Payments & Ghost Points

How do payments work?

Online checkout is hosted by Stripe. The payment methods available to you depend on the purchase, currency, and checkout eligibility. Review the amount, currency, and whether the purchase renews before confirming. Customers with an active auto-renewing subscription can open the Stripe customer portal from account billing to view billing details and invoices. For one-time membership or top-up receipts, or when the portal is unavailable, contact support.

Compare plans and payment options

What is the difference between subscription GP and top-up GP?

Ghost Points (GP) are credits used for generation and other supported features. Subscription GP refreshes to the plan allowance each month and does not roll over. GP bought as a top-up does not expire. Costs vary by model and settings; check the displayed cost before generating.

Plan changes & refund requests

How do I change or cancel a subscription?

If you have an active auto-renewing subscription, sign in and open account billing, then use the billing management option to open the Stripe customer portal. Check the effective date and confirmation shown there. A cancellation scheduled for the end of a paid period leaves access in place until that date. A one-time 30-day membership pass does not renew automatically. If the option you need is unavailable, contact support.

Manage billing

How do I request a refund or report a payment problem?

Email support@localbanana.io with your account email, order or invoice reference, payment date, and a short explanation. Please contact us if payment completed but the purchase is missing from your account. A refund request is reviewed individually; submitting it does not guarantee approval or a particular processing time. Cancelling renewal and requesting a refund are separate actions.

Generation & troubleshooting

What should I do if generation fails or seems stuck?

Check your generation history and connection before submitting the same request again. If the problem persists, send support the model, settings, approximate time, generation ID if available, and the visible error. If the GP balance looks incorrect, mention it in the same request. Share only the minimum prompt or image information needed to explain the issue.

Why does the result differ from the prompt or gallery example?

AI output can vary between runs and may contain errors. Model, image references, settings, and prompt wording affect the result. Gallery examples are inspiration, not a guarantee of an identical output. Review details such as text, faces, and product claims before using or publishing an image.

Account & data

How do I ask about my data or request deletion?

Email support@localbanana.io from the address associated with your account and describe your request. We may need to verify account ownership before handling it. Ask about the scope of deletion and any records that need to be retained; do not assume that removing one image or cancelling a subscription deletes all account or billing records.

Read the privacy policy

How should I protect my uploads and API key?

Upload only material you are entitled to use and avoid unnecessary sensitive information. Prompts and reference images may be processed by providers used for the selected model. Where bringing your own API key is supported, a key saved in your browser is still sent with a generation request for server-side processing; it is not a browser-only workflow. Never send a key to support.
