Automatic Invoice Payments with Stored Credit Cards

0 Was this answer helpful?

Never miss a renewal again. AFRICLOUD supports tokenised credit and debit card storage through Stripe, so your invoices are settled automatically - no manual login required.

How It Works

When you add a credit or debit card to your account, Stripe securely tokenises your card details. This means:

  • AFRICLOUD never stores your actual card number. We only hold a secure token provided by Stripe.
  • AFRICLOUD staff cannot see or access your card details. All sensitive data is held exclusively by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor.
  • Renewal invoices are charged automatically. When an invoice is generated, Stripe processes the payment using your stored token - no action needed from you.

Supported Card Networks

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express (Amex)
  • Discover
  • Diners Club
  • UnionPay

How to Add a Card

  1. Log in to the Client Area.
  2. Click your name in the top-right corner and select Payment Methods.
  3. Click Add New Payment Method.
  4. Enter your card details in the secure Stripe form and click Save.

Your card is now stored as a token. All future invoices will be charged automatically.

Managing Your Stored Cards

From the Payment Methods page you can:

  • Add a new card at any time.
  • Remove a stored card if you no longer wish to use it.
  • Set a default payment method if you have multiple cards on file.

Removing a card from your AFRICLOUD account also deletes the token from Stripe - your details are not retained anywhere.

Security

  • All card transactions are processed over HTTPS via Stripe's secure infrastructure.
  • Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified - the highest level of security certification in the payments industry.
  • AFRICLOUD does not process, store, or have access to your full card number, CVV, or expiry date at any point.

Coming Soon

  • PayPal Subscriptions - automatic recurring billing via your PayPal account. We will announce this when available.
