Can I subscribe to a paid plan with a self-hosted server?

1 min read Original article ↗

You can purchase an offline subscription to use the paid features of Standard Notes on your self-hosted server. The purchase process differs slightly compared to the regular subscriptions, and the offline subscription requires manual activation on the Standard Notes app.

Offline subscriptions are marked at a steep discount from their hosted counterparts. This allows us to invest more time and resources in making sure the self-hosting setup is as easy and user friendly as possible, and keeps our incentives aligned with yours.

To purchase an offline subscription for your self-hosted server:

  1. Open standardnotes.com/purchase/offline
  2. Complete the purchase process to receive an offline features code via email
  3. Once you receive the code, open the Standard Notes web or desktop app, then open Preferences > General > Offline activation
  4. Paste in the code in the Activate Offline Subscription section
  5. Activate a server-side subscription on your self-hosted server

That's it! Your paid features will now be automatically reflected in the application.
