What Happens During My Free Trial?
What Is a Free Trial on Selgora?
When a creator offers a free trial on Selgora, they're giving you complete, unrestricted access to their content for a limited time—typically 14 days. During this period, you can explore courses, chat with AI assistants, attend live events, and participate in communities.
Here's what makes this trial special: you didn't need to enter payment information to start. No credit card. No billing address. Just your email and a password. This is called a "deferred trial" because payment is only required if you decide to continue after the trial ends.
Traditional Trial
- Enter credit card during signup
- Automatic billing when trial ends
- Must cancel to avoid charge
- More commitment upfront
Deferred Trial (What You Have)
- No payment info required
- Access stops when trial ends
- Add payment only if you want to continue
- Zero commitment upfront
Your Trial Journey (What to Expect)
You signed up with your email and password. That's it. No payment forms, no waiting. You're instantly inside the creator's member area with full access to everything.
What you can do:
- Browse all courses and lessons
- Watch videos and complete quizzes
- Chat with AI assistants
- Register for upcoming events
- Join community discussions
- Download resources and attachments
Nothing is locked. Nothing is limited. Experience the full value before deciding whether to pay.
You're in the sweet spot. You have plenty of time to explore, learn, and decide if this content is worth paying for.
At the top of every page, you'll see a countdown banner that looks like this:
This banner is friendly and informative—not pushy. It reminds you how much time remains and gives you the option to upgrade early if you're already convinced.
Pro tip: If you find immediate value in the first few days, consider upgrading early. You'll lock in access and support the creator who built this content.
As your trial winds down, the countdown banner changes color to amber/orange, creating gentle urgency:
You'll also receive reminder emails:
- 1 day before expiration: "Your trial ends tomorrow"
- On expiration day: "Add payment to keep your access"
These reminders help you avoid accidentally losing access. If you've been enjoying the content, now's the time to decide.
When your trial expires, access stops immediately. You'll see a red banner on every page:
You can't access courses, AI assistants, events, or communities anymore. Everything is locked until you add payment.
What happens next:
- If you add payment within a few days, access restores instantly
- If you don't add payment, you'll receive a final reminder email on Day 17
- After 30 days without payment, your trial is marked as permanently expired
Important: Adding payment is easy. Click "Add Payment" on the banner, complete checkout, and you're instantly back inside—right where you left off.
How to Track Your Trial Time
You never have to wonder how much trial time remains. Selgora shows you in multiple places:
The banner at the top of your screen updates in real-time. It shows days, hours, and minutes remaining. The countdown is always visible so you're never surprised when your trial ends.
Selgora automatically sends reminder emails at critical moments. Check your inbox for:
- 1 day before expiration
- On expiration day
- 3 days after expiration (final reminder)
These emails come from the creator's Selgora account. If you're not seeing them, check your spam folder and mark them as "Not Spam."
Visit your main dashboard to see all active trials in one place. If you've signed up for multiple creators' trials, each one shows independently with its own countdown.
Upgrading to Full Access
When you're ready to continue past the trial, upgrading is simple:
- Click "Upgrade Now" on the countdown banner (or anywhere you see an upgrade button)
- You'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page
- Enter your payment details (credit card or other payment method)
- Complete checkout
- Access restores immediately—you're redirected back to the page you were viewing
Once you complete payment, your account status changes from "Trial" to "Active." You keep all your progress—completed courses, quiz scores, AI conversation history, everything. It's a seamless transition from trial to paid member.
What If I Don't Want to Continue?
That's completely fine. Unlike traditional trials, you don't need to cancel anything. Just don't add payment, and your access will end when the trial expires.
Here's what happens:
- Your trial expires automatically on the scheduled date
- Access stops—you can't view content anymore
- You receive a few reminder emails in case you change your mind
- After 30 days, your trial is marked as permanently expired
- You won't be charged anything—ever
Yes. If you let your trial expire and later decide you want to come back, you can sign up again with the same email address—but only after 30 days have passed. This gives you time to reconsider without abusing the trial system.
Understanding the Countdown Banner
The banner you see at the top of every page changes based on how much time you have left:
Calm, informational. Lets you know the trial is active without creating urgency. Focus on exploring content.
Gentle reminder that time is running short. Consider whether you've seen enough value to upgrade.
Access blocked. You need to add payment to continue. All content is locked until you upgrade.
The banner stays visible across all pages—courses, events, AI assistants, communities. You can't miss it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Making the Most of Your Trial
You have full access for a limited time. Here's how to maximize that opportunity:
- Start immediately: Don't wait. Log in, explore the dashboard, and dive into content on Day 1.
- Focus on high-value content first: Identify the creator's best courses, most popular AI assistants, or upcoming events. Experience the highlights.
- Complete at least one thing: Finish a short course, attend a live event, or have a meaningful AI conversation. Completion helps you judge true value.
- Test everything: Don't just browse—engage. Complete quizzes, ask AI assistants questions, post in communities. Active use reveals quality.
- Track your progress: Pay attention to what you're learning or achieving. Is this content moving you toward your goals?
- Decide before the last day: Don't wait until Day 14 to evaluate. By Day 10, you should know whether this is worth paying for.
Add a calendar reminder for 2 days before your trial expires. This gives you time to evaluate what you've learned and make a thoughtful decision about upgrading—not a rushed last-minute choice.
What Comes After the Trial
If you decide to upgrade, you become a full member with ongoing access. Depending on the creator's offer, you'll either pay once (one-time purchase) or monthly/annually (subscription).
Here's what changes after upgrading:
- No more countdown banner: That reminder disappears. You have unlimited access.
- Continued access to everything: All courses, AI assistants, events, communities remain available.
- New content included: When the creator adds new courses or features, you automatically get access (if included in your plan).
- Billing begins: For one-time offers, that's it—one payment, lifetime access. For subscriptions, billing continues monthly or annually until you cancel.
When you upgrade, you're not just buying content—you're supporting someone who invested time and expertise to build something valuable. Your payment helps them continue creating, improving, and serving their community.
