License Activation

Use the Account page and the extension License settings together: the website starts checkout or portal access, while the extension activates the key that unlocks PRO features locally.

What is the current billing status?

As of 20 April 2026, SlashSnip supports full public billing:

• Public Stripe checkout is available at /pricing (first transactional proof closed 31 March 2026)
• Customer portal accessible from /account with licenseKey + customerEmail verification
• License activation inside the extension accepts both Stripe-issued keys and early-access keys

The runtime:

• accepts a license key;
• caches and refreshes license status (24h TTL, 12h refresh, 72h offline grace);
• unlocks PRO-only surfaces (statistics, advanced variables, encrypted backup).

Public pages

• Pricing guide — Free tier, PRO Annual $59/year, and Lifetime PRO at $149 (one-time, cap-limited availability).
• Installation — install guide while CWS approval pending
• Account & billing status — license lookup, portal access

If you purchased PRO via Stripe

Your license key is sent by email after checkout completes. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a message from SlashSnip with subject "Your SlashSnip PRO license key".

1. Open SlashSnip Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings -> License & PRO.
3. Paste the key and activate it.
4. Use refresh if you need to re-check status after support or billing changes.

If you already have a private / early-access key

Same flow — paste into Dashboard Settings -> License & PRO and activate.

What /account and /checkout/success mean

• /account is the current billing status page — look up license, open portal, check subscription state.
• /checkout/success is the post-checkout handoff showing masked purchase summary (license key, customer email are not exposed in full on the success URL; see full details in /account).
