I would like to upgrade to the pro but Pay pal is not working and will not let use a credit card ????
Hmm, does PayPal give you an error?
how do I cancel my auto renewal?
You can manage your subscription through PayPal.
Would like to check - say if I've signed up for a Pro Account for a month subscription and upload my 3D model. After a month my subscription ends. Will my 3D model still stored in Sketchfab database? Please advice soonest.
@joey27
1) Your subscription renews automatically (this is noted on the plans page, as well as the during the payment process). You can cancel/suspend it through PayPal.
2) Your models will remain, regardless of subscription.

If I use my pro model embed on my site , they will work the same even though I unsubscribed after a month or a year ?
@FelipeVargas - Yes, your embeds will still work.
However, if you had a Business account and then downgraded, you would no longer be able to hide UI elements in the embed. See https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/articles/203497057
I very much want to upgrade to Pro but I don't use or ever plan to use PayPal.
Why can't I pay with my credit card directly?
@bez - We want to look into other payment methods in the future.
Where would I find the key to activate my pro account? I didn't receive a key in any emails.
@Ikeybro - Looks like you've been upgraded to Student Pro successfully?
Hey @james, paypal does not seem to work for me from within The system asks me to connect a card but i already have. Any clue? Thanks :)
@craft3d That's strange. Could you try re-connecting the same card? Or log out of PayPal and log back in again?
Hello James, I bought a pro account for my design agency, where can I find the payement bill for the accounting of my company? Thanks a lot !
Hello,
You should have received a receipt from PayPal. If you need an official invoice, let me know.
huh - I do. What i received from Paypal is more likely a "credit card ticket", my accountant will surely want an invoice from the company which sold the licence (meaning you). Sorry for that, I wish I wouldn't have to boar people with that ^^
No worries! I'll follow up via email.
Hi,
I invited a friend, but neither him or me did receive PRO accounts. Is getting PRO by inviting not a thing anymore or does it take a while?
Hi @albertsarchitektenbda
Could you please give me his username so I can take a look?
Thanks!
Hi
I invited a friend but neither of us got PRO account, her name is ElenaT.
Thanks!
Hi Mestna_obcina_Ljubljana,
Sorry about that, I just upgraded both of you.
Hi James,
This is his account: https://sketchfab.com/allesklar
Thanks for your help
Thanks, I just upgraded you. Enjoy!
Thank you very much James
Hey James,
Has any other payment option been established other than PayPal? I saw your post from Feb 2016 saying that SketchFab was looking into it at that time. I am establishing a Biz account and I do not think we have a company PayPal account (and will likely not create one).
Thanks,
Kevin
Hey Kevin,
Sorry for the long silence on that. We haven't implemented anything yet, but it is actually on the short-term roadmap now! I'll be sure to follow up here with any news.
James
Thanks James!
Is there way to pay by company check? I do want to upgrade our account, but I am afraid that PayPal will be a show stopper?
Regards,
Kevin
Kevin,
I'm going to put you in touch with one of my colleagues via email to see what he can do for you in the meantime.
James

Can't pay thou I have money on my account. I have been in contact with paypal and they say that they the problem must be with you somehow.
