Subscriptions

The Subscriptions section is where you manage everything related to your membership — your plan, credits, add-ons, and wallet. Think of it as your “account” for paying for and using FundedYouth services.

Note

You need an active membership before you can buy credit packs, subscribe to add-ons, or register for sessions. The membership is the foundation — everything else builds on top of it.

Getting Access

Before you can see the Subscriptions menu, you need to sign the Subscription & Credit Plan Agreement.

How It All Connects

Before diving into each page, here’s how the Subscriptions section connects to the rest of the portal:

Section	What It Does	Credits Needed?
Subscriptions > Plans	Choose and manage your membership	No — this is where you start
Subscriptions > Credit Packs	Buy extra credits for your wallet	You pay with real money (Stripe)
Subscriptions > Add-ons	Subscribe to monthly perks	You pay with real money (Stripe)
Subscriptions > Wallet	See your credit balance and history	This is where your credits live
Sessions > Browse Events	Find and register for classes	Yes — credits are deducted from your wallet
Student > My Courses	Enroll in courses (tracking only)	No — enrolling is always free

Tip

Think of it like this: Subscriptions is where you load up your credits. Sessions is where you spend them. Student is where you track what you’ve learned.

Plans

This is where you pick your membership plan. A membership is a monthly subscription — you pay a set amount each month and get access to FundedYouth services.

Choosing a Plan

When you don’t have a membership yet, you’ll see all available plans:

Basic Membership

Become a Basic member and unlock the full FundedYouth experience. Gain access to Credit Packs, Session registration, Add-ons, and more — all powered by our FYBIT credit system.

$5.00 /monthly

Subscribe

Each plan shows:

• Plan name and description
• Monthly price (e.g., $5.00/monthly)
• What’s included — some plans come with bundled add-ons and credit packs at no extra cost

Click Subscribe to start the checkout process.

Paying with Stripe

When you click Subscribe, a secure payment form appears right inside the portal. This is powered by Stripe — a trusted payment processor used by millions of businesses.

• Enter your card details directly in the form
• You never leave the portal — everything happens on the same page
• After payment, your membership is activated immediately

Your payment information is safe

FundedYouth takes security seriously. Here’s how your information is protected:

• Stripe handles all payment processing. Stripe is a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor — the highest level of security certification in the payments industry. Your card number, expiration date, and CVC are sent directly to Stripe’s servers and are never stored, logged, or visible to FundedYouth.
• All connections are encrypted. Every interaction between your browser, the FundedYouth portal, and Stripe is protected by TLS (HTTPS) encryption. Your data cannot be intercepted in transit.
• The portal uses secure authentication. Your FundedYouth account is protected by encrypted sessions. The portal automatically logs you out after a period of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access on shared devices.
• No one at FundedYouth can see your full card details. Stripe may display only the last 4 digits of your card for identification purposes — the full number is never accessible.

Note

You can only have one active membership at a time. If you want to switch plans, you’ll need to cancel your current one first.

Your Active Membership

Once subscribed, your plan page updates to show your current membership:

Current Membership

Your active membership plan

Active

Basic Membership

$5.00/monthly

Member Since Mar 18, 2026

Current Period Mar 18, 2026 – Apr 18, 2026

Next Billing Apr 18, 2026

Cancel Membership

Your membership card shows:

• Plan name and monthly price
• Status badge — your current membership state (top-right corner)
• Member Since — when your membership began
• Current Period — the dates your current billing month covers
• Next Billing — when you’ll be charged again
• Cancel Membership — link to cancel (see below)

Membership Status

Your membership can be in one of these states:

Active — Everything is working. You can spend credits and register for sessions.

Frozen — Your membership is temporarily paused. Your credits are safe but you can’t spend them until an admin unfreezes your account.

Lapsed — There was a payment issue. Your wallet is frozen. You have a grace period (usually 90 days) to reactivate before losing your credits.

Cancelled — Your membership has been permanently ended. Your wallet is frozen and bundled add-ons are cancelled.

Cancelling Your Membership

You can cancel your membership at any time by clicking the Cancel button. Before cancelling, the portal will warn you:

Cancel your membership?

Your membership will remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your wallet will be frozen and any bundled add-ons and credit packs will be cancelled.

Keep Membership Cancel Membership

What happens when you cancel:

• Your membership stays active until the end of the current billing period
• After that, your wallet is frozen — you can’t spend credits
• Any add-ons and credit packs that came bundled with your plan are also cancelled
• You have a grace period (usually 90 days) to reactivate before your credits are permanently removed

Credit Packs

Credit packs let you buy extra credits to add to your wallet.

Caution

An active membership is required to purchase and use credits. Credits let you sign up for sessions, use 3D printers, and more. If your membership is cancelled or frozen, you won’t be able to buy or spend credits.

There are two types of credit packs:

One-Time — Pay once, get credits added to your wallet immediately. No recurring charges.

Monthly — Subscribe to receive credits added to your wallet every month. You can cancel anytime.

Browsing Credit Packs

Each credit pack shows the pack name, a description, the price, and how many credits you get:

20 FYBIT Credits | One Time

This is a non-refundable purchase. Credits cannot be exchanged for cash or real currency.

$10.00 20 credits

Buy

Detail	What It Means
Pack name	The name of the pack and whether it’s one-time or monthly
Description	Details about the purchase, including refund policy
Price	The dollar amount you’ll pay
Credits	How many FYBIT credits are included (shown in teal)

Purchasing

Click Buy (for one-time) or Subscribe (for monthly) to open the Stripe checkout form. Just like with membership plans, the payment form appears right inside the portal.

