How to Pay for Your FormSpace Subscription: Methods and Payment Security

Learn about the available payment methods for your FormSpace subscription, guarantees of payment security, and convenient account management for landscape planning.

Paying for a FormSpace subscription is a fast and secure process that unlocks full access to all powerful landscape planning tools. We offer convenient and verified payment methods, ensuring the protection of your financial data and privacy.

Main Payment Methods for FormSpace Subscription

FormSpace is aimed at a global audience, which is why we support the most common international payment systems to make the payment process as simple and accessible as possible for every user. The primary payment method includes credit and debit cards from international payment systems such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. This ensures that most of our users can easily purchase a subscription using their familiar bank cards.

We are constantly working to expand the list of available payment methods, but currently, we focus on those that provide maximum reliability and security for transactions worldwide. All payments are processed through secure gateways, which eliminates direct contact between FormSpace and your full payment details.

Step-by-Step Payment Guide

The process of subscribing and paying in FormSpace is designed to be intuitive and fast:

  1. Choose a Plan: First, you need to select one of the available subscription plans that best suits your landscape planning needs. Each plan offers its own set of features and resource limits. Choosing an annual subscription typically allows you to save up to 20-30% compared to monthly payments.
  2. Proceed to Payment Page: After selecting a plan, you will be redirected to a secure payment page where you can enter your details.
  3. Enter Payment Information: Enter your credit or debit card details: card number, expiration date, and the three-digit security code (CVV/CVC). Ensure all information is entered correctly.
  4. Confirm and Activate: Review the entered information and confirm the payment. After a successful transaction, your subscription will be activated automatically within a few minutes, and you will gain access to all selected FormSpace features. This usually takes no more than 1-2 minutes.

Security of Your Payments at FormSpace

We prioritize the security of your financial data. FormSpace uses advanced technologies and security standards to protect every transaction:

  • SSL/TLS Encryption: All information transmitted between your browser and our servers, as well as between our servers and payment systems, is protected by SSL/TLS protocols. This creates an encrypted communication channel, preventing data interception.
  • PCI DSS Compliance: FormSpace adheres to strict Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements. This means we comply with a set of requirements developed by major payment systems to ensure the security of cardholder data.
  • Data Tokenization: Instead of storing your full card data, we use tokenization. This is the process of replacing sensitive data with unique identifiers (tokens) that have no value to malicious actors. Your full card details are never stored on our servers.
  • Collaboration with Trusted Partners: All payments are processed through verified and certified payment providers who specialize in secure online transactions.

Subscription Management: Renewal and Cancellation

FormSpace provides flexible options for managing your subscription:

  • Automatic Renewal: By default, most subscriptions are set to automatically renew at the end of the billing period (month or year). This ensures continuous access to the service without needing to manually renew your subscription each time.
  • Disabling Auto-Renewal: If you decide not to renew your subscription, you can disable automatic renewal at any time in your account settings. Access to features will be maintained until the end of the paid period.
  • Changing Your Plan: You can change your subscription plan to a higher or lower tier in the subscription management section. The cost will be recalculated proportionally, and the new plan will take effect immediately or from the next billing cycle, depending on the chosen terms.
  • Cancellation Terms: If you cancel your subscription, access to paid features will remain until the end of the current paid period. Details of the refund policy are available in the user agreement.

Choosing the Right FormSpace Subscription Plan

FormSpace offers several subscription plans, each designed for different needs and project scales. Choosing the right plan will allow you to use the platform most effectively:

  • Basic Plan: Ideal for those who are just starting with FormSpace and want to try out the basic planning features. It may include a limited number of projects or access to a basic object library.
  • Professional Plan: This plan is designed for users who require a full set of tools: an unlimited number of projects, access to all features of modules 1.x (zone and object planning), 2.1 (AI concept), and 3.1 (design by photo), as well as an extended 3D object library. It is ideal for detailed development of complex plots.
  • Business Plan: Geared towards landscape design professionals or companies that need additional capabilities, such as teamwork, priority support, or advanced export features.

