You cannot change the credit card for charges that have already occurred.
Delete Credit Card Information
You can delete your credit card information if you are on a free plan or if your paid plan has been canceled.

- Click [Change] and open your Payment method.
- Click [Delete].
Using Prepaid and Debit Cards
In some cases, you may be able to use debit cards that function like credit cards or prepaid cards sold at convenience stores, etc.
- An error will occur if the available balance is less than the plan's fees.
- To perform authorization (credit limit reservation), your balance may temporarily decrease even during a free trial. The system cancels it immediately, and your balance usually recovers within a few minutes to a few days.
- Some cards may not be usable.
- "JCB PREMO Card" cannot be used because it is not a type that functions like a credit card.
- Some cards may require initial registration for online use.
If Credit Card Payment Fails
If your credit card payment fails, the following reasons are possible:
- Your credit card information is incorrect.
- Please check if your card number, expiration date, and CVC are entered correctly.
- Your credit card has expired.
- Your credit card's available balance is less than the plan's payment amount.
If the payment fails, please change your credit card information.
Change to Free Plan Due to Payment Failure
If a payment fails, we will attempt the payment multiple times. If the payment fails several times, your plan will automatically change to a Free plan. Even if your plan has changed to a Free plan, you can reapply for a paid plan.
Since SocialDog's paid plans operate on a prepayment basis, payments that previously failed will not be re-attempted when you change back to a paid plan.
If you cannot resolve the issue, please contact us.