• One-time packs: Credits are added to your wallet immediately after payment.
• Monthly packs: Credits are added each month on your billing date.

My Credit Packs

Below the available packs, you’ll see a table of all credit packs you’ve purchased:

PACK	CREDITS	TYPE	DATE	STATUS
Learner Pack | One Time	200	ONE-TIME	Mar 18, 2026	PURCHASED

Each row shows:

Column	What It Shows
Pack	The name of the pack you bought
Credits	How many credits were included
Type	ONE-TIME or MONTHLY
Date	When you purchased it
Status	PURCHASED for one-time packs or ACTIVE for monthly subscriptions

Note

You cannot purchase credit packs without an active membership. The membership is the foundation — credit packs build on top of it. If you don’t see the Credit Packs page, make sure you have an active plan in the Plans section first.

---

Add-ons

Add-ons are extra monthly perks you can add to your membership. They cost a set amount per month and give you access to special benefits.

Caution

Add-ons are monthly charges added to your membership. They are not one-time purchases. You need an active membership to subscribe.

How Add-ons Work

Each add-on has a redemption type that determines how the perk works:

Always Active — The perk is always “on” as long as you’re subscribed. No action needed — you just have it.

Once Per Month — The perk can be used one time per billing period. An admin at FundedYouth marks it as used when you redeem it in person.

My Add-ons

If you have active add-ons, they appear in a table at the top of the page:

ADD-ON	PRICE	TYPE	PERK	SINCE	STATUS
Monthly One Time Test	$0.00/mo	MONTHLY	◷ Available	Mar 18, 2026	ACTIVE	Cancel

Each row shows:

Column	What It Shows
Add-on	The name of the add-on you subscribed to
Price	What you pay each month
Type	MONTHLY — all add-ons are monthly
Perk	Your perk status for the current billing period
Since	When you subscribed
Status	ACTIVE or CANCELLED
Cancel	A Cancel link to unsubscribe

Perk Statuses

The Perk column tells you whether your perk is available to use this month:

Available — You can redeem your perk this billing period

Used — You’ve already redeemed it — it resets on your next billing date

Always Active — The perk is always on, no redemption needed

Available Add-ons

Below your active add-ons, you’ll see all available add-ons you can subscribe to:

$2 OFF PLA and PETG

$2.00 OFF PLA + PETG 3D Printer Filament

$5.00 /mo

Subscribe

Each add-on card shows:

• Add-on name and description
• Monthly price (e.g., $5.00/mo)
• Subscribe button — click to add it to your membership

Click Subscribe to open the Stripe checkout form and add the add-on to your membership.

Perk Redemption History

At the bottom of the page, a table shows every time one of your perks was redeemed:

• Date — when it was used
• Add-on name — which perk
• Redeemed by — which admin marked it
• Notes — any notes the admin added

Note

If your membership is cancelled, your add-ons are cancelled too. Some add-ons may be included free with certain membership plans — check your plan details before subscribing separately.

---

Wallet

Your wallet is where all your credits live. Think of it like a bank account — credits go in when you buy them, and credits come out when you register for sessions.

Balance

At the top, you’ll see your current credit balance — a large number showing how many credits you have available to spend:

Available Credits

160

If your wallet is frozen, a blue banner appears below the balance:

Available Credits

160

Your wallet is frozen. Credits cannot be spent until your membership is reactivated.

Transaction History

Below your balance, you’ll see a list of every credit transaction — every time credits were added or removed from your wallet:

Session Booking

Registration for "Bambu Studio Basics (3DP2)"

-40

Mar 18, 2026

Pack Purchase

Purchased "Learner Pack | One Time" (200 credits)

+200

Mar 18, 2026

Each transaction shows:

Detail	What It Shows
Icon	A green upward arrow for credits added, or a red downward arrow for credits removed
Type	What kind of transaction (see below)
Description	Details about what happened — which session, pack, or action
Amount	Credits added (+200) or removed (-40)
Date	When it happened

Transaction Types

Pack Purchase — Credits added from a one-time credit pack you bought

Monthly Credits — Credits added from your monthly credit pack subscription

Session Booking — Credits deducted when you registered for a session

No-Show Penalty — Credits taken away because you didn’t show up to a session

Adjustment — An admin manually added or removed credits

Discard — Credits removed because your membership was cancelled past the grace period

Refund — Credits returned because you cancelled a session registration

Important Things About Your Wallet

• Your balance can go below zero. If you get a no-show penalty and don’t have enough credits, your balance will drop into the negatives. You’ll need to buy more credits to bring it back up.
• Frozen wallets can’t spend. If your membership is frozen, lapsed, or cancelled, you can’t register for sessions — even if you have credits.
• Credits are not money. You can’t trade them for cash, give them to someone else, or use them outside of FundedYouth.
• Credits can expire. If your membership is cancelled and the grace period passes (usually 90 days), any remaining credits may be permanently removed.

---

Bundled Benefits

Some membership plans come with bundled add-ons and credit packs included at no extra cost. When you subscribe to one of these plans:

• Bundled add-ons are automatically activated — you don’t need to subscribe to them separately
• Bundled credit packs are automatically added to your wallet
• If you cancel your membership, all bundled items are cancelled too

You can see what’s included in each plan on the Plans page before you subscribe.
