Once you purchase Promoter, you’ll create an account at promoter.theeventscalendar.com, this is where you’ll connect Promoter to your WordPress site as well and create and manage email communication for your events.
Promoter subscriptions are annual and can be canceled any time during the subscription.
If you cancel your subscription, you will still be able to use Promoter normally throughout the remainder of your annual subscription. You simply will not be charged at the next billing cycle.
