**STEP 3**

**Update payment information** - monthly recurring invoices are automatically charged to the credit card registered to the account. Therefore, it is required that user must enter/ update the payment card. Company info must be updated before entering/ updating the payment info.

User may add multiple cards and choose which card is to be used for payments by marking it as default.

If the credit card expires, user must update a new valid credit card into the account.

Go to Account -> Settings -> payment Info
