How to Change the Email on Your Helperbird Subscription
Contact support to change your Helperbird Pro subscription email, then check that Pro still unlocks with your new address or a replacement subscription key.

Your Helperbird Pro subscription is held against one email address. That address is where your receipts go, and it is also what Helperbird checks when it unlocks Pro. Contact Helperbird support to change it. The billing portal's email login keeps this address protected, so you cannot change it there yourself.
Read this before you change it.
Changing your billing email is not only a contact detail. It is how Helperbird finds your subscription, so two things can go wrong.
- If you sign in with Google or Microsoft, keep the billing email the same as the address you sign in with. If the two stop matching, Helperbird will not find your subscription and Pro will lock.
- If you unlock Helperbird with a subscription key, your old key stops working. An individual key is issued for one email address and stops matching when that address changes. We send a new key to the new address, so watch for it and use that one from then on. A key issued to a whole school or workplace domain is not affected.
If you are not sure which of these applies to you, talk to support before you change anything.
Step 1: Open Your Billing Portal
The quickest route is from inside Helperbird. Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar, open the Options menu, and choose Settings. Scroll to the Billing section, then click Open on the Manage row. The billing login page opens in a new tab. Enter your current subscription email and follow the email verification prompt.

The Manage row appears when Helperbird has a billing link for your account, on any supported browser. School and workplace accounts show Managed by your organization instead, because an administrator owns the billing.
For a website purchase, if that link is unavailable, go to the Helperbird billing portal (opens in a new tab) directly. Enter the email address your subscription uses now, not the new one. App Store purchases use Apple’s account and subscription settings instead.
Step 2: Verify Your Email
Both routes verify your email before opening the portal. Check your inbox and follow the verification prompt. If it has expired, request a new email.
Step 3: Update Your Email Address
Contact Helperbird support with your current subscription email and the address you want to use. We will help verify the change and update your subscription.
Have access to the new address before you do this. It is the address the portal will ask for next time, and the one your receipts go to.
Check That Pro Still Unlocks
Helperbird finds your subscription by email, so changing it can change how Pro unlocks.
- On Chrome or Edge, if you use email login: Helperbird reads the email of the browser profile you are signed into and looks that up on your subscription. Sign that browser profile into the new address, or switch to a subscription key.
- If you use a subscription key: a personal key carries the email it was made for. After you change the address, contact support for a fresh key and enter that instead.
- Either way: open Helperbird's settings page, go to Billing, and press Check to pull your subscription again.
School and organization keys are not tied to one person's email, so changing a single address does not affect them.
