Validity Period

The package is valid from the day of purchase to the same day the following month. For example, if a package was bought on March 1st, 2024, its validity period would be from March 1st, 2024 to April 1st, 2024.

How to Use

The package becomes effective immediately after purchase, and the package features directly bind to the application, identified by the SDKAppID. It depends on which application you selected at the time of purchase. If you have multiple applications that need to use the same product capability, you need to purchase multiple packages.

For example, if your application 123456 has purchased the Conference, and your other application 222222 also wants to use the Conference features, you will need to purchase another Conference package specifically for application 222222.

Renewal and Purchase Limit

All starter plans support manual renewal and do not support automatic renewal.
Under the same application ( SDKAppID), only one package can be purchased per product. For instance, under application 12345, if you have activated the Conference's Starter Plan package, you cannot purchase any other versions within its validity period. You can choose to renew the Starter Plan package for the current application, which will extend the validity period. If you wish to upgrade to other versions, you need to purchase them after the current version expires. All services can still be used within 5 days after the Starter Plan package expires. To avoid service interruption, we recommend renewing or purchasing a new package with 5 days after expiration.
Each account can purchase a Starter Plan for each product up to three times (Beauty AR can be purchased six times). For example, if you have already purchased the RTC Engine Starter Plan three times, you can still purchase the Conference Starter Plan three times. Please note, the Starter Plan is only available for new users. If you have already purchased the official version, you will not be eligible for the discount offered by the Starter Plan.

Pay-as-You-Go Supported

During the validity period of a package, the pay-as-you-go privileges are automatically activated for your account. Any usage beyond the package will be charged on a daily postpaid basis, ensuring the continuous service. For the pay-as-you-go billing mode, please check here.
After the package expires, if you do not have any valid packages, your pay-as-you-go privileges will be deactivated. To continue using the service, we recommend subscribing to our official monthly package with automatic renewal. Alternatively, you can choose to repurchase the Starter Package (each user can purchase a package for each product up to three times).

FAQs

Question 1: Why did my order fail?

Answer: There are two possible reasons. One is that you may not meet the purchase requirements for the promotion, such as not being a new user or having reached the maximum number of purchases allowed. The other is that you have a pending payment order. Please check the Console for any pending payments. If the payment is not finished within 15 minutes, the order will be automatically canceled, and you can place a new order afterward.

Question 2: What happens when I use up the package duration?

Answer: If the duration in the package is exhausted and the package has not yet reached its expiration, the exceeded duration will be settled and billed according to the pay-as-you-go pricing.

Question 3: I have purchased the Conference Starter Plan three times. Can I still buy Starter Plans for other products?

Answer: Yes, as long as you haven't purchased the regular package for the corresponding product, you can repeatedly buy Starter Plans for different products. Each product's Starter Plan can be purchased up to three times.
