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 or PayPal
In the payment dialog, chooseCredit Card or PayPal. Both open the same secure checkout from Paddle, which shows every method it can accept for your account, including cards, PayPal and supported wallets.
Paddle is the merchant of record for these payments, so it may add VAT or sales tax depending on where you live. The tax is shown before you pay.
To have a service renew on its own, turn on Pay this automatically on the service’s billing tab. Renewals are then charged through Paddle until you cancel. You can see and cancel everything that is charged automatically on the “Recurring Payments” page.
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.Legacy Stripe and PayPal
If your account was created before September 29th, 2026, you can also pay through our previous payment processors, Stripe and PayPal. Accounts created on or after that date do not see these options. ChooseLegacy in the payment dialog, pick Stripe or PayPal (Legacy), and press pay. You are sent to the invoice in the client area to finish paying.
These payments are not taxed by Paddle. The legacy option is available on a single invoice, when paying several invoices at once from the “Invoices” page, and when adding funds.
When you pay several invoices at once through a legacy gateway, they are combined into one payment in the client area. That combined payment is cancelled if it is not paid within 30 minutes.
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 console does not store cards. Cards saved under our previous payment processor are listed on the “Legacy Payment Methods” page, where you can remove them. They are no longer used for new payments.Frequently Asked Questions
