Coinepay | How to Pay for Dribbble with a Virtual Card (Step-by-Step Guide)

Dribbble is where designers show their work, get discovered and find clients. Its paid tiers unlock portfolio and Pro features that many freelancers and studios rely on. This guide explains how to use a Coinepay virtual card to subscribe to Dribbble Pro, what to prepare before checkout, and how to work through the most common reasons a card gets declined. For anything price- or availability-specific, always confirm on Dribbble's own pages before you buy.

What you need before you start

Paying for an online subscription goes more smoothly when everything is ready in advance. Gather the following:

A verified Coinepay account. You must register and complete identity verification (KYC) before you can use card services.
A Coinepay virtual card issued in your dashboard, with its card number, expiry date and CVV ready to copy. You can manage cards from the Coinepay dashboard or the mobile app (iOS / Android).
Enough balance on the card to cover the plan you choose plus any currency conversion that may apply.
Your real billing details — name and billing address exactly as they appear on your Coinepay account. Using accurate information helps the payment pass verification checks.
A Dribbble account, or an email address to create one.

Dribbble documents that Pro subscriptions are paid by credit or charge card through a third-party gateway (its terms name Stripe and PayPal). The specific card brands accepted at the live Pro checkout are not published, so if your card is declined, follow the troubleshooting steps below or contact Coinepay support to confirm your card details before you buy.

Choose your Dribbble plan

Dribbble offers a Free tier plus three paid subscription tiers: Pro Lite, Pro Standard and Pro Plus. This Lite/Standard/Plus structure was introduced in December 2025. At the time of writing (October 2026), the documented recurring prices in Dribbble's payment terms were:

Tier	Monthly	Annual
Pro Lite	$8 USD	$48 USD ($4/mo)
Pro Standard	$16 USD	$96 USD ($8/mo)
Pro Plus	$199 USD	$1,188 USD ($99/mo)

Dribbble also lists hiring products separately — Post a job at $150 USD/month and Hiring Suite at $300 USD/month — which are not the same as a Pro subscription. Prices and any promotional banners can vary by region and over time, and the amount actually charged at checkout is confirmed only once you reach the payment screen. Check the official Dribbble Pro and pricing pages for the current figure before you confirm.

Step-by-step: subscribe and pay

Create or open your Dribbble account. Sign-up starts with an email address on the Dribbble signup page; if you already have an account, sign in instead.
Go to the Pro page. Open Dribbble's Pro pricing page and compare Pro Lite, Pro Standard and Pro Plus. Decide between monthly and annual billing — annual bills a larger amount up front but at a lower monthly equivalent.
Select a tier. Click the Get Started action for the plan you want. This leads toward a hosted checkout.
Open your Coinepay card details. In the Coinepay app or dashboard, open the virtual card you want to use and have the number, expiry and CVV ready to copy.
Enter your payment details. Type your Coinepay card number, expiry date and CVV into the checkout form. For the billing name and address, enter exactly what is on your Coinepay account.
Complete any security step. If your bank prompts a 3-D Secure confirmation, approve it in the Coinepay app or via the verification method shown.
Confirm and review. Check the total, tier and billing period on the final screen, then submit. Keep the confirmation for your records.

Dribbble Pro bills in advance and renews automatically on the applicable monthly or annual date unless you cancel before renewal, so make sure your card keeps enough balance for the next cycle.

Where to manage billing later

Once subscribed, go to Account Settings → Billing. That page shows your active Pro tier, renewal date and billing details, and lets you edit the card on file. If you need to switch to a different Coinepay card, update it here before the next renewal date. If you manage a team, team billing must be edited while the Team Owner is using Dribbble as the Team, not on the owner's personal billing page.

Troubleshooting: card declined or payment failed

Dribbble says it typically receives only a generic card-decline reason from the gateway and advises contacting your issuing bank. Work through these common causes:

Insufficient balance

Make sure the card holds enough to cover the full charge — especially the larger up-front amount on an annual plan — plus any currency conversion if the charge is in USD and your card settles in another currency. Top up in the Coinepay app and try again.

Billing address or name mismatch

If the name or billing address you typed does not match your Coinepay account details, the payment can be rejected. Re-enter them exactly as they appear in Coinepay.

3-D Secure not completed

If a verification prompt appears and is not approved in time, the charge fails. Keep the Coinepay app handy to confirm the authentication, then retry the checkout.

Merchant or region checks

Dribbble's terms bar use by residents of countries embargoed by Canada or the United States and by blocked or denied persons. A full country-by-country Pro checkout availability list is not published. If you believe your card should work but the charge still fails, the issuer may be blocking the transaction — contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets the merchant's requirements before you try again.

Recurring-payment rules (e.g. India)

India's central bank requires extra authentication for recurring-card e-mandates. Whether a particular card or renewal is affected is not something we can confirm here; if an automatic renewal fails, check the Billing page and your bank's app for a pending authentication.

Failed renewal

On a failed Pro renewal, Dribbble retries payment and access does not end immediately, but it can lapse after repeated failures. Fix the underlying issue (balance, card details or authentication) promptly to avoid losing access.

Tip: If the Pro page shows a promotional banner but the charged amount looks different, rely on the explicit recurring USD rates in Dribbble's payment terms and confirm the final total on the checkout screen before submitting.

Cancellations and refunds

To cancel, go to Account Settings → Billing → Cancel Subscription and wait for the confirmation page. Cancel before your next billing date to avoid renewing; access continues through the paid period. Dribbble's Pro support policy lets it process a refund within three days of an initial or renewal charge, unless Project Brief credits were used or a partner offer redeemed, and no partial or prorated refunds are offered. Its general terms state subscriptions are ordinarily non-refundable, so read both together and act quickly if you need a refund.

Need help with your Coinepay card?

If a payment keeps failing and you have ruled out balance, address and authentication issues, reach out through Coinepay support or our Telegram channel. The team can help confirm your card setup. Note that card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions, and some services are not available in every jurisdiction.
