Autopay

Autopay with retry and honest warnings

Save a card and we charge it automatically when an invoice is issued. If a charge fails, we retry on a schedule before taking further action. State plainly: repeated autopay failure leads to suspension of your servers and services. Keep a valid card on file or pay manually before the due date to avoid this.

  • Saved card charged automatically on invoice issue
  • Retry schedule on failed charges before further action
  • Repeated failure leads to suspension — keep a valid card on file
  • Pay manually before the due date to avoid autopay dependency

Manual

Manual payment and proof upload

Pay by bank transfer and upload your payment receipt. We reconcile the proof against the invoice before marking it paid — the invoice stays open until verification completes, so you can see the status at every step.

  • Bank transfer with proof upload and verification
  • Invoice stays open until proof is reconciled
  • Payment status visible at every step
  • No autopay required — manual payment is a first-class path
