Summary: How to add prepaid credit to your account, the deposit limits, that deposits are non-refundable, and how credit is applied to invoices.

## What this is

You can prepay a **credit balance** on your account and let invoices draw from it automatically. It saves making lots of small payments. Find it at **Billing, Add Funds** (https://vpsdime.com/addfunds).

(Two kinds of "prepay" exist, so pick the right one: Add Funds loads a **general balance** that pays whatever comes due. To prepay a **specific service** so its renewal date itself moves 1 to 24 months forward, use [Pay for your service in advance](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/pay-in-advance) instead, and you can pay that invoice *with* your credit balance, so the two combine nicely.)

## Steps

1. Go to **Billing, Add Funds**.
2. Enter an **Amount to Add** (within the limits below).
3. Click **Add Funds** and complete the payment with any [payment method](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/billing/payment-methods).

## What you'll see

![The Add Funds page with Minimum Deposit, Maximum Deposit, and Maximum Balance tiles, an Amount to Add field, a non-refundable warning, and an Add Funds button](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/images/add-funds.png)

- The deposit limits:
  - **Minimum deposit:** $50.00 USD
  - **Maximum deposit:** $10,000.00 USD
  - **Maximum balance:** $20,000.00 USD
- An **Amount to Add** field, a note that **deposits are non-refundable**, and an **Add Funds** button.

## Things worth knowing

- **Deposits are strictly non-refundable.** Only add what you expect to spend on services.
- **Credit never expires.** Your balance stays on the account until it's spent. The one exception: if we terminate your account for a Terms of Service violation, any remaining credit is forfeited.
- **Credit applies automatically.** Your balance is applied to your invoices for you, both to new renewal invoices as they're generated and to any open (unpaid) invoices already on your account, so there's usually nothing to do. You can also apply it by hand when paying an invoice. See [Viewing and paying an invoice](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/invoices).
- **An invoice covered by credit** shows the credit applied and a $0.00 total.

## Changed your mind before paying?

If you started an Add Funds deposit and then decided against it, you don't have to do anything, but you can tidy it up. An unpaid Add Funds invoice shows an **Add Funds Payment Pending** notice on your [dashboard](https://vpsdime.com/clientarea) with **Pay Now** and **Cancel** buttons. Click **Cancel** to drop the invoice, nothing is charged and no credit is added. If you leave it, our system **cancels an unpaid Add Funds invoice automatically after 24 hours**.

## Troubleshooting

- **It won't accept my amount.** Check it's at least the minimum ($50), within the maximum, and that it won't push you over the maximum balance.
- **My payment for the credit failed.** Try another [payment method](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/billing/payment-methods).
