If you log into Acuity with an Acuity account, this guide is intended for you. It explains how to access records, update cards, handle declined charges, and switch between monthly and annual plans.
If you log in with a Squarespace account, visit Acuity pricing, billing and invoices or Changing your Acuity billing plan.
You can choose from a variety of Acuity Scheduling plans, paid for on an annual or monthly basis. This guide explains how to enter new card details, troubleshoot failed payments, view your receipts, and change between monthly and annual billing.
Update your card on file
To enter a new billing credit card or debit card:
- Go to the My Account page.
- Click Update credit card.
- Enter the new information, then click Update billing.
Accepted methods of payment
All payments for Acuity Scheduling are in U.S. dollars, and your receipts from Acuity are in U.S. dollars. If your financial institution operates in another currency, there may be a conversion to that currency on their statements.
We accept:
- Major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover
- Debit cards that bear a major credit card’s logo
It’s not possible to pay with:
- Wire transfers
- Checks
- PayPal
- Purchase orders

If your card was declined
If your card is declined when we try to charge you for your Acuity subscription, your account won’t be immediately canceled or downgraded.
We’ll send you an email about the decline which will ask you to review your payment details or try a different card. Over the next two weeks, we’ll automatically try to charge the card on file up to three more times.
At the end of those two weeks, if we still can’t process your payment, you’ll be downgraded to our free plan. The free plan limits many of your settings and features. After you update your card, you can upgrade from the free plan to one of our paid plans. All your settings and data are preserved exactly as you left them.
Check card details
To ensure that we can charge your card, check that:
- All card information is entered correctly in the My account panel
- That the card hasn’t expired
- Your financial institution shows any debit card you used is connected to an account with sufficient funds for the charge
If you’ve double-checked those details, but Acuity still can’t successfully charge you, contact your credit card company or bank to ask why the charge is being declined.
View your receipts
You can view your receipts if you currently have or have ever had a paid account.
To review your receipts:
- Go to the My account panel.
- Click View receipts.
We’re required to collect tax on Acuity subscriptions in some jurisdictions. To learn more, visit our guides on taxes in the United States, value added taxes (VATs), taxes in Canada, or taxes in Australia and New Zealand.
Tip: You can also send your clients receipts when they pay for appointments.
