ChatGPT Plus activation guide: payment, account details and subscription checks

How do you activate ChatGPT Plus through a subscription service? Review iOS and card options, guest order lookup, AuthSession submission and activation checks.

Find the ChatGPT plan you want to buy first

Find ChatGPT in the subscription store and open Plus or the available plan you need to see the current price. Then sign in to the account you want to recharge and check its plan and expiry date to establish whether this is activation or renewal.

Search results and old screenshots may show outdated prices. Review current plan prices together with activation terms when choosing a product.

iOS and card recharge are different product options and may have different account requirements. Choose an option, then check its current price and activation or renewal conditions before paying.

  • Find your required plan in the subscription store
  • Check whether the product supports your current account state

Review activation steps, then choose a payment method

The product page explains activation: account recharge orders ask for information after payment; code products first deliver a store code for use in the redemption center. Required information and steps may differ. Follow the instructions for the product you purchased.

Checkout displays available payment methods and the total. Choose a method you can use. Official subscriptions require the provider's payment options. Compare included services as well as official USD prices and our CNY prices.

  • Check whether delivery is account recharge or a code
  • Review product requirements and the total before paying
  • Check the current product page for price and availability

Where should information be submitted, and what should not be sent to support?

Submit activation information only through the designated product or order page. Support does not need your account password. Do not send passwords, recovery codes, payment verification codes or complete session data in chats or screenshots.

ChatGPT account recharge requires the complete AuthSession JSON requested by the form. It is a login credential. Submit it only through your order or the redemption form; an email address alone is insufficient. Do not send the JSON to support or include it in public screenshots.

  • Enter requested information only in the designated form
  • Keep passwords and verification codes out of chats

Return to the order after paying to complete the next steps

Return to order details after paying. Account recharge orders link to the information form, where you can submit your details and track the recharge task.

When ordering as a guest, enter your contact details, set a separate 8–72 character lookup password and save your order number. Use Guest order lookup with that number and password to track progress. Signed-in customers can open My orders.

For store code products, collect the code from your order and submit information in the redemption center. Receiving a code does not complete redemption. Do not resubmit the same task; check results as directed in the order.

  • Keep the order number first
  • Continue using this order's instructions
  • Check progress before paying again

How can you confirm activation, and what if it has not arrived?

After order processing completes, sign in to the recharged ChatGPT account and check that the subscription is active. If it has not arrived or expires early, request support from the order. Support will review the product terms and order to handle activation, refunds or compensation.

  • Check the subscription in your ChatGPT account
  • Keep your order and processing records
  • Request support from the order if a recharge has not arrived
