Add a primary payment method
A primary payment method is required to purchase Cloudflare products and services. Cloudflare does not store or have access to your full card number, PIN, or PayPal password.
Note
Because some countries tax goods and services on personal accounts, you may be asked to indicate whether your Cloudflare account is personal or business to determine tax eligibility.
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the
Billing
page.
Go to
Billing
↗
Go to the
Subscriptions
page and open the
Payment methods
panel.
Select
Add Payment Method
. If no payment method is on file, the dialog opens automatically.
Choose a payment option and enter the required details:
Card
(Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, UnionPay):
Enter your card details.
Complete 3D Secure authentication if your card issuer requires it.
If applicable, add your business information for your invoice, including your
Company
and
VAT/GST Number
.
PayPal
(your linked card or bank is charged if you have insufficient funds in your PayPal account):
Select
PayPal
.
Follow the online instructions until PayPal returns you to the Cloudflare
Payment Method
form to continue setup.
Verify your
PayPal username
now appears next to the PayPal logo.
Add your account contact information as well as
Company
and
VAT/GST Number
, if applicable.
Wallets
: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and
Instant Bank Payments via Link
(US-based self-serve accounts) are also available.
Review the payment method and contact information.
To finish, select
Confirm
.
Ensure your new payment method appears in the
Payment methods
panel.
Add an additional payment method
Optionally, add an additional payment method. Cloudflare automatically retries the charge on the additional method if the primary method fails. Refer to
Additional payment method auto-retry
for details.
Note
You may receive the error message "Your account is limited to 2 payment methods, and you've reached that limit. Please remove an existing payment method before adding a new one." when trying to add additional methods.
If you are unable to add or edit a payment method,
delete a payment method
and try again.
In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the
Billing
page.
Go to
Billing
↗
Go to the
Subscriptions
page and open the
Payment methods
panel.
Select
Add Payment Method
.
Enter card details or select a supported wallet. Complete 3D Secure authentication if your card issuer requires it.
Confirm the billing address and select
Save
.
To make the additional payment method the primary method, select
Make primary payment method
.
