To be able to create a subscription in Homelok, a Salto certified installer must first set up an installation for you.
Subscription workflow
See also the section on creating installations for more details.
Creating a subscription
A Salto certified installer first creates and sets up the installation, with its corresponding hardware, before handing it over to you to manage. Certified installers have a period of 14 days to set up an installation before transferring it to their clients. See also the section in this user guide on transferring installation ownership.
Once the Salto partner transfers the installation over to you, you have a 14-day trial period, during which you can fill out the billing details in the Subscription > Payment details tab.
Note that when creating an installation you must add a billing address so invoices can be raised. The payment card details can be added later.

Payment details
Although you have a 14-day trial period, it's generally expected that once a Salto certified installer transfers the installation to you, you would then add this information to the Payment details tab.
Use the 'Add payment details' button to enter your payment method
You will only be charged once the trial period has come to an end. The first invoice comes once the trial period ends, and this includes the prorated charges from this day until the end of the current month. The following invoices will be aligned to the first day of each month.
Salto accepts all major credit and debit cards as payment methods.
