How do I open the Billing & Payments settings tab?

The Billing & Payments page is where every money-related setting in Valid Email Checker lives. Subscription state, saved cards, credit-usage charts, and links into your invoice archive all live on a single screen. New users sometimes hunt around the sidebar looking for separate Subscription / Cards / Receipts pages — there are none. One tab covers it.

Getting there from anywhere in the app

1. Click your avatar (top-right of the dashboard) and select Account Settings, or click Account Settings in the left sidebar.
2. You land on the Profile tab by default. Look at the row of tabs across the top of the settings area.
3. Click Billing & Payments. The URL becomes /account-settings?tab=billing-payments.
4. Choose a sub-tab inside Billing & Payments: Subscription, Payment Methods, or Credit Usage. The page remembers your last sub-tab choice in the URL so you can bookmark a specific view.

What each sub-tab shows you

• Subscription — your current plan, status badge, next billing date, scheduled downgrade banner (if any), and the buttons to cancel, reactivate, or change the renewal payment method.
• Payment Methods — every card you have saved with the active processor, with a default-card indicator and remove buttons. The Add Payment Method button opens the Stripe or Paddle card form.
• Credit Usage — a chart of credits consumed across the date ranges Today, Last 7, Last 30, Last 90, and Custom. Useful for confirming your plan size matches your actual draw.

Direct links worth bookmarking

If you want to skip the navigation step entirely, you can land on a specific sub-tab in one click. The path is /account-settings?tab=billing-payments&subtab=subscription (or payment-methods, or credit-usage). Bookmarking one of these is the fastest way to get to the page you actually use, since the default subtab is whatever you opened last.

Once you can find Billing & Payments, almost every other subscription question routes back to that page. The subscription status reference, card management flow, and renewal payment-method switch all start here.
