# RITA Dashboard

## Subscribe via the [RITA Dashboard](https://dashboard.ritabot.gg/)

Goodbye Patreon, Hello Stripe! Over the last year, we’ve rebuilt our subscription engine on Stripe and wrapped it all up in a sleek, self-service **Dashboard**. From here you can:

* **Manage every aspect** of your RITA subscription: past, present, and future
* Choose **Bi-monthly billing** (pay for 2 months at a time), as well as select being billed on the 1st (prorated) or **same day as your signup date**.
* Link your Discord account easily to your subscriptions by just logging in.
* Modify subscription server's settings (embed style, reaction translation, bot2bot mode) as well as select which server your subscription(s) are assigned to
* Pick your translation engine:
  * 100% Machine Learning
  * Optimized
  * Normal
* …and many more exciting features to come!

Click on Authorise</p></figcaption></figure>

      1. Upon logging in, you will be taken to the "Manage RITA" page. Please note that the side menu includes a dropdown to select the language that is most comfortable for *you.*

1. **Manage RITA**
   1. Upon successful login, you're taken to a **Management** page
      1. This page gives you an overview of your current subscriptions and where they're assigned. If you do not have any subscriptions, a general promotion page will be shown instead.
         1. To modify a specific subscription, you must select it by clicking and successfully highlighting the relevant subscription row.
   2. Example page
   3. ![](https://2904601735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYAVk_hG8DjP4l7rB5Z%2Fuploads%2FPDLbgvYGsBXdQUdaGIoU%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e3fc3eaf-e84e-4d4a-bc44-99e8a65fa1be)
2. A general overview of some character stats, and settings relating to the subscription and the assigned server are displayed when selecting each subscription.
   1. This will be important later when you want to assign your new subscription to your server.
3. **Purchase a New Plan**
   1. Click the ***"Subscribe"*** menu item to take you to the checkout page.
   2. This checkout page is where you will configure your new subscription(s)

      1. You can configure if you want to pay on a Bimonthly (2 months) or monthly interval
      2. You can also configure the renewal date to be the day you subscribe, or the first of every month&#x20;
         1. Note: Your first payment only pays for the days left in your first billing cycle, not simply the sticker price (only relevant if you anchor renewal to the 1st)
      3. These buttons are what you use to change your renewal/interval options, and they are reflected in the prices and renewal dates in each tier box.

      <figure><img src="https://2904601735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYAVk_hG8DjP4l7rB5Z%2Fuploads%2Fp7QiwugCfau7lw2wTzn5%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=be0db4a5-159e-4bd8-89ce-83581fadec15" alt=""><figcaption><p>The buttons to set up the renewal dates</p></figcaption></figure>

      <figure><img src="https://2904601735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYAVk_hG8DjP4l7rB5Z%2Fuploads%2FdL228AClfVceXQrIOx0E%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=33ec135d-78a9-4c5d-ae7a-44c028111c93" alt=""><figcaption><p>The anchor and the price for each subscription</p></figcaption></figure>
   3. Once you have configured the quantity, the interval of the subscription, and the renewal date (if that is relevant to you), click **"Subscribe"** on the tier that you want

      1. Example: If I want 1 Tinkerer subscription

      <figure><img src="https://2904601735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYAVk_hG8DjP4l7rB5Z%2Fuploads%2F6mlhpDng18PcXvlv7ho0%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7178e55a-1ffb-42eb-bac0-928bfe072d23" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
   4. You will be taken to a checkout page, where you will enter your billing details. Upon successful payment and verification, you will be routed back to the dashboard.

      1. In the checkout page you can apply various coupons, such as our new Dashboard promotion code: **`3MONTHS10`  for 3 months at 10% off.**
      2.

      ```
      <figure><img src="https://2904601735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MYAVk_hG8DjP4l7rB5Z%2Fuploads%2FSxxzOe8mEDtHOzkDWRxR%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=68a2246a-e3ab-4f2a-8fad-8ac7baeddbe9" alt=""><figcaption><p>Promotion code box</p></figcaption></figure>
      ```
   5. Upon successful payment, a new subscription will appear in the Dashboard. If it hasn't, refresh the page until it does.&#x20;
      1. If a new subscription does not appear, it is possible that something went wrong. Please check your email, and if you are unable to resolve it, open a ticket in the [RITA Support Server](https://discord.gg/invite/7yYUWruQp6).
   6. From here, you can click on the new subscription and assign it to any available server that is not subscribed. If you want to assign it to a server that is subscribed, you will have to run **`/sub`** in your server and select the new subscription from the dropdown.
   7. You’re done! Your plan will activate immediately upon being assigned to a new server that RITA is in.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Assigning servers to a subscription via the Dashboard has been reported to be buggy. Upon returning to Discord, you should run **`/sub`** as a precaution to ensure RITA is correctly assigned to your server.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
RITA only requests necessary permissions upon login, which include your Discord email (for billing and notification purposes) and the guilds you are in (to filter which guilds you can assign your subscription to)
{% endhint %}

### 🤔 FAQ

#### What is the Dashboard?

The RITA Dashboard is your one-stop website for managing servers, billing, and support—powered by Stripe and tied to your Discord account.

#### Do I need to cancel Patreon?

You **don’t have to** immediately, but we recommend switching over on your next renewal date to take advantage of:

* Lower subscription rates (especially for non-USD subscriptions)
* Promo codes & discounts
* Better self-service controls (via the **`/billing`** cmd, a.k.a the Stripe Billing Portal)

Cancelling Patreon gives you access **until the end of your current paid period**. Then simply re-subscribe via the Dashboard and assign your new subscription to your old server with **`/sub`**.\
&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
From **the 10th of June to the 15th of June**, we will refund any June payments for Patreon subscribers who transition to the dashboard.
{% endhint %}

#### Will I pay more with Stripe?

Nope! In fact, we’ll roll out exclusive promo codes for early movers. You may even pay **less** than you do on Patreon today.

#### Can I keep using RITA v1 features?

Absolutely. All existing RITA optimizations, bugfixes, and new updates (v2, v3…) won't be limited ever based on tier.

#### Who do I contact if something breaks?

Join our Support Server and open a ticket, we'll get on it ASAP.
