Channel accounts: paid slots and overage

LinkedIn and WhatsApp accounts are paid for with slots. A slot is a small subscription that covers one connected account. You buy the slot first, then connect the account. Nothing is ever charged automatically because you connected one more account than you had paid for. Instead, Warmerly refuses the connection and offers to sell you a slot.

Prices are not listed on this page because they can change and depend on your billing currency. See Plans & limits or the pricing page, and the button on the slot card shows the exact amount before you buy.

Slots at a glance

Monthly allowances such as email verifications, LinkedIn lookups and AI credits are a different kind of limit. They reset on the 1st and are explained in Usage & limits.

LinkedIn (Warmerly Link) slots

• One slot covers one LinkedIn account: its warmup, its automated outreach, prospect search and import, and its messages in the shared Inbox.
• LinkedIn is charged immediately when you buy a slot, with no free trial, even if your workspace is still on a plan trial.
• The slot is tied to an account once you connect one. If you disconnect the account, the slot is free again and you can connect a different LinkedIn account with it. The slot keeps billing until you cancel it.
• Cancelling a slot takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for. It keeps working until then. At the end, Warmerly disconnects the LinkedIn account that was using it and removes it from your workspace. There is no refund for the rest of a period.
• If a slot payment fails, the slot becomes past due and stops covering the account. Warmup and campaign steps on that account stop until the payment is fixed.
• On an Agency plan, slots you buy are shared by the workspace and its client workspaces. Buy them in the main (parent) workspace, not inside a client workspace.

Buy a LinkedIn slot

1. Open Settings > Usage & limits and find the Warmerly Link slots card, or start from Accounts > Add > LinkedIn account when every slot is in use.
2. Click the Buy ... slot button. You go to a secure checkout that asks for a billing address and, if you are a business, an optional tax ID.
3. After payment you return to Accounts > LinkedIn. Continue with How do I connect LinkedIn.

Only people with billing permission in the workspace can buy or cancel a slot. To cancel one, use the Cancel button on its row in the same cards, described under "How do I cancel a slot?" below.

WhatsApp slots

• The number of WhatsApp numbers you can link is what your plan includes plus the slots you have bought. Settings > Usage & limits shows it on the WhatsApp numbers card, for example "2 on your plan + 1 purchased".
• Slots are bought before you link the number. If you are using every covered number, linking another is refused with a message and a Buy ... slot button.
• The same rule applies during a trial. There is no free extra number on trial.
• The count is for the whole workspace, not per person.
• A purchased slot is only tied to a specific number once you are past what your plan includes.
• If you cancel a WhatsApp slot (the Cancel button on its row), it keeps covering the number until the end of the period you paid for. The number is not disconnected. Warmerly then checks whether your workspace is above what it is covered for. If it is, the normal over-limit grace period starts, and you can buy the slot again or unlink a number.

See How do I connect WhatsApp for linking and pacing.

What happens if I have more accounts than I have paid for

The Settings > Usage & limits cards say "without a slot" (LinkedIn) or "not covered" (WhatsApp). This gives you a grace period to buy a slot or disconnect the extra account. If nothing changes, the workspace locks: sending and warmup pause until you are back inside your limits, without deleting anything. The lock and the grace period work the same way as any other plan limit, described in Plans & limits. Disconnecting the extra account clears the lock straight away.

Common problems

• "Purchase a slot before connecting." You have no free LinkedIn slot. Buy one, or disconnect an account to free one.
• "Your plan includes no WhatsApp numbers." Starter includes none. Buy a slot, or move to a plan that includes numbers.
• "You're using all N of your WhatsApp numbers." Buy another slot or unlink a number.
• I bought a slot but cannot connect. The slot becomes usable once Stripe confirms the payment. Reload Settings > Usage & limits and check the card count, and contact support if it still shows no slot after a few minutes.
• How do I cancel a slot? Open Settings > Usage & limits. The Warmerly Link slots and WhatsApp numbers cards list each paid slot with a Cancel button. Click it and read the confirmation, which shows the date the slot ends and what happens to the account. Confirm with Cancel slot. The slot then shows Ends on and that date, and keeps working until then. You are not billed again and there is no refund for the rest of the period. A LinkedIn account covered by the slot is disconnected on that date. A WhatsApp number is not disconnected. Only people with billing permission can cancel. The slot can also be cancelled from Settings > Billing with Manage billing, where each slot is a separate subscription from your plan. There is no undo button on the card. If you cancelled by mistake before the end date, contact support. Cancelling your base plan is a separate action, see Cancel or change your plan.
• Can support raise the daily sending caps? No. The daily caps on LinkedIn and WhatsApp exist to protect your accounts from being restricted or blocked, and they are not adjustable upwards.
