Atlas Subscription & Billing

Atlas makes it easy to subscribe to our vacation rental management platform with flexible payment options and automatic account setup. Whether you're coming from an email campaign or exploring our platform directly, you can get started with Atlas in just a few clicks.

What it does

The Atlas billing system handles your subscription management with three pricing tiers: monthly per-listing plans, annual discounted plans, and revenue-sharing options. You can start your subscription before even creating an account, and the system automatically links your payment to your profile once you sign up.

Getting started

Option 1: Direct checkout from email campaigns

If you received a personalized revenue report email:

1. Click the upgrade link in your email - this takes you directly to a customized checkout page
2. Choose your plan based on your portfolio size:
   • Monthly billing: Pay per listing each month
   • Annual billing: Save with yearly payment
   • Revenue share: Performance-based pricing
3. Complete payment using our secure checkout process
4. Create your account - you'll be redirected to sign up after payment
5. Your subscription activates automatically once your account is created

How it works

Automatic account linking

When you pay before creating an account, Atlas remembers your payment and automatically connects it to your profile when you sign up. You'll never lose access to what you've paid for, and there's no need to re-enter payment information.

Flexible plan changes

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan anytime from your billing settings. Changes take effect at your next billing cycle, so you're never charged twice for the same period.

Secure payment processing

All payments are handled through enterprise-grade payment processing with bank-level security. Your payment information is never stored directly on Atlas servers.

Tips & best practices

Choose annual billing for savings: Annual plans offer significant discounts compared to monthly billing, typically saving 15-20% over the year.

Monitor your listing count: Your bill adjusts based on active listings. Remove unused properties from Atlas to optimize your costs.

Set up billing alerts: Enable email notifications for upcoming payments and billing changes in your account settings.

Keep payment info current: Update your payment method before it expires to avoid service interruptions.

Review usage regularly: Check your billing dashboard monthly to ensure your plan matches your current needs.

Common questions

What happens if I pay before creating an account? No problem! Atlas automatically links your payment to your account when you sign up. You'll have immediate access to all features you've paid for.

Can I change my plan anytime? Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your subscription at any time. Changes take effect at your next billing cycle, so you won't be double-charged.

What if my payment fails? Atlas will automatically retry failed payments and send you email notifications. You'll have several days to update your payment method before any service interruption occurs.