When choosing a plan, it's important to assess how many projects you plan to create, how deeply you want to develop details, and which features are critical for you. Most users planning to develop plots ranging from 600 to 2000 square meters find the "Professional" plan to be the optimal solution.

Troubleshooting Potential Payment Issues

Sometimes difficulties may arise during payment, but most of them are easily resolved:

  • Check Card Details: Ensure that the card number, expiration date, and CVV/CVC code are entered correctly. Even one incorrect digit can lead to a decline.
  • Insufficient Funds: Check the balance on your card. If there are insufficient funds, the payment will not go through.
  • Bank Restrictions: Some banks may block online transactions or payments in certain regions for security reasons. Contact your bank for clarification and to unblock.
  • Internet Connection Error: Make sure your internet connection is stable. Try refreshing the page and repeating the attempt.
  • Contact Support: If you have tried all the above steps and the problem persists, contact FormSpace support. Provide as many details about the error as possible (error message, time of payment attempt) so we can help you as quickly as possible.

How to Plan Your Landscape with FormSpace After Subscribing

After successfully paying for your subscription, you gain full access to all FormSpace tools, significantly expanding your landscape planning capabilities. For example, with the "Professional" plan, you can use module 2.1 "AI Concept" to generate multiple landscape design options based on your preferences and uploaded photos. This allows you to quickly experiment with various styles and functional zones, such as relaxation areas, playgrounds, or vegetable gardens, receiving ready-made concepts in minutes. Artificial intelligence can suggest up to five unique layout options, saving you time and inspiring new ideas.

A subscription also unlocks access to advanced features of module 1.x "Zone and Object Planning," allowing you to create an unlimited number of projects and use an extensive library of 3D objects. You can meticulously design every corner of your plot, whether it's the placement of paths 1.2 meters wide for comfortable movement or barbecue areas of 10-15 m² for family gatherings. For inspiration, you can explore 10 ideas for family recreation on a plot without a pool or read 10 questions before landscaping your plot to make the most of FormSpace's capabilities after activating your subscription.

FAQ

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

FormSpace's refund policy is governed by the terms of the user agreement. Generally, refunds are possible within a specific short period after purchase if you have not used paid features. We recommend carefully reviewing our terms before making a payment.

What happens to my projects if I cancel my subscription?

If you cancel your subscription, your projects will remain in your account, but access to paid features used within them may be limited. You will be able to view your old projects, but editing or creating new ones using advanced tools will require an active subscription. Your data will not be deleted immediately.

Can I change my payment method after subscribing?

Yes, you can change your payment method in your account settings under the subscription management section. This is convenient if your card is expiring or you want to use a different payment instrument for future renewals. Changes will take effect from the next billing period.

Does FormSpace store my bank card details?

FormSpace does not store your full bank card details on its servers. We use tokenization and work with certified payment providers who process and store this information in accordance with PCI DSS security standards. This significantly reduces the risks of data breaches.

How do I know which plan is right for me?

To choose the right subscription plan, assess your needs: how many projects you plan, whether you need AI generation features or an extended object library. For most private users planning to develop plots up to 2000 square meters, the "Professional" plan is optimal, offering a balance of features and cost.

Can I pause my subscription temporarily?

Currently, FormSpace does not offer a subscription pause feature. You can disable automatic renewal, and your subscription will expire at the end of the current paid period. If needed, you can always subscribe again later.

Are there discounts for long-term payments?

Yes, FormSpace often offers discounts when choosing an annual subscription compared to monthly payments. This allows you to save a significant amount in the long run while getting continuous access to all platform features. Information about discounts is available on the plan selection page.

What should I do if my payment fails?

If your payment fails, first check the correctness of the entered card details, account balance, and online purchase limits. If the problem persists, contact your bank to ensure there are no blocks, and if necessary, contact FormSpace support with error details for assistance.

Paying for a FormSpace subscription is a simple and secure process that opens the door to limitless possibilities for realizing your dream of an ideal landscape. We strive to make your planning experience as comfortable and productive as possible.
