Questions you may have.

Do I pay before I see my website?

No. Build and check your private website first. The R395 monthly subscription starts only when you choose to put it online.

Can every business take online payments?

The payment service must approve your business first. My Winkel helps with the setup, but cannot promise that it will be approved.

What happens when my AI credit is finished?

New AI-made changes pause until you buy more credit or the next month starts. Your orders, deliveries, reports, and support keep working.
