How to Change Your PhotoBiz Billing Cycle

Overview

PhotoBiz allows you to choose between monthly and annual billing for your membership. Your selected billing cycle applies to your Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades associated with your account.

When you change your billing cycle, PhotoBiz automatically calculates your monthly and annual membership costs and shows you when your new billing cycle will begin. Your new billing cycle takes effect on your next scheduled billing date, not when you submit the change.

This guide walks you through reviewing your membership, comparing your billing options, and switching between monthly and annual billing.

Monthly and Annual Billing

The PhotoBiz Website Package is available with two billing options:

  • Monthly Billing: $29 per month, billed monthly.

  • Annual Billing: $300 per year, billed in one annual payment.

Choosing annual billing saves you $48 per year on your Website Package compared to making 12 monthly payments of $29.

With annual billing, your full annual membership amount is charged in one payment. This includes your Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades. These services share the same annual renewal date.

Your total membership cost may be higher than the base Website Package price depending on the additional products and services active on your account.

Monthly and Annual Billing

The base PhotoBiz Website Package is $29 per month or $300 per year.

Annual billing saves $48 per year on the base Website Package compared with 12 monthly payments. Additional products and services on your account are included when PhotoBiz calculates your personalized monthly and annual membership totals.

Changing your billing cycle does not remove, add, or change the products and services active on your account. It changes how often those recurring membership charges are billed.

How Your PhotoBiz Billing Cycle Works

Your selected billing cycle applies to the recurring products and services included with your PhotoBiz membership, not just your Website Package.

The Membership area of MY ACCOUNT displays your active products and services, current total charge, next billing date, and billing cycle.

Depending on your account, recurring membership charges may include:

  • Website Package

  • Domain

  • Mailbox

  • Original Files

  • Additional File Storage

  • Additional Marketing Emails

  • Additional Ask PhotoBiz AI Requests

  • Additional Form Submissions

  • Additional Stock Tracking SKUs

  • Brand Free

  • Recurring Pro Services, including SEO Go, SEO Go Plus, Social Media Marketing, Social Media Marketing Plus, and Dedicated Account Manager

PhotoBiz automatically calculates your available monthly and annual membership pricing based on the recurring products and services currently active on your account.

You do not need to change the billing cycle for each product or service individually.

Important Billing Information

Before changing your PhotoBiz billing cycle, keep the following in mind:

  • Changes take effect on your next scheduled billing date. Your current billing cycle remains in place until that date.

  • There is no immediate charge. Submitting a billing cycle change does not process a payment.

  • Monthly to Annual: Your full annual membership amount will be automatically charged in one payment on your next scheduled billing date. This includes the $300 annual Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades at their annual rates.

  • Annual to Monthly: Your first monthly membership payment will be automatically charged on your next scheduled billing date, which is your current annual renewal date. This includes the $29 monthly Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades at their monthly rates.

  • Automatic Billing: Both monthly and annual memberships renew automatically using the credit card saved on your PhotoBiz account. Monthly memberships are charged each month, while annual memberships are charged once per year.

  • Check Your Next Billing Date: You can always find Your Next Billing Date directly beneath Total Charge in the MEMBERSHIP section of MY ACCOUNT.

  • No Prorated Refunds: PhotoBiz does not provide refunds or prorated adjustments for unused annual membership time when switching to monthly billing.

Changing your billing cycle does not cancel your PhotoBiz membership or remove your active products and services. Your selected billing cycle determines how frequently your recurring membership charges are processed.

For additional information about annual memberships, billing, and refunds, review Section 26 of the PhotoBiz Terms of Use

Annual Renewal Notifications

If your PhotoBiz membership is billed annually, PhotoBiz sends an email reminder 30 days before your scheduled annual renewal date.

This notification is sent to the email address you use to log in to your PhotoBiz account. It gives you an opportunity to review your membership and make any necessary changes before your annual renewal.

Your annual renewal includes your Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades.

You can review your upcoming renewal date at any time by logging in to your PhotoBiz account and checking Your Next Billing Date directly beneath Total Charge in the MEMBERSHIP section of MY ACCOUNT.

