You can set up multiple payment methods for your account. You can add credit cards, gift cards, select pay by check, etc. Each payment method can be assigned to the various products and services you have in your account. When those items come up for renewal, the selected payment method is used to renew your products and services if you have auto-renew enabled. In addition, you can designate an alternate payment method to use in the event that the primary payment method does not process.

Adding Payment Methods

You can add as many payment methods as you'd like to your account. If you have more than one payment method, you can designate one as an alternate payment method if your primary fails. See, Designating an Alternate Payment Method below.

To Add a Payment Method

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Account section, click My Payment Information.
  3. From the Payment Methods list, select No Payment Method, and then click Update Payment Option.
  4. In the Change Payment Type area on the right, select Add New Payment Type, select Credit Card, and then click Save Changes.
  5. In the New Payment Information area on the right, enter your credit card account information and your billing address information, and then click Save Changes.

Updating Your Payment Method Information

You should check and update your payment method information on a regular basis. When your credit card information changes, such as an expiration date or billing address, you can update your information to keep your payment information current and avoid your credit cards being declined.

To Update your Payment Method Information

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Account section, click My Payment Information.
  3. In the Payment Methods list, click the name of the payment method you want to update.
  4. In the Update Payment Information panel, update your payment information.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Designating an Alternate Payment Method

When you have an alternate payment method selected, if your primary payment method does not process, for example, if the credit card has expired, then your alternate payment method is used.

Follow the steps for adding a new payment method for each payment method you want to add in your account.

To Designate an Alternate Payment Method

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Account section, click My Payment Information.
  3. Above the Payment Methods list, click Alternate Payment Info.
  4. In the Payment Methods list, select the payment method you want to designate as your alternate, and then click Update Alternate Payment.
