Add or update a payment method

Your payment methods are managed through the WordPress.com account that you created or used when signing up for Automattic for Agencies. You can add, remove, or update cards, assign a different payment method to each subscription, and set a backup payment method in case your primary card fails.

In this guide, you will learn how to access your payment methods, manage your saved cards, and update the payment method on a specific subscription.

1. Navigate to the Automattic for Agencies portal
2. Navigate to Purchases
3. Click “Payment Methods” in the left sidebar

This opens your WordPress.com account where your saved cards are listed.

1. Click the “Add payment method” button on the payment methods page.
2. Enter your name and card details.
3. Click “Save card”.

You can assign the card to a specific subscription or use it for all purchases.

A backup payment method is used automatically if your primary card fails during a scheduled payment. Setting a backup helps prevent missed payments and service interruptions.

1. Navigate to your payment methods page.
2. Locate the card you want to use as a backup.
3. Check the box labeled “Use as backup”.

You can assign a different payment method to each individual subscription. Changing the card on one subscription does not affect any other subscriptions on your account.

1. Navigate to your subscriptions page.
2. Select the subscription you want to update.
3. Click the “Change Payment Method” button below the subscription details.
4. Select a saved card, or add a new one.
5. Confirm the change.

1. Navigate to your payment methods page.
2. Locate the card you want to remove.
3. Click Delete next to the card.

Depending on your region, additional payment options such as PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay may be available during checkout. For details on these options, visit the WordPress.com payment methods guide.
