Step-by-Step Instructions

Join the Midjourney Discord Server

Visit midjourney.com and click Join the Beta. This will redirect you to Discord where you'll join the official Midjourney server. If you're not logged into Discord, you'll need to sign in first.

Make sure you're joining the official Midjourney server - look for the verified checkmark next to the server name.

Navigate to a Bot Channel

Once in the server, look for channels labeled newbies followed by numbers (like #newbies-1, #newbies-2, etc.) in the sidebar. Click on any of these channels to enter a space where you can interact with the Midjourney bot.

You can also use general bot channels, but newbie channels are specifically designed for new users.

Type the Subscribe Command

In the message box at the bottom of the channel, type /subscribe and press Enter. The Midjourney bot will respond with subscription options and a link to manage your account.

Click the Account Page Link

The bot will send a message with a button or link labeled Open subscription page or similar. Click this link to open Midjourney's account management website in your browser.

If the link doesn't work, you can also visit account.midjourney.com directly and sign in with your Discord account.

Sign In and Select Basic Plan

On the account page, sign in using your Discord credentials. You'll see subscription plan options displayed. Look for the Basic Plan which costs $10/month and includes 3.3 hours of Fast GPU time. Click Subscribe next to the Basic Plan.

Compare the features of each plan to ensure Basic meets your needs - it includes commercial usage rights but limited GPU hours.

Enter Payment Information

Fill out the payment form with your credit card details or select PayPal as your payment method. Enter your billing address, card number, expiration date, and CVV code. Review the terms of service if needed.

Midjourney subscriptions auto-renew monthly, so make sure you're comfortable with recurring billing.

Complete the Subscription

Click Subscribe Now or Complete Purchase to finalize your subscription. You'll receive a confirmation email and your Discord account will be automatically upgraded with Basic Plan privileges.

Keep your confirmation email for your records - it contains important subscription details.

Verify Your Subscription

Return to the Midjourney Discord server and type /info in any bot channel. The bot will display your current subscription status, remaining GPU hours, and plan details to confirm your Basic Plan is active.

Your subscription should be active immediately, but if you don't see the upgrade, wait a few minutes and try the /info command again.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

The /subscribe command isn't working

Make sure you're in a proper bot channel (like #newbies channels) and that you've typed the command correctly with the forward slash. If it still doesn't work, try refreshing Discord or switching to a different bot channel.

Payment was processed but subscription isn't showing

Wait up to 10 minutes for the system to update. Try using /info command again. If the issue persists, contact Midjourney support through their Help Center on their website with your payment confirmation.

Can't access the subscription page link

Try opening the link in an incognito/private browser window or directly visit account.midjourney.com. Ensure you're logged into the same Discord account you used to join the server.

Credit card payment is being declined

Verify your card details are correct and that your card supports international payments (Midjourney processes payments internationally). Try using PayPal as an alternative payment method or contact your bank to approve the transaction.
