fits their needs. When ready to purchase, they’ll be directed to a secure checkout powered by Stripe.
The new in-app experience gives customers instant access to their subscription and puts them in control, allowing them to manage seats, update subscriptions, and make changes without needing to contact support. It’s all about making things faster, easier, and more flexible for our users.
Do I need to do anything to continue using AcreConnect®?
No. Your current subscription will allow you to access AcreConnect® just as you were before. If you purchased AcreConnect® prior to 9/10/25, at your renewal date you will need to select a new subscription plan and add your billing information during checkout to continue to use AcreConnect®. If you do not choose a new subscription or add your billing information, your account will automatically transition to a free account.
Why did the price change?
We know margins are tight and that every dollar counts for your business. That’s why we’ve made the decision to lower our price. This is a reflection of our commitment to making AcreConnect® accessible to more operators. We’re here to support you with software that helps you manage your season without added financial strain.
I bought my subscription on the (Shopify) website store. What do I do now?
Nothing. When it comes time to renew, you will be asked to renew your subscription through AcreConnect® and update your billing information.
I bought my subscription on the (Duda) website store. What do I do now?
Nothing. When it comes time to renew you will be asked to renew your subscription through AcreConnect® and update your billing information.
I am paying monthly. Why does my subscription say yearly?
All AcreConnect® plans purchased before 9/10/25 were structured as yearly subscriptions, even if you are paying in monthly installments. This means your subscription is active for a full 12 months, with payments spread out month by month.
During our transition to a new payment system, this setup allowed us to avoid disrupting your service. Starting 9/10/25, we offer a true month-to-month option for more flexibility. Any subscriptions purchased before that date will continue with monthly billing until your yearly renewal date. To maintain your access after your renewal date, you will need to login to your account, select a new subscription, add payment information and complete checkout.
Will my existing billing information be transferred automatically?
For security purposes we will not be transferring any billing information. You will be asked to update your billing information before your renewal date.
Transition and Set-up

Do I need to re-enter my payment information in the app?
Yes, payment information will need to be provided during your renewal period. To find your renewal date, check your subscription expiration under My Account--> Subscription.
Why can’t you use the payment info I already entered on the website or Shopify?
Credit card security laws prevent the transfer of credit card information to prevent fraud.
Will my subscription be interrupted if I don’t update my payment info right away?
No. You can update your payment information anytime through your renewal date. You will only lose access if you don’t update your payment information by the renewal date.
How do I know if my payment info was successfully transferred or saved?
No payment information was transferred or saved from your paid subscription. Due to credit card security laws, you will need to manually enter new payment information.
Is there a deadline to update my payment method in the app?
Yes. Payment information must be updated prior to the renewal date of your current subscription.

Under My Account-->Subscription select “Manage Subscription”, you will be transferred to the Stripe subscription manager, where you can update any of your subscription details.
Has the pricing changed with the move to in-app payments?
Yes. The price has decreased. We know margins are tight and that every dollar counts for your business. That’s why we’ve made the decision to lower our price.

Are there any additional fees for paying through the app?
No.
Will I be charged immediately when I update my payment method?
It depends on your subscription package. If you're on a current subscription package, updating your payment method will not result in an immediate charge. Your new payment details will be used at your next renewal. However, if you're selecting a new package during checkout, you will be charged right away when you confirm your subscription and enter your payment information.
For customers who purchased before 9/10/25, the renewal process is not automatic. You’ll need to log into your AcreConnect® account, choose a new subscription, enter your payment details, and complete checkout to maintain access to paid features.
Subscription and renewal
Subscription and renewal
Will my subscription automatically renew through the app?
If you purchased your subscription through AcreConnect® on or after 9/10/25, it will automatically renew each year as long as your payment information is up to date.
For users who subscribed before 9/10/25 via our website, renewal works a bit differently. On or before your renewal date, you’ll need to log into your AcreConnect® account, select the subscription that fits your needs, enter your payment details, and complete checkout manually. If no action is taken, your account will automatically move to a free plan, and access to paid features will be removed.
Can I switch plans mid-season?
Yes. You will need to cancel your existing subscription prior to selecting a new one.
Can I add new pilots to my account during the season?
Yes. Through the “Manage Subscription” button, you can adjust the total number of seats at any time.
Can I have both yearly and monthly subscriptions on my account?
No. You need to choose one or the other.
How do I see my current subscription?
Under My Account --> Subscription
How do I add new pilots (users) to my organization?
After you have purchased additional seats, you will be able to invite new users to your organization through the My Account --> Users --> Invitations. For step-by-step instructions, read this article.
How do I remove pilots (users) from my organization?
Users cannot be removed but rather deactivated from the org. This will remove any login access but also allows that user to be easily reactivated in the future. This can be done through My Account--> Users --> Edit icon next to their name.
