Where do you manage your Nitro settings? Everything related to payments, including canceling subscriptions and updating credit cards, is handled in the “User Settings” menu under two specific tabs: “Subscriptions” and “Billing.”
Managing your Discord payments shouldn’t be a mystery. Whether you need to download a receipt for tax purposes, update an expired credit card, or switch your Nitro plan from monthly to yearly, this guide covers every step of the process.
⚙️ How to Manage Your Subscriptions (Nitro & Boosts)
If you want to check when your next payment is due or cancel your plan, the “Subscriptions” tab is your command center.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open Discord and click the Gear Icon (User Settings) in the bottom left.
- Select “Subscriptions” from the left sidebar.
- Here, you will see a dashboard displaying:
- Current Plan: Your active Nitro or Server Boost subscriptions.
- Renewal Date: Exactly when you will be charged next.
- Billing Amount: The total price for the next cycle.

To Cancel or Change Plans: Click the “Cancel” or “Switch Plans” button next to the specific subscription in this menu.

❓ FAQ: Common Billing Questions
We have compiled the most frequent issues users face regarding payments.
Troubleshooting
Q: My payment failed. What should I do?
A: First, check if your card has expired or if you have sufficient funds. If the issue persists, contact your bank. If the bank says the card is fine, submit a ticket to Discord Support.
Q: Why can’t I remove my credit card?
A: As mentioned above, you cannot remove a card that is paying for an active Nitro subscription. You must either cancel the subscription or add a new card and set it as the “Default” first.
Q: What does “DISCORD*ItemName” mean on my bank statement?
A: This is the standard descriptor Discord uses for charges. It verifies that the charge came from Discord.
Plans & Switching
Q: Can I transfer my Nitro subscription to another account?
A: No. Subscriptions are non-transferable. You cannot move a plan to a different user or account.
Q: What happens if I switch from Monthly to Yearly Nitro?
A: You will not be refunded. Instead, Discord calculates a “prorated” adjustment. The remaining value of your monthly plan is applied as a discount (credit) toward the new yearly price.
Q: What is “Proration”?
A: Proration is the calculation Discord uses when you change plans mid-cycle. It ensures you don’t lose money for the days you already paid for.
Q: Can I change my billing date?
A: No. Your billing date is automatically set to the day you first subscribed. The only way to change it is to cancel your plan, wait for it to expire, and resubscribe on the day you prefer.
🌟 Conclusion
Discord’s billing system is designed to be transparent. Just remember:
