How does purchasing through Unlimit differ from paying directly to Anthropic?
Direct subscription is made in the Claude interface according to the terms of Anthropic. In Unlimit, you pay for a separate activation order for the specified Organization ID. SBP refers to in-store payment; this is not a promise that such a method is available in the official form of Anthropic.
Check that you need a Claude subscription for your personal account. This is different from the Claude Console balance for the API. If the task is to connect the model to your application via API, purchasing Pro will not replace paying for the API.
| What to check | Direct subscription | Order in Unlimit |
|---|---|---|
| Where to pay | In Claude or a supported app store | On the Claude product page |
| How an account is determined | Account opened in the payment interface | Organization ID you specified |
| Where to look at the amount | In the official form | In the purchase widget before payment |

Prepare your Claude account before purchasing
Log in to the desired personal profile and check your current subscription. The FREE condition applies to the Unlimit activation method and does not apply to all Claude purchase options. If the paid period is still valid, wait until it ends: disabling renewal does not in itself mean that the account has already become free.
You can use an account that previously had a subscription, or an account without a previous subscription. The provider recommends account age greater than seven days due to the risk of recently created profiles being blocked. This is the supplier's recommendation and not a guarantee that there will be no restrictions.
Don't create a new profile just for the sake of purchasing if the existing one is already suitable. Before paying, make sure that you have saved access to your account and will be able to check its plan after activation.
The desired personal profile has been selected.
Account status is FREE.
Until the order is completed, another subscription to the same profile is not issued.

How to pay Claude via SBP: sequence of steps
On the Claude page, select SBP. Check the plan name, duration and amount: it is the purchase form that shows the available offer. If you have a promotional code, apply it and wait for the final price to update.
Get the Organization ID from the desired account and paste it into the form. Then enter your notification email: it may be different from your Claude login address. Check the ID again and confirm the activation conditions.
Click “Proceed to Payment” and follow the payment details of the created order. After payment, save your order number. Closing the banking application does not replace checking the payment status on the store page.
If the offer or amount has not yet loaded, wait for the available price. Do not transfer money using details from another order.

Payment went through, but Claude Pro has not yet appeared
Check your order status first. If the payment is confirmed, activation may take up to 12 hours from this point. There is no need to pay for the same order again. While you wait, leave your account in FREE status.
When the order is completed, update Claude and check the subscription in the profile whose Organization ID you specified. If a different organization or account is selected, the result may not be visible in the current window.
If more than 12 hours have passed or you have found an error in the ID, contact Unlimit support with your order number. To verify your order, do not submit your password, login codes, or active session details.
