Primary payment methods and additional payment methods are stored in your OnceHub Account in the Billing  → Payment methods section. You can add or remove payment methods at any time. You can also change the primary payment method as needed.

In this article, you'll learn about managing payment methods in your OnceHub Account.

Requirements

To manage payment methods, you must be a OnceHub Administrator.

Supported payment methods

OnceHub supports all major credit cards and debit cards. Supported cards include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB. OnceHub also supports PayPal.

Primary payment method

When you purchase a product for the first time, the payment method you use is stored as the primary payment method in the Billing → Payment methods section of your OnceHub Account. You can only have one primary payment method at a time. 

You can also add an additional payment method and then set it as your primary payment method in the Billing → Payment methods section.

Additional payment methods

Additional payment methods are stored in your OnceHub Account and are only used when you select them. 

Storing additional payment methods allows you to switch payment methods when making one-off purchases, resuming payment after a failed recurring payment, or changing the payment method used for recurring payments. You can store as many additional payment methods in your OnceHub Account as you need.

Adding a payment method in the Payment methods section

If you've already purchased a OnceHub product subscription, you can add a payment method at any time.

1. Sign in to your OnceHub Account. 
2. Select the gear icon in the top navigation menu → Billing → Payment methods. Figure 1: Payment methods section
3. Click the Add payment method button.
4. The Add payment method pop-up will appear. 

You can now decide if you want to add a credit card or a PayPal account.

The PayPal payment method is added to your OnceHub Account as an additional payment method.

Setting an additional payment method as the primary payment method

Changing the payment method used for recurring payments

Recurring monthly or annual subscription payments are automatically charged to the primary payment method. 

We will select the previously-selected payment method as the default payment method. To use a different payment method for recurring payments, you'll need to add it as an additional payment method and then set it as the primary payment method.

Using a payment method on file to make a one-off purchase

When you make a one-off purchase on your OnceHub Account, such as purchasing SMS credits, you can choose to pay with a payment method you have already added or pay with a new payment method (Figure 4). 

• If you choose to pay using an existing additional payment method, the additional payment method automatically becomes your primary payment method. The previous primary payment method will become an additional payment method.
  
• If you choose to use a new payment method, the new payment method will be stored in the Payment methods section and become your primary payment method. The previous primary payment method will become an additional payment method.

Recovering from a failed recurring payment

If we are unable to process your payment at the start of your billing cycle, you will be prompted to establish a new recurring payment method to settle the outstanding payment and resume your subscription. 

The new payment method will be stored in the Payment methods section and become your primary payment method. The previous primary payment method will become an additional payment method.
