Understanding your payments

For students · 2 min read

Your Payments page shows what you owe, what you've paid, and why.

Your Payments page

1
Open Payments to see your plan and balance Open →

The top of the page sums up where you stand. Below it, “Your plan” and “Where this balance came from” explain why, including anything “Paid outside the app”. Every past charge says what it was for.

2
Pay an open invoice by card Open →

When your coach sends an invoice, a “Pay now” button appears here. Payment goes straight to them through Stripe, and the row reads “Paid” once it clears.

3
See your month before it is billed Open →

On a monthly plan, each month comes as an invoice. The “Next bill” card on your Payments page shows the amount and date in advance, and you pay it with “Pay now” like any other invoice.

Saving a card

4
Save a card on file Open →

“Save a card” once; Stripe stores it, not VerbalGerbil, and “Remove” takes it off any time. Your coach can charge it only for completed lessons and for late cancellations or no-shows under their policy.

Only appears once your coach's payments are live.

5
Renew your package when it runs low Open →

“Renew for” shows the exact price; pressing it changes to “Confirm — charge” with the same amount, and “Cancel” backs out. Nothing is charged until you confirm.

Appears only with a saved card and a package running low.
