Subscribe From Balance

Subscription from balance lets you use SteadyEdge available balance to activate or renew a paid plan without creating a new crypto invoice.

What this is

This article explains how balance-based subscription works and why bonus balance may not be enough.

When to use it

Use this article if:

- you have available balance and want to subscribe

- the subscribe action says funds are insufficient

- you are choosing monthly versus yearly billing

Before you start

Important current behavior:

- balance subscription applies to paid plans, not Free

- the charge uses available balance

- bonus balance must be transferred first before it helps this flow

- yearly checkout currently charges 10 monthly prices at once

- switching from an active paid plan can apply prorated credit in the backend

Step by step

Step 1: Check available balance

Open Profile -> Billing and confirm the available balance is enough for the target plan and period.

Step 2: Choose plan and period

Use the pricing view to choose Basic or Pro , then choose monthly or yearly.

Step 3: Subscribe from balance

Use the balance subscription action. If the request succeeds, the subscription becomes active and receives a new expiry date.

Step 4: Resolve insufficient funds

If available balance is too low:

- top up through NOWPayments

- transfer eligible bonus balance to available balance

- choose a cheaper period if available

Common mistakes

- expecting bonus balance to be debited directly

- trying to subscribe to Free

- forgetting that yearly billing charges the yearly amount immediately

- treating a failed subscription charge as an exchange-account issue
