Why do I need a credit card?
When signing up for a .RealEstate website, you’ll notice that a credit card is required even if you’re starting with the one-month free trial. Here’s why:
1. Seamless Transition After Your Free Trial
The one-month free trial allows you to explore your website without charge. Providing a credit card ensures that once your trial ends, your subscription continues automatically without any interruption, so your website stays live and accessible to clients.
2. Secure and Convenient Billing
Using a credit card allows us to securely process payments for your selected subscription plan—BASIC, EDGE, PREMIUM, or ELITE. It also makes it easier to manage your account and update your payment information if your plan changes.
3. Avoid Service Disruption
By keeping a credit card on file, you reduce the risk of accidentally losing access to your website after the trial. Your website, domain, and features remain active without requiring manual payments every month.
4. Optional: Cancel Anytime
You are not locked into paying if you decide the website isn’t right for you. If you cancel before the trial ends, your card won’t be charged. This gives you full control while still offering a smooth onboarding experience.
5. Investing in Your Business
Your subscription helps maintain a professional, high-quality platform with hosting, updates, support, and powerful tools to grow your real estate business. Having a credit card on file ensures you can continue leveraging these benefits seamlessly.
