Why your billing provider controls subscription changes

3 min read·Updated September 16, 2026

Manage renewal, refunds, and payment changes with the provider that owns the active subscription.

  • Stripe owns recurring card subscriptions purchased on the HorizonVPN website
  • Apple owns subscriptions purchased in the App Store
  • Google owns subscriptions purchased through Google Play
  • NOWPayments processes one-time website crypto invoices, which do not auto-renew
  1. 1Open Subscription in the dashboard
  2. 2Read the Billed through or payment-provider label
  3. 3Use that provider's cancellation or purchase-management flow
  4. 4Wait for the current paid access to end before trying to move an active subscription to another provider

Do not purchase the same period from a second provider to work around a provider-lock message. That can create overlapping charges without moving the original subscription.
