Do I need to know how to code to use Dot.vu?
No, no coding or impressive IT skills are required to use Dot.vu. There are two ways to work on our platform: you can use our ready-to-be-customized templates or create your own project from scratch using our comprehensible drag & drop editor. Both ways are intuitive and code-free.

We see Dot.vu as your go-to tool to create Interactive Content at scale. Therefore, it is important for us that you can integrate Dot.vu with your other software and online tools.

Learn more on Dot.vu/pricing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards.
Plus, for yearly memberships, we also offer manual invoicing.
How does your billing system work?
Both Basic and Premium subscriptions can be either paid monthly or annually. They are risk-free and can be canceled at any point in time before a new month starts. They are renewed on the purchase date, which is the starting date of your subscription. You also have the option of disabling the auto-renewal. If you opt to be billed annually, you will save 20%.
What happens if I exceed the monthly visitor limits included in my subscription?
If you exceed your monthly visitors, you will receive an email from us, asking you to upgrade to another subscription plan. Your live Interactive Content will continue to function as normal, and you will still be able to access your account and all your data will still be available to you.
What are the subscription limitations for larger companies/enterprises?
All of our subscriptions are intended for a single company or brand. Therefore, if you have a more complex organization/enterprise and want to include more business units, brands, companies, and countries in your subscription, you should look into the Enterprise subscription, which is custom-made based on your needs.
Can I change my plan at any time?
Yes, at Dot.vu, we allow you to upgrade your subscription at any time during your subscription period. For instance, if you chose a basic subscription and decided to upgrade to a premium subscription in the middle of your payment period, you will be upgraded immediately and only be charged the difference.
You can also decide to downgrade to a lower subscription. However, keep in mind that not all subscriptions offer the same number of integrations, live projects, and team members. So, if you want to downgrade to a lower subscription, you will have to make sure you can comply with it. For example, this means that if you have 4 live projects and you want to downgrade to a subscription that only allows for 1 live project, you will be kindly asked to unpublish 3 of your projects, so you only have 1 live project.
In other words, you will be notified of what is required for you to downgrade before you take the decision, so you can decide if it’s the right thing to do.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription plan at any point in time before your next period starts by stopping the automatic renewal. Then, at the end of your current subscription, all your projects will automatically go offline. However, they will still be available on your account.
Please find further information in our Terms of Service.
How can I cancel my subscription?
To cancel your subscription, you can simply disable the automatic renewal setting from your dashboard when you are logged in on Dot.vu
What happens to all my content and data if I cancel my subscription?
When you cancel your subscription plan, at the end of your current period, all your live projects will automatically go offline. However, the data you collected, and all your assets will be accessible for a limited amount of time to ease your transition.
All collected data and analytics will be accessible for 30 days after the subscription ends, and all other assets - i.e., account, users and roles, projects, uploaded media - will be accessible for 12 months in case you wish to reactivate your subscription and reuse content.
