The Laced app
Billing Profile
Also called Billing, Billing setup, Billing details
A billing profile is the saved card, name and address Laced uses to place an order if one of your entries is selected. You create it once on the Billing screen, which flags a wrong detail with a red border and a message. In Laced a billing profile and a profile are the same object, and each one carries one entry per release.
In use: You add one card on the Billing screen and tap Create. Every entry you create afterwards uses those details, so a card that expires mid-week quietly takes that profile out of service until you fix it.
Why the billing profile comes first
Nothing in Laced works until you have created a billing profile. It is the first screen in setup for a reason. A profile that cannot pay cannot complete an order, and an entry from it is wasted before the Draw even closes.
Creating one is a single form: name, address, card, then Create. If the details pass, the profile appears on the Billing page. If a detail is wrong, the field gets a red border and a message, and the profile is not created until you fix it.
Three errors come back from Nike when a draw goes live, and the launch shows them. They are worth recognising on sight. Address Invalid almost always means Address Line 1. Card Invalid and Card Expired mean what they say.
Creating your profiles a day before, or a few hours at least, is better safe than sorry. It is a good habit, not a requirement.
A billing profile is also the unit the plans are counted in. One is free, and the paid tiers, which are auto-renewing subscriptions, add more. Each added profile is one more entry per release and each needs its own valid details. The tiers are listed on the pricing page.
