Account, plans & billing
Change preferences and understand trial, licence, price and Stripe status.
Interface language
Choose English or German under Account, then save. The dashboard, editor, generated instructions and future exports follow the active language. The help centre opens in English by default.
Crochet terminology
Choose English (US), English (UK) or German. This changes stitch names and abbreviations in written instructions and PDFs; it does not change the chart itself.
Units
Choose Metric or Imperial for measurements shown by the account. Finished-size project creation currently asks for centimetres in the interface.
Trial and read-only access
The Access card shows remaining trial days or licence status. When editing access ends, projects remain visible but creating, changing or exporting may be disabled until a plan is active.
Your reserved price
The price tier assigned when the account was created stays attached to that account even if the public entry price changes later. The Subscription panel shows plan, price, status and current period end.
Stripe checkout and portal
When Stripe is enabled, “Activate plan” starts secure checkout. After a Stripe customer exists, “Manage subscription in Stripe” opens a short-lived portal for payment methods, invoices, plan changes and cancellation. Design2Pattern does not store complete card details.
