Activation scans

Before buying an activation scan

An activation scan is the first paid private evidence run for an authorized project. It can start only when the project belongs to the correct account, account scan coverage exists, payment state is confirmed and Project Pages are ready. Use this page when Billing shows account coverage or a project payment instruction and you need to decide whether to continue setup, start checkout, enable the project service or wait for provider confirmation.

Check project eligibility

Follow the path `Project detail → Project Pages → Billing → Current plan → Actions`.

1. Open /projects and choose the project that needs its first paid private scan. Result: the project page shows Project services and the current Activation scan status.
2. Confirm setup, Project Pages and domain authorization. Result: the service blocker is limited to account coverage when the project prerequisites are done.
3. Open /billing while signed in as an owner, admin or billing manager for the account that owns the project. Result: Billing shows the current plan, credits and project dependencies.
4. Read Current plan and Credits. Result: you know whether Free preview, Basic, Plus or Pro can cover the activation scan.
5. Return to the project page and read Project Pages and Actions. Result: the project tells you whether to discover pages, verify the domain, start checkout, wait for provider confirmation or switch accounts.

Start checkout safely

Click Start checkout only when Billing shows the selected account entitlement as eligible and checkout is enabled. The first paid scan checkout route is `/checkout/basic` or the current Basic checkout alias when Basic is available. If Billing or the project shows Continue, use that action first because the project still needs setup, Project Pages, domain authorization or service readiness before payment is useful.

• Free is the no-payment proof step with a tiny credit allowance and full-quality AI analysis on very little volume.
• Basic is the first paid plan for one small project, private reports and included credits.
• Plus adds more credits, monitoring, retests and richer reporting.
• Pro adds larger pooled credits, remediation automation and team/client workflow.

Wait for payment and service readiness

After provider checkout, return to Billing and wait for payment confirmation before relying on the entitlement or credits. WebRiskOps uses provider-confirmed billing records rather than the browser return page as the source of truth. Then return to the project and enable Activation scan if it is not already enabled.

• Payment confirmation pending means checkout started, but the entitlement is not usable yet.
• Provider IDs pending means checkout cannot open because provider configuration is not ready.
• Project Pages required means billing may be ready, but the scanner cannot run until public pages are discovered and reviewed.
• Project service blocked means the Activation scan service still needs project setup, Project Pages, domain verification or account coverage before it can run.
• Buyer classification required means project intake does not yet prove whether the requested plan matches the account.
• Unsupported target means reduce the scan boundary; payment does not make unsupported targets eligible.
• Wrong account means switch to the account that owns the project and billing record.

Continue to the first scan

When Billing no longer shows a payment or entitlement blocker, open [Review project pages](/docs/getting-started/accept-scan-scope) if Project Pages are not ready yet. After Project Pages, billing and domain state are ready, continue to [Run the first scan](/docs/getting-started/run-first-live-audit).
