Paid accounts have access to additional features. fixerapi uses this information to activate SSL encryption.

The fixer.io API still checks the account type when receiving requests, so setting you account type here only forces HTTPS instead of HTTP. If you have a paid account but do not set your account status you will not be able to use the HTTPS connection but there will be no other affect on your usage of the API.
