Managing Payment Methods
You can add, update, or delete payment methods associated with your account in the Account Manager. You can add as many payment methods as you need in your account; however, ensure that you update your payment information to keep your payment methods current and to help avoid failed billing attempts. When necessary, you can remove payment methods that have expired or that you no longer want to use for future billing or purchases.
For information about how your payment methods work with renewals, see Managing Renewals for Products and Services.
Adding Payment Methods
You can set up multiple payment methods for your account and each payment method can be assigned to various products and services in your account.
When your products come up for renewal, the selected payment method is used to renew your products and services if you have auto-renew enabled. For more information, see Managing Renewals for Products and Services.
