Manage active subscriptions

This article covers how members can manage active subscriptions for payments made to a club on Pitchero.

Quick links:

Overview

The Manage active subscriptions page allows a member to easily change bank card details associated with active subscription payments they are making to a club via their Pitchero account area.

This helps clubs to enable members to manage the bank card details for recurring subscriptions, reducing the loss of money for the club.

Please note:

No bank (card) details are passed or stored via the Pitchero system. The details are securely managed by the club's payment provider, Stripe.

A payment token is shown to the member in their Pitchero account area so that the member can view/manage the details of how they complete payments to the club.

View an active subscription

Step-by-step guide:

  • Login to your Pitchero account in a web browser
  • Click your profile image in the top right corner of the page
  • Click "Your Account" (if your account is associated with more than one club, click "Your Account" and then the club name)
  • Click "Payments" at the top of the page
  • Click "Active Subscriptions"
  • View a list of products purchased with an active subscription
  • Click on the product name to view the product and subscription details

Top tip:

An active subscription is a product that you are making (or are due to make) recurring payments to the club on Pitchero, e.g. a monthly membership payment.

If a member has no active subscriptions currently, the Active Subscriptions page will say "No subscription".

Update bank card details of an active subscription

Step-by-step guide:

  • Login to your Pitchero account in a web browser
  • Click your profile image in the top right corner of the page
  • Click "Your Account" (if your account is associated with more than one club, click "Your Account" and then the club name)
  • Click "Payments" at the top of the page
  • Click "Active Subscriptions"
  • Click on the product name
  • View the card details used as the current method of payment
  • Click "Change" on the right-hand side of the page
  • Click "Add new card" in the sidebar on the right-hand side of the page
  • Enter the new card details and click "Add card"

The new card details will be saved as a payment token on the system and as the primary method of payment for this product subscription only.

Top tip:

If a member wishes to set the newly added bank card as the primary method of payment when purchasing a new product, the member can manually update their details on the Manage Cards page. For more information, please see a link to the related help article.

Update bank account details of an active subscription

The option to update bank card details for an active subscription is available when completing payment by bank card (via Stripe) only.

There currently isn't an option to update bank account details when completing payments by Direct Debit (via GoCardless) on Pitchero.

Instead, the member would need to contact the payment provider, GoCardless, directly to change the bank account details. When contacting GoCardless, a member may wish to consider having the following information available so that GoCardless can locate and verify the customer account:

  • The email address associated with Pitchero and/or GoCardless
  • The name of the club that payments are being made to
  • The name of the product that payments are being made for
  • The amount of the last payment completed
  • The date of the last payment completed
  • The GoCardless payment reference number (located on the Active Subscriptions page) in the member's Pitchero account
  • The last 2 or 3 digits of the account number that payments are currently being made from

Please note:

If a member manually changes the bank account details with GoCardless, whilst future payments would be collected from the new bank account listed on GoCardless, the payment token would not be updated in the member's Pitchero account.

Cancel an active subscription

There isn't a way to cancel an active subscription that you have with a club in the Pitchero account area. Instead, the member should contact a Webmaster/official at the club directly regarding the matter.

The club can manually cancel a member's subscription following this guide.
