Placker subscriptions are based on the number of active users and if they are set as members. Everyone needs an active Placker subscription in order to access data.

To add a member to a subscription, follow these steps:

Add the member to a Trello or Placker board

If it's a Trello board, it is required to add a member there first. To do so, click the share button:

But if it is a Placker board not connected to Trello, on the scope bar, click the title of the board and Board Settings. Then, on "Members" tab, type the email of the member:

New member signs up to Placker

After adding a new member to a board, they will receive an email with a button to sign up to Placker and join the subscription.

Alternatively, they can visit Placker.com and sign up with their email or Trello account. Make sure to select sign up with Trello if that's the case.

Edit subscription members

Then, access the subscription page clicking your profile picture / edit subscription, at the top right of the screen.

On "members" tab, check if the new members are in the inactive area and add them in case they are not automatically added. Click the button on the Role column.

Make sure the member type is set to the correct type. Blocked members will not count as active, but also won't have access to the subscription. In a similar way, billing members will only have access to the invoices, not the board data.

When it requires to include an additional license, there may be a window with the price change to confirm.

Set the preferred adding method

On "settings" tab, you can set the default method of adding members to the subscription: always as active (which might change the number of active users, therefore the price), active when there are unassigned slots (you can leave some open slots for new members) or always pending (you will always need to manually change the type to member).

Impact of members added or removed in the subscription charged amount

When a user is added, we will start billing for the user in the next billing period. When the user is removed, we will remove the user from the subscription and will not pro-rate the amount.
