Kinsta.com offers several payment methods. All of Kinsta’s hosting services and add-ons are invoiced monthly or annually. Services are charged on a pre-payment basis, where you pay for the service before you use it. When you sign up for any of their services, you must add a payment method to your account. Your payment method details are stored with Stripe, their credit card processing company.

They currently accept the following credit or debit cards: Visa, Mastercard (including Maestro), American Express, and Discover. For Annual term plans, they also accept Wire Transfers and ACH payments. To add your credit or debit card, log in to your account, and click your username > Company settings > Payment Methods > Add payment method.

You can add multiple cards, but their payment system will always charge your default card if possible. If they are unable to charge your primary card for some reason, they will attempt to charge the additional card(s) on your account.

Please note that credit card payments are managed by their UK branch, Kinsta Ltd. If your credit card is set up to decline all international transactions, this could result in your payment failing. Make sure to allow transactions from the UK so your card isn’t declined.

In order to add, update, or remove a credit/debit card in your account, you must be a company owner, company administrator, or company billing user. If you have any account credits, the sum will be displayed under Account Balance.

If you have an annual WordPress plan and want to pay via wire transfer or ACH, you don’t need to add a payment method; in this case, please contact their Billing team.

Hope this information helps!
