You can use a debit or credit card when paying an invoice from your customer account.<\/p>\n<p>If you use a saved or automatic card payment method, make sure the card details remain up to date. If a payment cannot be collected, the invoice will remain unpaid and the service may be suspended or expire if the invoice is not paid in time.<\/p>\n<h2>PayPal Payments<\/h2>\n<p>You can pay invoices using PayPal where it is available as a payment option at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>After choosing PayPal, follow the PayPal payment steps and return to your 4UHosting account once the payment is complete. If the invoice does not update shortly after payment, open a support ticket so we can check it for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Bank Transfer Payments<\/h2>\n<p>You can pay by bank transfer using the details shown during the invoice payment process.<\/p>\n<p>When paying by bank transfer, use your invoice number as the payment reference. This helps us match the payment to your account quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Bank transfers are not always instant. Please allow enough time for the payment to arrive before the invoice due date, especially for domain renewals or services close to expiry.<\/p>\n<h2>Account Credit<\/h2>\n<p>If your account has credit available, it can be used towards invoices on your account.<\/p>\n<p>Where account credit is available and an invoice is generated, the credit may be applied to that invoice automatically. If you do not want a service to renew, you should cancel it before the renewal invoice is generated.<\/p>\n<h2>Renewal Invoices<\/h2>\n<p>Renewal invoices are normally generated before the renewal date so you have time to pay.<\/p>\n<p>Annual renewals may be invoiced up to 21 days before renewal. Monthly renewals may be invoiced up to 7 days before renewal.<\/p>\n<p>You are responsible for cancelling services you do not want to renew before the renewal date.<\/p>\n<h2>Domain Renewals<\/h2>\n<p>Domain renewals should be handled carefully because domain name registrations, renewals, and transfers are normally non-refundable once submitted.<\/p>\n<p>If you receive a domain renewal invoice and you want to keep the domain, pay it before the due date. If a domain expires, the website, email, DNS, or other services linked to that domain may stop working.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want to renew a domain, make sure any renewal settings are disabled and do not pay the renewal invoice.<\/p>\n<h2>Need Help?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are unsure which payment method to use, or you think a payment has not been applied to your invoice, open a support ticket from your customer account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can pay 4UHosting invoices by debit or credit card, PayPal, bank transfer, or account credit.
