Upgrade from Starter to Pro
One click. Prorated for the remainder of the cycle. Unlocks staff, CRM, deposits, and SMS eligibility immediately.
Upgrades are instant. Stripe prorates the difference between what you have paid on Starter and what Pro costs for the rest of the cycle.
Steps
- Open Dashboard → Billing.
- Click Upgrade to Pro.
- Confirm.
You are on Pro before the modal closes. New capabilities light up:
- Add a second staff member.
- The Customers tab starts building a CRM row per booking going forward.
- Deposits become available on Profile → Deposits (verify Stripe first).
- The SMS add-on becomes purchasable from Billing.
- Extra locations, and white-label, become available.
Nothing is re-entered
Your services, hours, staff, bookings and page are untouched. An upgrade changes what the dashboard will let you do, not what is in it, and no booking is disturbed at the moment it happens.
Proration example
If you paid $9 on the 1st and upgrade on the 16th (halfway through a 30-day cycle), Stripe credits you $4.50 for the unused Starter half and charges $9.50 to cover the Pro half. Next month you are billed the full $19 on the 1st.
Two things that still need doing
Upgrading makes deposits available; it does not switch them on. That needs Stripe verification and a mode chosen on Profile → Deposits — see Turn on deposits.
The SMS add-on is a separate purchase on top of Pro, not part of it.
Can I switch from monthly to yearly?
Yearly is ten times monthly — two months free. You can switch interval on the same screen if your subscription is the plan on its own; Stripe cannot change one that also carries the SMS add-on or extra locations, so email hello@booked.co and we will do it for you.
