My friends and family are having trouble joining my Family Plan

How to fix subscription prompts for family members already added to your family plan

Updated this week

If you added someone to your Friends & Family Plan but they're still being asked to subscribe, this article will help you troubleshoot the issue.

Common reasons this happens:

  • They haven't canceled their existing Hallow subscription

  • They haven't accepted your invitation yet

  • They're logged in with a different email address


Step 1: Confirm the invitation was accepted

Check if your family member successfully joined your plan:

  1. Log in to your account at hallow.com/login

  2. Click Subscription

  3. Check the status:

    • Members: They successfully accepted and are on your plan

    • Pending: They haven't accepted the invitation yet


Step 2: Make sure they canceled their own subscription

⚠️ Important: Please make sure the new members have canceled their own single membership with Hallow, before inviting them to join your Friends & Family Plan.

If they already have an active subscription, they won't be able to join your Friends & Family Plan until they cancel it.


Step 3: Have them log in with the correct email

If they accepted the invitation but still see a prompt to subscribe, they're likely logged in with a different email address.

Have them follow these steps:

  1. Log out of the Hallow app (How to log out)

  2. Log back in using Continue with Phone or Email

  3. Enter the email address that received the Friends & Family invitation

  4. Try accessing premium content again


Troubleshooting: Invitation email not received

If you see them as "Pending" but they haven't received the invitation email:

  1. Ask them to check their spam folder for an email with the subject "Hallow Family Plan Invite"

  2. If they don't see it, cancel the pending invite and resend it with their email address


Troubleshooting: Error accepting the invitation

If they get an error when trying to accept the invitation, they may not have a Hallow account yet.

Here's how to fix it:

  1. Have them create an account at hallow.com/signup

⚠️ Important: They should only create an account—do not subscribe or start a trial. When you're invited to join a Family Plan, you don't need your own subscription. You only need to create an account and accept the invitation.

2. Once their account is created, email us at support@hallow.app and we'll add them to your plan manually

Include their email address in your message so we can help quickly!
