Welcome to another\u00a0 of our \u2018How To\u2019 customer guides!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For this post we\u2019re going to walk you through another of the most common questions we get asked in the billing department.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How can I add a PayPal Subscription to my account?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We know that our customers are busy running their businesses and have better things to do than to worry about simple billing matters.\u00a0 Having a PayPal Subscription on file simplifies the management of your account and allows your invoices to be paid on the day they are due and helps to mitigate the risk of overdue invoices or service suspensions for non payment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best part is, just like adding a credit card to your account,\u00a0 it only takes a few minutes to do following these simple step by step instructions!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First of all, a very important disclaimer about Paypal subscriptions!\u00a0 The day you set up your subscription will be the day the payment is made every month.\u00a0 Invoices are sent out 10 days before their due date, so we strongly recommend setting up your Paypal subscription shortly after receiving your invoice to ensure you will always pay on time and minimize any risk of interruption to your service.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, to set up a Paypal Subscription, you will need to go to the IOFlood account management portal and log into your IOFlood account by putting in your username and password, just like our friend Max here did.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once you\u2019ve logged in, you need to navigate to the menu on the left side of the page and under \u2018Client Profile\u2019 you need to select \u2018View Services\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Which will bring you to a list of all of your current active services, and should look something like this:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To set up a PayPal subscription, start by clicking on the \u201cView Services\u201d link on the left:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From there you will find yourself with a full list of all of your IOFlood services, which should look something like this:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Next we need to select \u201cPaypal Subscription\u201d from the right side of the service item you want to set up the subscription on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This opens a popup window that should look like this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this window you just need to confirm that the details of the subscription (being the service item and the amount) are correct, and then you click \u201cCreate Subscription\u201d at the bottom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This will automatically redirect you to the Paypal login prompt for you to enter your Paypal login details:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"paypal<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you have multiple payment methods in your Paypal, this is where you need to choose the payment method that you want to use for your recurring payments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"paypal<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Then click \u2018Continue\u2019 to get to the next screen.\u00a0 This is the confirmation screen where you get to review all your information and make sure it\u2019s correct.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"paypal<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Again, once you\u2019ve double checked your details are correct, then you can click \u201cAgree & Subscribe\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"paypal<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once your subscription has been confirmed you can close the popup window and return to your IOFlood Billing Manager where you will see a confirmation that the subscription has been successfully completed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"paypal<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And that\u2019s it, your service will now automatically be paid by paypal every month while you deal with more important things.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If at any time you want to check on what paypal subscriptions you have active, you can do so by selecting \u201cPaypal Subscriptions\u201d from the menu on the left.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"ioflood<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So that\u2019s it! \u00a0 You now know how to create and view your paypal subscriptions within the IOFlood billing management system.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
