Plans and billing

# Buying in the app

In the QR4Events app for Android you can buy the same packs and subscriptions as on our website, paid through Google Play with your Google account.

## Buy a plan

1. In the app, select **Plan**.
2. Pick a plan and length. The prices are Google Play's, in your currency.
3. Pay in Google Play's checkout.

Your plan starts as soon as Google Play confirms the payment, usually in a few seconds. Another pack of the same plan adds time to the end of your current one. A different plan starts straight away, in place of your current pack.

## What Google Play looks after

For anything you buy in the app, Google is the seller:

- Google adds any VAT and emails you the receipt. We don't send an invoice for these.
- You change your card, cancel a subscription or ask for a refund in Google Play: open the Play Store, then **Profile** > **Payments and subscriptions**, or select **Manage in Google Play** on your **Plan** page.
- When a subscription is cancelled, your codes keep working until the end of the period you've paid for.

If a renewal payment fails, Google Play tries again for a few days. Your codes keep working meanwhile, and your **Plan** page shows **Payment due**.

## Need a VAT invoice?

If your business needs an invoice in its own name, buy on our website instead: you'll get our VAT invoice with your company details. See [Choose a plan](https://qr4events.co.uk/help/choose-a-plan).

## One way to pay at a time

If you have a subscription from our website, you manage it on the website. If it was bought in the app, you manage it in Google Play. To move from one to the other, cancel the current one and buy again when it ends.
