Adding or editing a payment method

You can pay for GitHub with a credit card or with a PayPal account. When you update your payment method for your account's GitHub subscription, your new payment method is automatically added to your other subscriptions for paid products.

We don't provide invoicing or support purchase orders for personal accounts. We email receipts monthly or yearly on your account's billing date. If your company, country, or accountant requires your receipts to provide more detail, you can also add extra information to your receipts.

1. In your user settings sidebar, click Billing & plans.
2. At the top of the page, under "Payment information", click Update payment method.
3. If your account has an existing credit card that you want to update, click New Card.
4. Under "Payment method", choose to pay with a credit card or PayPal.
5. Complete the payment information form, then click Submit.

Updating your organization's payment method

Only organization members with the owner or billing manager role can access or change billing settings for your organization.
