# How to Pay Your Invoice by Card

Paying by credit or debit card is the quickest way to pay a Noiz invoice and the way we recommend. The invoice is marked paid the moment your bank approves it, and your card is saved so future invoices are paid automatically.

**Last reviewed:** 21 October 2026, against the current Noiz Console.

### Official Documentation Reference

- [Stripe: Security at Stripe](https://docs.stripe.com/security), how our card processor stores and protects card details.

## Before You Start

- Your Noiz Console login. See [How to Log In to the Console](/client-area/how-to-log-in-to-the-console/).
- A credit or debit card. Keep your phone nearby in case your bank asks you to approve the payment.

## Pay an Invoice by Card

1. **Log in.** Go to [https://www.noiz.co.za/clientarea.php?action=invoices](https://www.noiz.co.za/clientarea.php?action=invoices) and sign in with your email address and password.

2. **Find the invoice.** Your invoice list opens after you sign in. From anywhere else in the Console, click **Billing > My Invoices**. Unpaid invoices show **Unpaid** in the **Status** column.

3. **Choose Stripe.** Click the invoice to open it. In the panel on the right, under **Total Due**, set **Payment Method** to **Stripe**, then click **Pay Now**.

4. **Enter your card.** On the **Checkout** page, under **Make Payment**, choose **Enter New Card Information Below** (or pick a card you saved before). Fill in **Card Number**, **Expiry Date** and **CVV/CVC2**, and check your **Billing Address**. **Card Description** is optional: a name to help you recognise the card later.

5. **Pay.** Click **Submit Payment**. If your bank asks, approve the payment in your banking app or enter the code it sends you.

6. **Done.** You return to the invoice, which shows **Thank You! Your payment was successful.** and the status **Paid**. Your receipt arrives by email, and the charge appears on your bank statement under the name **NOIZ**.

Your card is now saved, and future invoices are charged to it automatically one day before they are due. To see how that works, or to change the card, see [How to Set Up a Recurring Card Payment](/billing/how-to-set-up-a-recurring-payment-with-stripe/).

## Your Saved Cards

Saved cards are listed under **Payment Methods**: click the account icon at the top right of the Console and choose **Payment Methods**. From there you can click **Add New Credit Card** to add another, and **Set as default** to choose which card is charged automatically.

## If a Payment Does Not Go Through

- **Card declined** (insufficient funds, expired card or a bank block): the invoice stays **Unpaid**. Try another card, or ask your bank why it declined.
- **Your bank asks for approval on every payment:** you can pay by hand as above, but the card cannot be charged automatically later. Pay each invoice by hand when the email arrives.
- **Money left your account but the invoice still shows Unpaid:** email [support@noiz.co.za](mailto:support@noiz.co.za) with your invoice number and your bank's confirmation. Do not pay again.

## Other Ways to Pay

South African clients can also pay by EFT, and anyone can pay with Monero (XMR). See [How to View and Pay an Invoice](/client-area/how-to-view-and-pay-an-invoice/) for both.
