All GrommrXL plans purchased via Stripe, CCBill or the Grokio Communities app are renewing (meaning unless you cancel your subscription, it will renew at the end of the designated period). Purchases made via the website using PayPal are non-renewing. If you’d like to cancel your renewing plan, you can do so at any time. Cancelling Canceling will not remove any of your remaining days, it will simply stop the renewal process at the next scheduled payment date. If your GrommrXL plan expires for any reason or if you cancel your renewing plan and you’d like to get GrommrXL again, just go back and pay for a new period of time and full GrommrXL 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 Grommr. From there, you’ll be able to switch your payment method (for example, to a new credit card), review all your previous GrommrXL payments and obtain an invoice for your transactions.

How will the GrommrXL charge appear on my billing statement?

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

How secure is my payment information?

Very. All website payments are handled through our payment provider Stripe, a PCI Service Provider Level 1 (the highest level of certification among payment providers). Sensitive payment details are never kept on Grokio Communities servers and are entirely handled by Stripe. Learn more about security at Stripe.
