How do I upgrade from free to Pro mid-cycle?

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.
