From 1 May 2026, OpenDIMS will transition to automatic card payment to ensure stable operations and provide access to new, intelligent AI tools. Learn how to update your account and avoid interruptions in your integrations.
From May 1, 2026, OpenDIMS will introduce an important update to our payment structure. To ensure a more stable, secure, and up-to-date platform, we’re phasing out manual billing for all accounts that aren’t on an OpenDIMS Enterprise plan. In the future, payment will be made automatically via credit card.
In this article, we’ll go over why this change benefits your business, what the consequences are of not updating, and how to get your account in order quickly.
Why switch to card payment?
The transition to automatic card payment is about more than just administration. It’s about ensuring that your business never experiences unnecessary disruptions.
1. No more manual errors and forgotten invoices
Manual invoice processing is time-consuming and vulnerable to human error. A missed email or a delayed bank transfer can lead to your account being suspended. By linking a credit card, everything runs in the background, so you can spend your time growing your business instead of keeping an eye on due dates.
2. Uninterrupted data sync and reliability
OpenDIMS is the engine of many companies’ technical setup. Our integrations handle critical data around products, inventory, and orders in real-time. If a payment fails in the old manual system, these syncs stop. With automatic checkout, you minimize the risk of your webshop integrations stalling, ensuring that your customers always see the correct stock figures and prices.
3. Faster access to new features
An automated payment platform allows us to roll out new features and modules much faster. That leads us to one of the most exciting news stories in the history of OpenDIMS.
The OpenDIMS of the future: Integrated AI
We are proud to announce that the next release of OpenDIMS will be connected to an advanced AI module. By having your payments profile in order, you’re guaranteed instant access to these tools as soon as they land.
The new AI module will be able to help you with:
-
Automatic product descriptions: Generate creative and selling copy in seconds.
-
Intelligent translation: Scale your business abroad with accurate translations directly in the system.
-
Data optimization: Get help to structure and enrich your product data automatically.
The best part is that OpenDIMS handles all the technical stuff around Large Language Models (LLMs). You don’t have to worry about API keys or technical setup – we’ve taken all the “hassle” out of it, so you can just reap the benefits.
Consequences of inaction
If you’re not on an Enterprise plan and haven’t linked a payment card by May 1, 2026, your account will be downgraded. This will cause your integrations to stop updating and you risk losing your unique system settings. We therefore encourage all our users to get this sorted out in good time.
