# Add Billing

> Set up billing for your IBEE Solutions organization — purchase prepaid credits (online payment or bank transfer in India, card in other countries), redeem promo codes, and save a card.

New IBEE Solutions organizations are billed from a **prepaid wallet**: you add credits, and usage is deducted as resources run. The platform checks your wallet before every resource creation. If the balance does not cover the resource, a **Billing needs attention** popup asks you to add credits.

How you pay depends on your organization's currency:

* **India (INR):** Online payment (UPI, cards, or net banking) or bank transfer (NEFT).
* **International (USD):** Credit or debit card. You can save cards on the organization for future purchases.

Organizations that qualify can later switch to monthly **Invoice Billing** instead of prepaid credits: usage is billed in arrears within an approved credit limit. To apply, click **Enable** in the **Invoice Billing** section of **Billing → Payment Method**.

## Before you begin

* An IBEE Solutions organization ([Create an organization](/docs/getting-started/account-setup/create-an-organization))
* A verified identity ([Verify your identity](/docs/getting-started/account-setup/verify-your-identity))
* The **Admin** or **Billing** role in the organization

## Purchase credits

### Open Payment Method

In the portal sidebar, click **Payment Method** under **Billing**.

You can also click **Add Credits** in any **Billing needs attention** popup — it opens this page with the purchase dialog already open.

### Start a purchase

In **Credits & Spend Management**, click **Purchase credits** on the **Purchased credits** card.

### Choose how to pay (India only)

Indian organizations choose a payment method first:

* **Online payment** — UPI, cards, or net banking. Credits are added instantly.
* **Bank transfer (NEFT)** — transfer to IBEE's bank account and upload the receipt. See [Pay by bank transfer](#pay-by-bank-transfer-neft-india).

### Choose an amount

Pick a preset amount or enter your own:

| Currency | Preset amounts                     | Minimum              | Maximum per purchase |
| -------- | ---------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- |
| INR      | ₹2,000 · ₹2,500 · ₹5,000 · ₹25,000 | ₹2,000               | ₹5,00,000            |
| USD      | $10 · $50 · $100 · $500            | Any amount above \$0 | \$5,000              |

### Pay

Click **Continue** (India) or **Continue to payment** (international), then complete the payment. International organizations can pick a saved card or enter a new one, then click **Pay**.

When the payment succeeds, the portal confirms that your wallet will update shortly.

> **Info**
>
> Indian organizations must add at least **₹2,000** before creating their first resource.

### Pay by bank transfer (NEFT, India)

1. In the purchase dialog, choose **Bank transfer (NEFT)** and click **Continue**.
2. Transfer the amount to the account shown under **Transfer to this account**.
3. Enter the **Amount transferred** and the **Transaction / UTR reference**.
4. Upload the **Transaction receipt** — a PDF or image, up to 5 MB.
5. Click **Submit for verification**.

IBEE credits your wallet once the transfer is verified.

## Redeem a promo code

1. On **Payment Method**, find the **Credit wallet** card and click **Redeem promo code**.
2. Enter the code and click **Apply**.

Promo credits go into your **Credit wallet**. They are used before purchased credits, and unused promo credits may expire. Past redemptions are listed under **Recent coupon redemptions**.

## Save a card (international)

Organizations outside India can save cards in the **Payment Methods** section of the **Payment Method** page:

1. Click **Add Card** and enter your card details.
2. Use **Set Default** to choose the card that is used by default.
3. Use **Remove Card** to delete a saved card.

Saved cards belong to the organization.

## Wallet balance

The **Payment Method** page shows two balances in **Credits & Spend Management**:

| Card                  | What it holds                              |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Credit wallet**     | Bonus and promotional credits (used first) |
| **Purchased credits** | Credits you bought                         |

> **Warning**
>
> If your wallet balance does not cover a new resource, the platform blocks the creation. Existing resources continue running, but you must add credits before deploying anything new.

## Billing admission checks

Before creating a Cloud VM, GPU VM, or block storage volume, the platform automatically checks your organization's billing state and wallet balance against the resource's estimated cost. If either check fails, a **Billing needs attention** popup appears.

| Billing state | What happens                                                              |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Active**    | Resource creation proceeds normally                                       |
| **Past due**  | Billing popup shown — add credits or settle outstanding usage to continue |
| **Suspended** | Resource creation blocked — resolve billing before trying again           |

## Next steps

* Track spending on **Billing → Summary** and **Billing → Usage**, and download invoices from **Billing → Invoices**. See [Billing and usage](/docs/platform-fundamentals/billing-and-usage).
* Review your default resource limits in [Limits & Quotas](/docs/platform-fundamentals/limits-and-quotas).
