Renaming the library
Just edit the name field. Takes effect immediately on the patron-facing site and emails.
Changing the subdomain
- Edit the slug
- The new subdomain is active immediately
- The old subdomain stops working (no auto-redirect by default)
- All patron bookmarks need updating
If you need a redirect from the old subdomain, email hello@tryshelfwise.com — we can set one up for 30 days.
Changing the plan
- Pick the new plan
- Charge difference is handled immediately by Stripe
- Patron count and book count are validated against new plan limits
Changing subscription status
- Trialing → Active: starts billing immediately
- Active → Cancelled: schedules cancellation at end of period
- Any → Expired: triggers the paywall
