# Adding or removing a channel slot from Buffer

:::warning
This article applies to anyone on our pay-per-channel pricing. If you'd like to learn more about these plans visit our [pricing page](https://buffer.com/pricing) or email us at [hello@buffer.com](mailto:hello@buffer.com).

:::


The cost of your subscription plan is based on the total number of channel slots available for your account.

**What counts as a channel?** Each social account you connect is a channel. For instance, a Facebook Page, Facebook Group, X/Twitter profile, Linked Page and Linked Profile would count as 5 channels.

**How many channel slots should you purchase?** One social channel fits into each channel slot. For instance, if I have a Facebook Page, a LinkedIn profile, and a Facebook group, I’ll purchase three channel slots.

**How can I add or remove channels slots?** Follow the steps below:


1. Click your profile avatar in the bottom left of your dashboard and then click ***Channels*** from the drop down menu.
2. Click ***Add or Remove Channels*** on the top of the page.

3. Click - or + depending on whether you’d like to add or remove the total number of channel slots.

4. Once you’ve decided on the total number of channel slots, you’ll see any pending payment that’s due today and the changes to your monthly or yearly payments. Click ***Confirm and Pay*** to finalize the change.
