Payment & Invoice FAQ

Payments

How do I pay my invoice?

You can pay online by clicking "Pay Now" with your credit card, or transfer funds directly to our bank account using your invoice number as the reference (bank details are on your invoice).

Can someone else pay for me?

Yes. Forward our email with the invoice attached to whoever is paying. Or click "Request Amended Invoice" to have a new invoice sent directly to the bill payer within 24 hours.

Will I get a receipt?

Yes, you'll see a confirmation page after paying online, and we'll email you a copy.

Are my card details safe?

Absolutely. We use secure, encrypted payment pages and never store your credit card information.

What if my payment is declined?

Banks often block unusually large payments or payments to unfamiliar recipients. Contact your bank to authorize the transaction.

Can I pay part of my invoice?

Not with a credit card online, but you can make a partial bank transfer using the details on your invoice.
