In the WordPress Dashboard, you can opt-in to the beta program directly from your Account page by simply checking this box and agreeing to the disclaimer prompt:

![Join the Beta Program](https://freemius.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/join-the-beta-program-1.png)

●

To access the BETA, you must be "opted-in" for marketing in case we need to alert you about potential issues. If you're not opted-in and you don't see the checkbox, you can go to the WordPress Dashboard Plugins page and then click "Opt-in" under the plugin's title China Payments Plugin.

●

The BETA is available to folks using free or paid plans with corresponding BETA features available for each plan. Sometimes only the paid plugin may have a new BETA feature at any given time, so the free version BETA may be the same as the latest stable release.

●

The BETA is a development version of the plugin. We **do not** guarantee it will work in all environments and may cause issues on your site. Be sure you have a stable backup handy before installing the BETA version. Please [contact support](https://chinapaymentsplugin.com/support/) to report any issues you may encounter.
