Configuring Online Payments

The Payment and Invoices page of the Company Dashboard allows you to define your company payment information that can be used for automatic operations (such as auto-renewal) and browse the financial activity of your Altium account.

Use the Payment and Invoices page to provide your company payment info and browser history of your invoices and quotes.

With the financial information in place, you can easily pay for your licenses and subscriptions. This functionality provides you, as an administrator for your Altium account, the means to keep the number of licenses available for your company at a sufficient level and keep the payment of subscriptions for your organization's licenses up-to-date through secure payment online, without having to contact your usual sales channel.

Note that all Group Administrators for your Altium account can access and update the company payment information and have the ability to perform financial actions.

Adding a Payment Method

To define a payment method, click the Add Payment control in the Company Payment Info section of the Payment and Invoices page. This will give access to the Payment Methods dialog to add a new card or bank account.

The following is required:

  • Card number – the 16-digit long card number located on the front of your card, with no spaces or hyphens.
  • Expiration Date – the month and year for the expiry date of your card.
  • CVV – the security code for your card. For a Visa Card, MasterCard, or Discover Card, this is the last 3-digit number found on the back of the card. For an American Express card, this is the 4-digit number found on the front of the card.
  • Cardholder Name – the name of the cardholder.

    The cardholder's name must be the same as that appearing on the credit card itself. If this information is not correct, there can be problems when processing payments from your card's financial institution.

With the card details filled in as required, click the Add Card button. The registered card will be listed in the Payment Methods dialog and, once the changes are saved, in the Payment Methods for section of the Payment and Invoices page.

The history of your financial actions will be reflected back on the Payment and Invoices page.
