When you upgrade to Smart or Pro, you choose between two ways to pay. The price is the same either way; the difference is renewal.
Subscription (recommended)
Your plan renews automatically every month — set it once, never think about it. Pay with:
- Maya
- GrabPay
- ShopeePay
One-time payment
You pay for one month at a time and renew manually when it ends. More payment channels are available this way:
- E-wallets: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, ShopeePay
- Online banking: BPI, UnionBank, RCBC, ChinaBank
- Over the counter: Cebuana, LBC
- QR Ph
One-time is handy if you prefer GCash, don't want anything auto-charging, or only need a heavy month (say, one Pro month to digitize a backlog).
How checkout works
- Go to Billing in the dashboard and pick your plan.
- Choose Subscription or One-time payment.
- You're taken to our payment processor's secure checkout to complete payment. SandDune never sees or stores your full payment details.
- Your plan activates as soon as payment is confirmed — usually within moments.
Pending payments
Started a checkout but didn't finish? The Billing page will show a pending payment notice with a Continue with Payment button. A pending payment must be completed (or lapse) before starting a different plan change. If something looks stuck, see Payment issues.
