Billing

SecondTouch uses a subscription model for access.

Billing controls access to SecondTouch subscriptions and paid features.

SecondTouch uses Stripe as the billing provider, so billing management happens in a secure external portal.


Overview

Your subscription status directly controls product access.

If a subscription is active, access continues normally. If billing is incomplete or a subscription lapses, access may be limited until the billing state is resolved.

Billing actions are intentionally separated from core product workflows to keep payment processing secure and compliant.


Where to Find Billing

You can access billing from inside the product:

  1. Open account or workspace settings
  2. Select the billing or subscription section
  3. Click the billing portal button/link

You will be redirected outside the app to the secure Stripe customer portal for billing changes.


Billing Provider

SecondTouch uses Stripe as its billing provider.

Stripe handles:

  • Payments
  • Subscriptions
  • Invoices
  • Payment methods

Sensitive payment data is processed and stored by Stripe, not directly inside the SecondTouch app.


Capabilities

From billing flows, users can typically:

  • Start or update a subscription
  • View billing history and invoices
  • Update payment methods
  • Manage renewal or cancellation settings
  • Review current subscription status

Most of these actions occur in the Stripe customer portal after redirection.


Subscription Management

Subscription status determines access level:

  • Active/trialing: normal access
  • Past due/incomplete/canceled: access may be restricted based on status

When managing a subscription:

  • Changes are made in Stripe
  • Status updates are reflected back in SecondTouch
  • Access behavior follows the latest subscription state

If status and access appear inconsistent, contact SecondTouch support.


Support and Responsibility

Responsibility is split between SecondTouch and Stripe.

Contact SecondTouch for:

  • Access issues
  • Subscription state mismatch inside the app
  • Product behavior related to billing status
  • Unclear ownership of an issue

Stripe handles:

  • Payment processing outcomes
  • Card declines and bank/payment method errors
  • Billing portal-specific technical issues
  • Invoice/payment transaction processing details

If you are unsure who owns the issue, contact SecondTouch first and we will route you appropriately.


Usage Notes

  • It is expected to leave the app when opening billing management
  • Billing changes are completed in Stripe, then reflected in SecondTouch
  • Some payment failures cannot be resolved inside the product UI because processing is handled by Stripe
  • Keep payment methods current to prevent avoidable access interruptions
  • Review invoice and subscription status regularly if uninterrupted access is important
