Overview
You pay for services in the Ascienth console. Invoices and top-ups are paid from a payment dialog that lists the methods available to you. New servers are paid from your account credit, so you add funds with one of these methods first.A method only appears when it is switched on. If the payment dialog says there is no way to pay in the console, open a ticket in the client area.
Credit Card
In the payment dialog, chooseCredit Card. You are taken to Stripe’s secure checkout page, where you can pay by card or with a supported wallet. The invoice is marked paid once Stripe confirms the payment, which usually takes a few seconds.
A one-time card payment does not renew. To have a service renew on its own, turn on Pay this automatically on the service’s billing tab and save a card on Stripe’s page. Stripe then charges each renewal to that card until you turn it off. When an invoice can renew automatically, the dialog may also offer Credit Card (auto-renew), which pays the invoice and sets up automatic renewals in one step.
PayPal
In the payment dialog, choosePayPal. You can pay in one of two ways:
- Go to PayPal. You are sent to PayPal to finish paying. Your PayPal account is not saved.
- Pay with a saved PayPal account. Turn on
Pay with a saved PayPal accountand choose the account. The payment is taken without leaving the console. ChooseAdd a new PayPal accountto save one first: you are sent to PayPal to approve it and then brought back to pay.
Cryptocurrency
Choose the cryptocurrency option to pay once in Bitcoin or another supported coin. A crypto payment does not renew, so pay each renewal invoice yourself or keep enough account credit on your account. Confirmations can take a few minutes, and the invoice is marked paid once the transaction confirms.Tebex
If your account was created before September 29th, 2026, you can also pay through Tebex in the client area. Accounts created on or after that date do not see this option. ChooseLegacy in the payment dialog, pick Tebex, and press pay. You are sent to the invoice in the client area to finish paying.
Tebex is offered when paying a single invoice from its page and when adding funds. It is not offered when paying several invoices at once.
NOWPayments
NOWPayments is only available to accounts that were created in the client area before August 24th, 2026. If your account was created on or after that date, it does not appear as an option. When it is available, you find it underLegacy in the payment dialog.
Saved Payment Methods
The “Payment Methods” page under “Billing” lists the PayPal accounts you have saved, and which services each one pays automatically. Cards you use with Stripe are kept by Stripe, not by the console. Cards saved in the client area under our older billing system are listed on the “Legacy Payment Methods” page, where you can remove them. They are no longer used for new payments.Frequently Asked Questions
