If you purchased a one-year Lumenate subscription through the Kickstarter campaign, our activation mechanism using Stripe is now ready to go ✨

Please follow the steps below to activate your subscription.

Activating your 1-year subscription

  1. Complete the backer survey: Once you pledge, Kickstarter will send you a backer survey where you can share your delivery address and your email linked to your Lumenate account (see our article: Kickstarter Backer Survey for more info).

  2. Look out for an email from Lumenate: After your backer survey is submitted, you will receive an email (Lumenate 1-Year Subscription: Kickstarter) to activate your one-year subscription which you can start whenever you want, whether that's now or when your Lumenate Nova arrives.

  3. Activate your Stripe account: As you've already paid for a year of access, the activation link will grant this before it renews at the same price (of £30 or your currency equivalent).

  4. Link the subscription to your Lumenate account: You will then receive a second confirmation email (Subscription Confirmation - Login To Access), this email has a "Magic Login Button" to use on your mobile phone to seamlessly link up the subscription to your account.

Please make sure you do not have an active subscription (with Apple or Google Play) in the Lumenate App. If you do, wait until it expires; otherwise, you'll end up with multiple live subscriptions.


Transitioning Existing Subscriptions

For users transitioning from an active subscription, to avoid multiple charges, please cancel any renewing subscriptions and wait for the expiration before activating: How do I cancel my subscription?

Troubleshooting Subscription Issues

If you encounter issues activating your subscription or notice that your membership is not linked to your account:

  • Visit your Kickstarter Profile Page to view all backed projects and verify your pledge.

  • Double-check your email inbox for the activation links.

  • Ensure you’ve completed the Kickstarter Backer Survey and provided accurate contact information, such as your Lumenate email.

  • If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact support with your Backer Number or pledge details to confirm your subscription.


For any questions or help please send us a message through in-app chat or email us at [email protected] specifying "1-year kickstarter subscription"
