receive Ferzu+ benefits until the end of their current premium period, however those Stripe subscriptions will not automatically renew.

All purchases of Ferzu+ via ferzu.com are now handled by our payment provider Stripe, one of the largest and most reputable payment processors in the worldCCBill.

Via StripeCCBill, we currently accept the following methods of payment: 

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, and JCB payment cards (including credit or debit cards), as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay JCB and Discover credit cards.

To cancel your existing Ferzu+ subscription purchased via the website using StripeCCBill, please visit your account overview page and click on the “Manage Billing” button.

Currently, all Ferzu+ plans are recurring (meaning unless youcancel your subscription, it will renew at the end of the designated period). If you’d like to cancel your renewing plan, you can do so at any time. Cancelling will not remove any of your remaining days, it will simply stop the renewal process at the next scheduled payment date. If your Ferzu+ plan expires for any reason or if you cancel your renewing plan and you’d like to get Ferzu+ again, just go back and pay for a new period of time and full Ferzu+ access will be restored immediately.

How can I change my method of payment, review my prior purchases or get a receipt?

For all purchases via Stripe, you can do all of those things via the “Manage Billing” button on your account overview page on Ferzu. From there, you’ll be able to switch your payment method (for example, to a new credit card), review all your previous Ferzu+ payments and obtain an invoice for your transactions.

How will the Ferzu+ charge appear on my billing statement?

Your billing statement will show as "CCBill.Com * Grokio Communities” " (Grokio Communities LLC is the operating company behind Ferzu). The name Ferzu will not appear on your statements.
