Activate a subscription after the free trial

Every new SourceLoop account gets a 7-day free trial of the Professional plan, no card asked. When the trial ends, tracking pauses until you pick a plan and check out. This guide walks through the activation in three steps.

The whole flow takes around two minutes. Polar handles the payment, so the card form is theirs, not ours.

Before you start

You’ll need:

• A SourceLoop account that’s been on a trial (you can activate before or after the trial ends, either works)
• A payment method (credit / debit card, or whatever Polar supports in your region)
• A rough idea of which plan you want, see Pricing and plans for the breakdown

Step 1: Open the Billing page

1. Sign in to SourceLoop.
2. Click Settings in the bottom of the left sidebar.

3. Inside Settings, click Billing under the Organization group.

The page shows your current subscription state (during a trial, you’ll see a banner that the trial is active and when it ends) and three plan cards: Essential, Professional, Business.

Step 2: Pick a plan and billing cycle

1. Toggle Monthly billing or Annual billing at the top of the plan cards. Annual saves 25%.
2. Scan the three plan cards. For a recap of what’s included on each, see Pricing and plans.
3. Click Get Started on the plan you want.

You’re redirected to Polar with the plan and billing cycle pre-filled.

Step 3: Check out on Polar

Polar opens in a new page with your plan and total pre-filled.

1. Enter your billing email (defaults to your SourceLoop email; you can change it).
2. Enter your card details.
3. For business customers in the EU / UK, enter your VAT number to reverse-charge tax.
4. Click Subscribe.

Polar processes the payment, emails you a receipt, and redirects you back to SourceLoop. Your subscription is Active the moment you land back in the app, no waiting, no manual confirmation step.

If you were past your trial, tracking resumes immediately. New page views, conversions, and integrations all start firing again.

What you can do next

• Manage your subscription (update card, see invoices, cancel) — click Manage Subscription on the Billing page. It takes you to the Polar customer portal. See Update your payment method for details.
• Switch plans later — Upgrade or Downgrade buttons on the Billing page change the plan in one click. See Change your plan.
• Bring in your team — Settings -> Team. See Invite team members.

If anything went wrong at checkout (declined card, region-restriction, etc.), email [email protected] with the exact error message from Polar and we’ll help sort it.
