Pricing and billing
Each product is its own subscription, sized by how many items you publish. Drafts are free, you change the size anytime, and canceling never deletes anything.
Walink has no packages or tiers. Each paid product is its own subscription, and its size is the number of items you can have published at the same time. You pay for what's live, and building is free.
Prices
| Product | Price | One unit covers |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Links | $9 a year per link | One published Premium Link |
| Smart Links | $5 a month per additional destination | One destination beyond a Smart Link's default |
| Forms | $10 a month per published form | One published form |
| Multilink | Free | One page per Premium Link in your subscription |
Prices on this page are shown in your local currency where Walink offers one.
Every Smart Link includes its default destination, and only the ones beyond it are billed. A Smart Link that splits clicks between three people uses two additional destinations. Your additional destinations are shared across all your Smart Links.
Some things cost nothing: drafts, Multilink pages, and up to 5 free links in your account. Any subscription also unlocks Analytics for all your products.
Drafts and publishing
Publishing an item uses one unit of that product's subscription. Setting it back to draft, or deleting it, frees the unit right away, and you can use it for something else.
If every unit is in use when you publish, the app tells you, and you can keep the item as a draft or add units from Billing. Upgrading a free link in your account to Premium uses one Premium Link.
Buying a subscription
Open Billing from your account menu in the top bar. The Subscriptions and billing page has one card per product.
- Set how many you need under Choose quantity.
- Select Go to checkout, which shows the total for that size.
- Pay on Stripe's secure checkout page. You can still change the quantity there.
Premium Links renew yearly; Smart Links and Forms renew monthly. Each subscription has its own renewal date, shown on its card.
Changing the size
On the product's card, select Modify subscription and set the new quantity. Stripe shows the exact amount before you confirm.
- Adding units: select Review & pay difference. You pay only for the rest of the current billing period, when you confirm.
- Removing units: select Review & confirm. The difference comes back as credit toward future invoices.
You can't go below the number of units in use. To shrink further, set some items back to draft or delete them first, so you always choose what stays published.
Currencies and payment methods
Prices follow the country you subscribe from. Buyers in India pay in INR, by card or UPI. Buyers in Nigeria pay in NGN and can use a Naira card. Everyone else pays in USD.
Once an account has a subscription, every later purchase uses the same currency, because Stripe can't mix currencies on one account. An account in India that already pays in USD stays in USD.
UPI AutoPay can only renew a subscription up to a limit per charge, which the billing page states. To grow a subscription past it, add a card under Manage billing first.
Invoices and payment details
Manage billing opens Stripe's customer portal, with your invoices and receipts, your payment methods and cancellation. Your billing email follows your account email, so changing it in Settings updates Stripe too.
Failed payments
If a renewal payment fails, nothing stops right away. Stripe retries the payment and your items keep working. A banner in the app has a button to pay the open invoice, such as Pay Premium Links invoice. Until it's paid, creating and editing items of that product is paused.
You also get an email when a renewal payment fails, and another if the payment never goes through and your items are deactivated. These are the Billing alerts in Settings. If Stripe stops retrying, the subscription ends and its items go back to draft, as described below.
Canceling
Cancel in Manage billing. The subscription runs until the end of the period you paid for, and its card shows Cancels on with the date. Then:
- Premium Links: your Premium Links go back to draft, with their landing pages and your Multilink pages.
- Smart Links: the Smart Links that use additional destinations go back to draft.
- Forms: your forms go back to draft.
Nothing is deleted. Every item keeps its settings and content, so you can subscribe again and publish to bring it back. Free links in your account keep working. A free link you upgraded is a Premium Link from then on, so it goes back to draft too.
Previous platform
If you subscribed on the previous Walink platform, your subscriptions move over when you migrate your account: see Coming from the previous platform.
