Mistakenly purchased a separate Professional Plan for a new member – want to convert to a team seat instead

Hello Figma Community & Support Team,

I made a mistake when trying to add a new member to my Professional team and need your help.

What happened:

  1. I already have a Professional Plan team (Team A, annual subscription). I wanted to invite another person and buy an additional Full Seat within Team A.

  2. However, instead of adding a seat to my existing team, I mistakenly purchased a brand new, separate Professional Plan (Team B) for that person.

  3. As a result, I am now paying for two independent subscriptions for the same person: my original Team A (for myself) and a separate Professional Plan under that user’s email.

  4. My real need is simply to add one seat inside my existing Team A.

What I have done:

  • I have removed that user’s edit access to avoid further prorated charges.

  • I have already emailed Figma Support about this, but due to the US holiday I haven’t received a reply yet.

My request:
Could you please help me by:

  • Cancelling and refunding (or refunding the unused prorated amount of) the mistakenly purchased separate Professional Plan (Team B), and

  • Allowing me to instead add a regular Full Seat for that user inside my existing Team A (or converting the already-paid amount into a team seat fee).

This way I can pay correctly for a team member, instead of having two useless subscriptions for the same person.

Thank you very much for your understanding and help.

Hi ​@MFDESIGNCelyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks for taking the time to share all of this context, I understand that an unintentional Professional plan purchase was made when you were trying to add a Full seat to your existing team.

While we’re not able to resolve billing-related requests directly in the Community forum, I was able to locate your support ticket (#1892580). Appreciate you already reaching out and including screenshots, that’s really helpful - I’ve passed along the context you shared here and escalated it internally to increase visibility.

If you’d like to cancel the extra plan in the meantime, you can do so from your team’s Admin settings:

  1. Using the browser or Figma desktop app, locate the Professional team in the file browser sidebar.
  2. Click Admin.
  3. Select the Settings tab.
  4. In the Plan section, click Cancel plan.
  5. Figma will ask you for a cancellation reason. Select the most appropriate reason and click Cancel plan.

Thanks again for reaching out here, our team will review your request and follow up with you shortly via email to help get this sorted.
