To lease a subnet using IPXO, it is crucial to first add a payment method. Without a registered payment method, the option to purchase a subnet will not be available.  
 
IPXO offers three payment methods for users to choose from: 

  • PayPal 
  • Card 
  • Credit Balance 

Note: Please refer to the following articles for more information about IPXO Credit Balance and its usage: How to add funds to my credit balance, How to pay for an invoice from my credit balance.  

To set up your preferred payment method on IPXO, please follow these steps:

  1. Login to your IPXO account by visiting https://staging.ipxo.org/portal/login 
  2. Once logged in, click on your name icon and navigate to the “Settings and Billing” section. 
  3. Select “Payment Methods” and set up your desired payment method from the available options. 

Note: When modifying or adding a payment method on IPXO, please be aware that you will be presented with two options: Credit Card and PayPal. The Credit Balance option is universally enabled and cannot be removed or added as a payment method. 

What are the implications of not adding a payment method?  

If a payment method is not set up after registering to lease IPs, the notification depicted in the image below will appear, and the associated accounts will be at risk of suspension. 

Is it possible for a user to change their payment method? 

Yes, users have the option to update their payment method. However, it is important to note that removing all payment methods entirely is not possible. At least one method, excluding Credit Balance, must remain active. If you need guidance on changing your payment method, please refer to the article How to change my payment method for step-by-step instructions.
