Plans and billing

Upfayre is free for PTAs that run the occasional event. The full plan is for PTAs that run events all year round, and for selling tickets and merchandise. The free plan includes ticket sales for one event, so you can see how selling works before you decide.

The price is per PTA, not per person: one subscription covers your whole committee and every parent who helps. There's no VAT to add.

Seeing your plan

Open Manage PTA in the menu. The badge under your PTA's name says which plan you're on. If you're on the committee, click it to see the details, or to upgrade.

Upgrading

On the plan page, click Subscribe — £75/year. You'll pay by card on Stripe's secure page, and the full plan starts as soon as the payment goes through.

Only the committee can upgrade. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel any time.

Still on a free trial or reward months? Subscribing early doesn't cut them short: your first year starts the day after they end, and that's when the first payment is taken or the first invoice is sent.

Paying by bank transfer

No card for the PTA? Under the Subscribe button, choose Send me an invoice. You can have it sent to your treasurer.

The invoice has a sort code and account number set up for your PTA: pay it with an ordinary bank transfer from the PTA's account, and it's matched to the invoice for you.

The full plan starts as soon as you ask for the invoice, and you have 30 days to pay. If it isn't paid by then, your PTA moves to the free plan until it is. Each year after that, we'll email the next invoice.

Changing your card, invoices and cancelling

On the plan page, click Manage subscription. It opens Stripe's billing page, where you can update the card, see your payments or cancel. When a subscription ends, your PTA moves to the free plan. Nothing is deleted: past events, totals and reports all stay.

If a renewal payment fails, your committee sees a banner with an Update payment link. We try the card again for a while before anything changes. Paying by invoice? The banner links to the invoice instead.

Joined during the beta?

PTAs that joined Upfayre before September 2026 have the full plan free until 31 August 2027. We'll email your committee in June, before the end of term, and again 30 days before that date, and a banner appears on your dashboard in the last two months. If you do nothing, you move to the free plan and keep everything you've made. To carry on with the full plan, subscribe any time from the plan page.

Who pays?

The PTA does, not an individual: one subscription covers the whole PTA, whoever on the committee sets it up.
