A double confirmation (accept or refuse) to authorize the cost of an additional licensed member (billing)

Ever since I can remember, I've had a hard time understanding how membership licenses versus guest members work. The line between the 2 is not clear and I have had to ask for a refund in the past.

 

This has always caused me stress. Seeing all the messages and questions surrounding member management, I can see that I am not the only one experiencing this with Miro.

 

Recently, the thing around member management got worst. I found myself paying for a member I had not invited.

 

The system confused 2 of my logins with my two Miro accounts (one paid and one free) and I was never notified that my ID. 

 

Strangely enough, after I visited a board of my free account with my paid account ID, the system considered deduced from that day that the ID of my free account would automatically become a licensed member of my paid account.

 

I never authorized this transaction and I ended up paying for a 2nd license that I did not use for several months. The only way I could do this was to check my invoice. This I did a few months later with all the complications that this entailed.

 

My trust in Miro and the billing was affected.

 

However, I use several platforms like Google suite or Canvas in the same way and I have never had this problem. The platforms always proactively notify me if there are any charges so I can make the decision (Accept or refuse).

 

So I strongly suggest that the Miro system ask for implied permission (accept or refuse) before incurring fees for additional team member licenses.

 

I guess I'm not the first one to have suggested this improvement to the system.

 

Thank you for your great work. I love all the possibilities that Miro offers me.

I really support this, I also recently faced the refund situation. 

And I can’t be more grateful for getting this refund, because this write-off happened due to my inattentiveness - I didn’t understand the rules for guests and members. But at the same time, I was very confused, because I expected the platform to notify me that I was doing something that would cost me extra money, exactly at the time of this action.


I accidentally added a member to the team by clicking too fast, and didn’t realize what I did would be charged until the system prompted me to pay. The process really needs some fool-proofing. (fool here)
