How do I change my billing cycle?

This guide is intended for users who are currently on a paid Skillshare membership or Skillshare trial.

 

You can change your Skillshare membership cycle at any time. This guide covers how to change your billing cycle.

Changing your billing cycle

You can choose from two billing cycles: monthly or annual. It's not possible to pay for multiple years at a time. To change your billing cycle:

  1. Log in to your Skillshare account
  2. Go to Account Settings and enter Membership & Payments
  3. Cancel your membership
  4. After cancelling, go through the steps to reactivate your membership and select your preferred billing cycle

When does billing take effect?

If you change your billing cycle, your membership will be reactivated & you'll be charged immediately. If you stay on your previous billing cycle (e.g. annual membership -> annual membership) you will be charged on your original billing cycle end date. 

Refer to the table below for a breakdown of when you'll be charged upon reactivating:
