Payments, renewals and invoices: how billing works
You pay in advance, every month or every three, with no commitment. With a saved card, the renewal is charged automatically; without one, you pay it yourself in one click. It's all in “My plan & invoices”.
How you pay for a plan
By card, Google Pay or Apple Pay, right in the panel: “Buy”, the game, the plan and pay, without leaving. Payment is processed by Stripe, and the card is saved at Stripe (not at NapNodes) for renewals.
You can pay monthly or 3 months at once, which works out cheaper (see the prices). No commitment, and your first purchase comes with a full refund within 72 hours.
No server yet? Game servers from €6 a month, no contract and a full refund within 72 hours. Or create a free server, no card needed.
When a plan renews
7 days before: the invoice
The renewal invoice is issued. You see it in “My plan & invoices”. If you have credit from inviting a friend, it's already deducted.
The day before it's due: the charge
With a saved card, it's charged automatically; if it fails, it's retried up to three times, once a day. With no saved card, we remind you it's renewing and you pay it yourself with “Pay”.
If it isn't paid
2 days after the due date the server is suspended. Nothing is deleted: pay the invoice and it comes back as it was.
After 14 days
If it's still unpaid, it's deleted along with its data and backups. We warn you before.
Changing the card for renewals
There's no setting to hunt for: the card you pay an invoice with becomes the one for renewals. Below your plans, in “My plan & invoices”, you can see which one is used.
Where your invoices are
In “My plan & invoices”, the “Invoices” tab. Each one with its number, date, description, total and status: paid ones download with “PDF” and pending ones have “Pay”. If you have lots, filter by “Unpaid” or “Paid”. The invoice carries your name and email.
If you have something to pay, it shows at the very top, whichever tab you're on, with “Pay now”.
How to cancel a plan
Press “Cancel the plan”
In “My plan & invoices”, on that plan's card.
Choose when
“At the end of what you've already paid”: you keep playing until that date and aren't charged again. “Right now”: the server and its world are deleted on the spot.
Save what you want first
Download your world from “Backups” or “Files”: a deleted server can't be recovered.
If you change your mind
Until the date arrives, “Don't cancel” leaves it as it was.
Refunds
Your first purchase comes with a full refund if you ask within the first 72 hours (one per person). There's also the 14-day right of withdrawal, with a refund in proportion to the time used. Ask in “Help” and a person reviews it.
Frequently asked questions
Do NapNodes plans have a minimum term?
No. You pay in advance every month or every 3 months and cancel whenever you like from “My plan & invoices”.
Does the plan renew automatically?
Yes, with the saved card: it's charged the day before it's due. If you don't have one saved, the invoice arrives 7 days before and you pay it yourself.
What happens if I don't pay the renewal?
2 days after the due date the server is suspended, without deleting anything: pay and it comes back as it was. After 14 days it's deleted along with its data and backups.
Where do I download my invoices?
In “My plan & invoices”, the “Invoices” tab, with each one's “PDF” button.
How do I change the card I pay with?
Pay an invoice with the new card: from then on it's the one used for renewals.
Shall we set it up for you?
Game servers from €6 a month, never oversold: your RAM is yours alone. And if you'd rather start without paying, there's a free server, no card needed.
