Create a subscription
A workspace subscription unlocks paid capacity: seats, credits, WhatsApp instances, AI usage, calling, and plan-gated modules. Open Settings → Billing → Subscriptions (/subscription-management). Activate after Billing Details (Billing Name, tax fields) and before heavy integration or campaign work. Related links on the same Billing card: Credits Management, Invoices, Usage. Limit errors during invite or WhatsApp connect usually mean seat or instance caps—upgrade here.
