I selected the wrong billing currency for my ActiveCampaign account

Introduction

When setting up your ActiveCampaign account, it’s crucial to choose the correct billing currency. This choice is significant because once you select a currency for your paid ActiveCampaign account, it cannot be changed. If you realize that you’ve selected the wrong billing currency after becoming a paid user, you will need to take specific steps to address this situation. Understanding how to navigate this issue effectively can save you time and hassle while ensuring that your billing aligns with your needs.

How to Access This Feature

Accessing information about your billing currency requires you to log in to your ActiveCampaign account. Once logged in, you would typically head to the Billing and Upgrades section, especially if you are upgrading from a trial account.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here are the steps to follow if you've selected the wrong billing currency:

1. **Log in** to your ActiveCampaign account. 2. Navigate to the Billing and Upgrades page. 3. If you are on a trial account, you can select your desired currency when you choose to upgrade to a paid account. 4. If you have already upgraded and selected the wrong currency, there is no option to change it directly. In this case, you should create a new account and make sure to select the correct currency during the account setup process.

Configuration Options and Settings

There are a few important options and settings regarding billing currency and account type:

- **Trial Account**: You can select your preferred billing currency on the Billing and Upgrades page during the upgrade process. - **Paid Account**: Once a currency is selected, it becomes permanent, and no changes are allowed.

Best Practices and Tips

To avoid the hassle of incorrect billing currency selection:

- **Double-check** your preferred currency before creating your account. - If you plan to operate in multiple currencies, consider how this might affect your billing. - Always remember that if you intend to change the currency later, you'll need to create a new account.

Common Use Cases with Examples

Understanding how the billing currency impacts your account can be crucial:

- If a business operates primarily in the Euro but mistakenly selects USD, all billing will occur in USD, potentially causing confusion in financial reporting. - A user in Canada might want to select CAD upon account creation but inadvertently selects USD, leading to payment issues and requiring a new account for resolution.

Troubleshooting

In cases where the wrong billing currency has been selected, the primary action is to create a new account:

- If you are attempting to change your billing currency after your initial account setup, unfortunately, the option does not exist. You must create a new account with the correct currency settings during the registration process.
