Invoices & Billing Cycles

If you haven't dealt with online ordering before, this short guide covers the terms and billing cycles for invoices that are generated for StickyPiston orders: Invoices and Billing Cycles Explained

Regular Payments through PayPal

Our most popular payment option is paying via PayPal services. This is a globally recognised and secure system that manages currency exchange and can be used to automatically pay for your server every time an invoice comes due.

To setup your invoice to be paid by PayPal automatically, follow these steps:

1. Login to your client area

1. Locate the "PayPal Billing Agreement" section and click on +ADD

If you see VIEW then you already have a Billing Agreement and can finish with this guide as your invoices will be managed automatically

1. After clicking +ADD you will see the screen below. Click on "Create New Billing Agreement" and follow the steps with PayPal to get your regular payments setup.

Using Group Pay

If you are part of a community, a creator or simply want to spread the cost of the server, we provide an option called "Group Pay" that will allow your friends to add funds to the server at any time and help towards the next invoice.

Pay for your server using StickyPiston Credit
