I purchased CapCut Pro to edit all my videos, but now when I try to export, it keeps telling me I need to upgrade to use Pro features—even though I already subscribed. When I try to repurchase, it says I'm already subscribed, yet it still won’t let me use the features unless I “join Pro.” How can I fix this? I’ve already finished editing my video and really need to upload it.
Hi,
This is a frustrating issue, but it is a common problem with CapCut Pro and other subscription-based apps. Here's how you can fix it and regain access to the Pro features without losing your work:
Step-by-Step Fix for CapCut Pro Not Recognizing Active Subscription
- Restore Purchase:
- CapCut sometimes fails to sync your subscription properly. Use the built-in "Restore Purchase" option:
- Open CapCut.
- Tap your Profile icon (bottom right).
- Tap Settings (⚙️ icon).
- Tap Restore Purchases.
- Wait a few seconds for the app to validate your subscription.
- This usually fixes the issue without needing to repurchase or reinstall.
- CapCut sometimes fails to sync your subscription properly. Use the built-in "Restore Purchase" option:
- Make Sure You're Logged into the Right Account
- Check that you're signed into the same Apple ID (on iPhone) or Google Play account (on Android) that you used to buy the subscription.
- Also check that you're logged into the correct CapCut account (especially if you signed in with TikTok or email).
- Check Your App Store Subscription Status
- To confirm that your CapCut Pro subscription is active:
- iPhone
- Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → CapCut
- Android
- Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions
- iPhone
- Make sure it says “Active.”
- To confirm that your CapCut Pro subscription is active:
- Update or Reinstall CapCut
- If the above didn’t work:
- Update CapCut to the latest version from the App Store/Play Store.
- If that fails, reinstall the app (your projects are stored in iCloud/Google Drive or locally and usually remain safe—but back them up first).
- Before reinstalling, export your project as a draft or save your project file if you can.
- If the above didn’t work:
- Contact CapCut Support (if all else fails)
- Open CapCut → Profile → Settings → Help Center or Feedback.
- Explain the problem and include a screenshot of your subscription status from the App Store or Google Play.
- They usually respond within 24–48 hours.
