⚠️ Please Note:
If you sell/transfer your business to a new owner, you must update the payment method on file for the subscription software as part of the business transaction. Failure to update payment on file with DaySmart will not be refunded and must be handled between the previous and new owners of the account.
To update your billing information and process a past due payment, you can go to account.daysmart.com. You will then want to sign in with your administrator e-mail and password. This email will likely be the same e-mail and password that you use when signing in for the Cloud service or to edit your online booking page.
If you are already logged into your account, you can click your name in the upper right hand corner and select Billing & Account.
Once you are signed in, select Billing at the top of the page.
Select Update Payment Method. If your payment is past due, select Update & Process Credit Card.
Choose your payment method using either Credit Card or Bank Account (ACH).
ACH is available for U.S. customers only.
If you choose ACH, have your bank routing number and account number ready.
Check the box to accept the terms and conditions.
Select Save Credit Card, Save Payment, or Update & Process Credit Card.
Your credit card information should now be updated. If you had a past due payment, that should now also be processed. To verify payment has been received for your account please reach out to our support team via live chat or email.
If your payment was past due, and you are using the Messaging Service, Remote Access, or Online Booking, it is recommended that you refresh the connection for those services within the software.

Additional details with example image below:
At the time of starting your new account, you may have been offered temporary special promotion. This could come in the form of a discount or a “free period”, depending on the current promotion. When this offer is complete, your standard subscription rates begin to bill.
SMS overages apply for both Reminders/2-way and SMS Marketing and are billed as separate items
Messaging overages will be defined on your monthly invoice as ‘Cost for additional text messages (over included quantity)’ with the amount that will be charged if any additional text sent over that threshold
The Quantity column shows how many messages were sent over the monthly allotted amount
The Total Price column shows how much was charged due to the message count going over

How do I request a refund/credit?
Click the arrow to view the answer
Click the arrow to view the answer
Messaging packages cannot be refunded based on usage. They are sold as a package and are not tracked and billed based on usage unless there is an overage incurred through the billing period. Messaging will also not be refunded based on undeliverability.
Messaging packages are also not intended to be purchased and removed continuously on an account. Doing so can cause issues with the number assigned to the account and may result in the need to reverify the messaging service. DaySmart will not provide refunds in this case or for incorrect information being entered for the verification process. If you have questions about the information needed, please contact our support team and we will be happy to assist you.
Requests made for credits or refunds are reviewed on a case by case basis and are requests only. Aside from the above, you may receive either a credit or refund in full, or in part, based on evidence found around your specific case.
I want to cancel on this specific date. Why can't I get a refund for the unused days?
Click the arrow to view the answer
Click the arrow to view the answer
DaySmart will not provide refunds for non-usage of the software. When an invoice is charged, we provide access to the software until the end of that billing cycle to help you remove any information you may need. It is the responsibility of the account holder to cancel the subscription in accordance with when they will no longer need access by creating a case to cancel, or canceling the account through the Account Management website. Please contact us for any assistance needed in canceling your subscription.

What is this prorated charge?
Click the arrow to view the answer
Click the arrow to view the answer
When upgrading or downgrading your subscription in-between billing cycles, we charge partial amounts for both the old subscription and new subscription based on the number of days both subscriptions were active. In this way, you only pay for the portion of the subscription you used for the portion of the billing cycle, rather than paying full price for both the old and new subscription.
I can’t pay now, but I can pay in later. Is that ok?

Our system has a 7 day grace period when a payment failed or missed. If you are unable to make a payment within this time frame, the account will be suspended and can be reactivated by updating the payment method or by reaching out to our support team.
Why am I being charged through Apple and Daysmart?
Click the arrow to view the answer
Click the arrow to view the answer
In-app purchases made through Apple create a self-provisioned account, which has limitations compared to standard subscriptions. If you’ve upgraded to a DaySmart-billed account, you’ll still need to cancel your Apple subscription separately. For help switching to a full subscription, please contact our Sales team at [email protected]
