Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All subscriptions are month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime from your subscriber dashboard and you'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier?
Absolutely. You can change your tier at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal, accessible from your subscriber dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major credit and debit cards are accepted through Stripe's secure checkout. Your payment information is never stored on our servers.
Is this different from Stacked's consulting services?
Yes. The Learning Hub is a self-serve education platform. Consulting services are separate and involve direct engagement with the Stacked team. Hub subscribers can still book a discovery call to explore consulting.
What if I'm between tiers?
Start with the tier that best matches where you are today. You can always upgrade as your brand progresses. The Startup tier is the most popular choice for founders actively building toward launch.
What Hub Members Are Saying
Founders and operators who used the CPG Learning Hub to navigate their most critical decisions.
The CPG Learning Hub alone was worth every penny. I went from completely lost on labeling compliance to confidently reviewing our own spec sheets. The courses are practical, not theoretical — exactly what a founder needs.
As a first-time CPG founder, I had no idea what I didn't know. The Ideation tier of the Learning Hub gave me a complete map of the process before I spent a single dollar on development. That foundation changed everything.
Stacked MFG took our supplement concept from a napkin sketch to a production-ready formula in under four months. They navigated every co-man conversation, kept us on timeline, and saved us from at least three costly mistakes we didn't even know we were about to make.
