Automatic Charging

With a saved payment method, renewal invoices are charged automatically around their due date. You get the receipt by email and the service renews without you doing anything.

It is the single most effective way to avoid an accidental suspension.

Save a payment method under Payment methods and mark one as default — that is the one that gets charged. You can keep several on file and change the default whenever you want.

Separately from card charging, you can have invoices settled from your account credit as soon as they are issued. Turn it on from the Credit page.

It is a good pairing: keep a balance topped up and renewals are covered even if a card expires.

A failed charge is not the end of the process. We retry several times spread around the due date, and you are emailed each time an attempt fails, so an expired card gives you plenty of warning.

The invoice stays payable by hand the whole time — you can always just open it and pay it yourself.

Remove the saved payment method, or unset it as default, and nothing will be charged automatically. Renewal invoices will still be issued; you will simply have to pay them yourself before the due date.