Helpful Tip: Keep your account login email address current so you receive your annual renewal reminder and other important billing notifications. If you need to change your email address, follow our guide on How to Update Your Login Email and Admin Email in PhotoBiz

STEP ONE

Log in to your PhotoBiz account and click MY ACCOUNT in the left-side menu.

The MEMBERSHIP section opens and displays the products and services associated with your account.

STEP TWO

Review the products and services listed in your MEMBERSHIP section.

Under Total Charge, you'll see your current recurring membership amount and Your Next Billing Date directly beneath it. This is the date your next membership payment is scheduled.

Scroll down to YOUR BILLING CYCLE to see your current monthly or annual billing selection.

Click change to view the available billing options for your membership.

STEP THREE

Review the monthly and annual billing options calculated for your account. The amounts shown reflect the recurring products and services currently active on your membership.

The monthly option shows the amount you will be charged each month.

The annual option displays your annual rate as a monthly equivalent multiplied by 12 months. This is for pricing comparison only. Annual memberships are billed in one payment, not 12 separate monthly payments.

Select the billing cycle you want to use.

Before confirming your change, PhotoBiz displays the date your new billing cycle will begin and confirms that the payment will be processed using the credit card saved on your account.

Review your selected billing cycle, payment amount, and effective date before continuing.

FINAL STEP

Enter your PhotoBiz account password in the confirmation field, then click SUBMIT.

Your billing cycle change is now saved and will take effect on your next scheduled billing date.

You will not be charged when you submit the change. On your next scheduled billing date, PhotoBiz will automatically charge the credit card saved on your account for your selected monthly or annual membership amount, including any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades.

You can always review Your Next Billing Date under MY ACCOUNT → MEMBERSHIP, directly beneath Total Charge.

What Happens After You Change Your Billing Cycle?

Your new billing cycle begins on your next scheduled billing date, not when you submit the change.

You can always find your upcoming billing date under MY ACCOUNT → MEMBERSHIP, directly beneath Total Charge.

Switching from Monthly to Annual Billing

If you switch from monthly to annual billing, your full annual membership amount will be charged on your next scheduled billing date.

This includes the $300 annual Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades at their annual rates.

Example: If your next monthly billing date is November 15 and you switch to annual billing on November 5, your full annual membership payment will be processed on November 15.

Your next annual renewal will be November 15 of the following year.

Switching from Annual to Monthly Billing

If you switch from annual to monthly billing, your existing annual membership remains active until your next scheduled billing date.

On that date, your first monthly membership payment will be charged. This includes the $29 monthly Website Package and any active recurring add-ons or premium upgrades at their monthly rates.

Example: If your annual membership renews on December 15 and you switch to monthly billing on November 5, your first monthly payment will be processed on December 15.

Your next monthly payment will then be scheduled for January 15.

Important: Changing your billing cycle does not result in an immediate charge, cancel your membership, or remove your active products and services.

What Happens to Your Add-Ons?

Your recurring add-ons and premium upgrades follow the same billing cycle as your PhotoBiz Website Package.

For example, if your account includes Original Files, Additional File Storage, a Mailbox, or another recurring service, PhotoBiz includes those charges when calculating your monthly and annual billing options.

When you switch to annual billing, your recurring add-ons and premium upgrades are also billed annually. These services renew on the same date as your Website Package.

If you switch from annual to monthly billing, those recurring services will also change to monthly billing on your next scheduled billing date.

You do not need to update each add-on separately. PhotoBiz automatically includes your active recurring products and services in your membership billing cycle.

Why Is My Billing Total Different From the Website Package Price?

The advertised Website Package price of $29 per month or $300 per year covers the base Website Package.

Your actual membership total may be higher if you have additional recurring products or services.

Before confirming a billing cycle change, PhotoBiz calculates your personalized monthly and annual pricing based on the products and services currently active on your account.

To review your charges, navigate to MY ACCOUNT → MEMBERSHIP and check your active products, services, and Total Charge.
