# One account, one billing owner

One Selvette account can cover Studio and several stores, but only one place owns its recurring subscription.

The billing owner is either:

* one connected Shopify store; or
* Studio card billing.

All surfaces use the same plan and credit balance.

## Shopify owns billing

* Change or cancel the plan in the bill-owning store's Shopify App under **Plan & billing**.
* Studio shows **Managed through Shopify** and does not show a second card plan picker.
* Other connected Shopify stores point to the bill-owning store instead of offering another plan.

## Studio owns billing

* Manage the card, invoices, cancellation, and plan from Studio **Account → Plan & billing**.
* Connected Shopify stores point back to Studio and do not offer a second Shopify plan.

## Connecting accounts safely

Selvette allows a paid account to connect to an unpaid account. It refuses a paid-to-paid merge and asks you to cancel one plan first.

## Move from Shopify billing to card billing

There is no automated billing migration.

1. Cancel the Shopify subscription in the bill-owning store.
2. Continue using it through the end of its paid period.
3. When the Shopify subscription lapses, open Studio **Account → Plan & billing**.
4. The card plan picker reappears automatically.
5. Choose the card-billed plan.

This avoids overlapping subscriptions. Do not start a separate Studio plan while the Shopify plan is still active.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.selvette.com/credits-and-billing/billing-owner.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
