Manage your Jetpack billing and payments

You can manage your Jetpack purchases, payment methods, and billing from your WordPress.com account. If you experience problems with any of the information below, please contact support for assistance.

Note: This page includes information on billing for Jetpack plans purchased via WordPress.com or Jetpack.com only. For billing information on plans purchased through Jetpack Manage (formerly Pro Dashboard), please refer to the Jetpack Manage: Billing/Payment FAQs page.

Refunds

If you’re not satisfied with your Jetpack plan, our refund policy is that we will issue a full refund in these timeframes, no questions asked:

• Yearly Plans: eligible for a full refund if requested within 14 days of purchase. We do not provide prorated refunds for plans outside the 14 day refund timeframe.
• Monthly Plans: are eligible for a full refund of the current month’s charges within 7 days of purchase. 

If your plan falls outside our refund timeframes, you may still cancel your plan, but you will not be eligible for a refund. 

Request a refund

If you request a refund for your Jetpack plan, we will cancel your plan immediately, and you won’t be able to use any of the paid features of that plan any longer.

Within the refund period, you can request a refund by: 

1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases. You should see a list of all of your active purchases.
2. Find the plan that you would like to refund, and click on it. This will take you to a page for that plan.
3. At the bottom of the page, click on Cancel Subscription and Refund.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the refund process.
5. You should see a message if your cancellation was successful, and you will receive a confirmation email containing your cancellation and refund information.

Payment method and refund wait times

Your refund will be sent to the same payment method you used for your purchase. If the payment method used to purchase your Jetpack plan is no longer available, your financial institution will be able to tell you how and when you will receive your refund.

After processing, refunds usually take about ten days to appear on your statement. For credit card refunds, it could take up to 1 to 2 billing cycles for the refund to show up.

International refunds can take even longer to reach you. Your financial institution will be able to tell you when to expect the refund and how it will be listed on your statement.

Upgrade your plan

With some plans, you have the option to upgrade.

1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases and click on the plan you’re interested in upgrading.
2. If an upgrade is available, you will see the option to Upgrade plan.
3. Click there and follow the upgrade steps.

Downgrade your plan

Cancel your plan

Cancelling your plan will result in two possible outcomes: 

• Cancelling within the refund period: If you cancel your plan within the refund period, your purchase will be removed from your site immediately and a refund will be issued. If you want to continue to use your plan until the plan expiration date, you should cancel your plan after the refund period has passed instead.
• Cancelling after the refund period: If you cancel your plan after the refund period, you can continue to use your plan. When the plan expiration date is reached, the plan will be automatically removed from your site.

If you still wish to cancel your Jetpack plan, you can do so by:

1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases. You should see a list of all of your active purchases.
2. Find the plan that you would like to refund, and click on it. This will take you to a page for that plan.
3. At the bottom of the page, click Cancel [PLAN NAME].
4. Follow the prompts to complete the cancellation process.
5. You should see a message if your cancellation was successful, and you will receive a confirmation email containing your cancellation information.

Reactivate a cancelled subscription

If you cancelled your subscription within the refund period and a refund was issued, you can’t reactivate the subscription. You will need to purchase a new subscription.

If you cancelled your subscription after the refund period, and the plan has not yet expired, you can reactivate the subscription. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases and click Re-activate subscription. This will turn on auto-renewal and your subscription will renew automatically on the renewal date.

Cancellation Email

When your plan is cancelled (and refunded if eligible), you should receive an email with information about the cancellation. If you do not receive the cancellation confirmation email, please do the following: 

1. Make sure you’re checking the right inbox. The email will be sent to the address listed in your Account Settings.
2. Check your email’s spam folder.
3. Add help@wordpress.com to your contact list to allow our emails.
4. If you still don’t see the email, please contact support for assistance.

Automatic renewals

By default, Jetpack plans are set to automatically renew to ensure there’s no disruption in service or loss of features. Automatic renewal ensures that everything is taken care of in advance and allows time to resolve any issues with payment.

• If you purchased a Jetpack plan during a promotional period, used a coupon code, or received a discount, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription when the plan renews next. 
• Renewal occurs on the expiration date for both yearly and monthly plans. 

Stop automatic renewals

You can deactivating automatic renewal after the refund period has passed.

Turn off auto-renewal on a plan, and therefore cancel future payments, with these steps:

1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases
2. Select the plan you want to disable
3. Under “Subscription Renewal”, click the ON link in the “Auto-renew is ON” text, and confirm that the text gets updated to “Auto-renew is OFF”

Value-added tax or Goods and Services Tax (VAT/GST)

We charge on purchases and renewals per the tax rules in certain jurisdictions. The tax will be displayed on checkout as an independent line item. You can also find the tax charge on your billing receipt.

VAT/GST registered businesses may not be required to pay tax at checkout and can enter a valid VAT/GST ID to avoid being charged tax on their purchases and renewals. You are not required to add a VAT/GST ID to purchase or renew a subscription; you will be charged accordingly.

EU-based users can check the VAT Information Exchange System(VIES) FAQ, which answers common questions. Users based in other locals should check their locale’s specific consumption-tax rules.

Transaction IDs

When you make a Jetpack purchase or upgrade, we generate a unique transaction ID to identify your transaction. It’s a string of text made up of both letters and numbers. We may request the transaction ID to look up your purchase, or to verify your account ownership.

Transaction IDs on your credit card statement

You can find the transaction ID for your Jetpack plan on your bank or credit card statement. It will be a 10-character code that looks something like this: *JETPACK A1B2C3D4E5.

If you purchased your Jetpack plan using PayPal, you can find the transaction ID by following these steps: 

1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. Click Activity.
