After you pay
You do not need to create an account or a password on the SOLAMAC website. Your payment and your details live in a dashboard of your own, run by Stripe, the platform that processes membership fees. Below you will find what happens after you pay and how to use that dashboard.
What happens when you pay
- 01
You pay on Stripe
Choose a plan, click Pay and fill in your details in Stripe's secure environment. SOLAMAC never receives or stores your card number.
- 02
You get a receipt by email
Once the payment is approved, Stripe sends a receipt to the email you entered. Keep that message: it confirms the payment went through.
- 03
You send your proof of status
Email solamac@gmail.com with proof that you are a student or a professional, according to the plan you chose.
