# What happens when my free trial ends?

> How your 30-day trial converts to a paid subscription and when the first charge happens.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * The free trial runs **30 days** from signup.
  * When the trial ends, your subscription becomes active and is billed automatically — there's no separate confirmation step to click.
  * Add a payment card **before** the trial ends, or the first charge fails and the grace-period process starts.
</Note>

New clubs on a paid plan start with a 30-day free trial. During the trial you have full access and aren't charged. When the 30 days are up, Uplifter automatically switches your subscription to active and generates your first invoice in the same daily billing run.

Because conversion is automatic, the most important thing is to have a working card on file before your trial ends.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check your trial end date">
    Open **Settings → Billing & Usage → Subscription Billing**. Your Current Plan card shows your plan and renewal information.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a payment method">
    On the **Payment Methods** card, add a card so the first charge can go through. This is the step people most often forget.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Let it convert">
    When the trial ends, your subscription becomes active and the first charge is taken automatically. You'll get a payment confirmation email.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If no card is on file (or the card is declined) when your trial converts, the charge fails and your club enters the grace period — see what happens when a payment fails.
