# Create billing profile

## 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

Customers on an [Enterprise plan ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/enterprise/contact/) have [additional payment options](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/get-started/create-billing-profile/#payment-options) such as wire and ACH, as well as yearly or quarterly billing.

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Billing** page.  
[ Go to **Billing** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/billing)
2. Select **Payment**. If no payment method is on file, the **Payment methods** dialog opens automatically.
3. Select **Manage** next to your current payment method. The **Manage payment methods** dialog opens.
4. Enter the required information based on the payment options below:**Credit card**:  
   1. Enter the required information under the **Credit Card Details** form.  
   2. If applicable, add your business information to your invoice, including your **Company** and **VAT/GST Number**.  
**PayPal** (Your credit card will be charged if you have insufficient funds in your PayPal account):  
   1. Select the **PayPal**.  
   2. Follow the online instructions until PayPal returns you to the Cloudflare **Payment Method** to continue your set-up.  
   3. Verify your **PayPal username** now appears next to the PayPal logo.  
   4. Add your account contact information as well as **Company** and **VAT/GST Number**, if applicable.

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.

1. Review the payment method and contact information to ensure it is accurate.
2. To finish, select **Confirm**.
3. Ensure your new payment method appears in the **Payment Method** section.

Enterprise customers must email [ar@cloudflare.com](mailto:ar@cloudflare.com) with the last four digits of the credit card and its expiration date.

## Add a backup payment method

Optionally, add a backup payment method to use if the primary payment method fails.

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](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/get-started/update-billing-info/#delete-a-payment-method) and try again.

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Billing** page.  
[ Go to **Billing** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/billing)
2. Select **Payment**.
3. From **Payment methods**, select **Manage**.
4. From **Backup**, select **Add** to enter a backup payment method.
5. Enter the required information based on your preferred payment method (credit card or PayPal) and select **Confirm**.
6. To make the backup payment method the primary method, select **Make primary payment method**.
