When you pay MdmHost invoices with PayPal, the money comes from your PayPal balance or from a card or bank account linked in your PayPal Wallet. Keeping the wallet up to date prevents failed renewals, especially when a card expires.
Before you start
- A PayPal account you can log in to.
- The card you want to add, and your phone for any bank verification.
Link a debit or credit card
- Log in to PayPal and click Wallet.
- Click Link a card (or the + next to Banks and cards), then Link a debit or credit card.
- Enter the card number, expiry date, security code and billing address.
- Click Link Card. PayPal may ask you to confirm with a small temporary charge or a code from your bank.
Set your preferred payment method
- In Wallet, click the card or bank account you want to use.
- Click Set as preferred (or open Preferences in the wallet and choose it for online purchases).
For automatic payments such as an MdmHost subscription, you can choose a specific funding source: go to Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments, select MdmHost and click Change next to the payment method. See PayPal subscriptions.
Remove a card
- In Wallet, click the card.
- Click Remove card and confirm.
Warning: If the card you remove funds an automatic payment, choose a new funding source for that payment first. Otherwise the next renewal may fail and your service could become overdue.
Troubleshooting
- Card cannot be linked: it may already be linked to another PayPal account, or the bank declined verification. Contact your bank or PayPal.
- PayPal used the wrong card: check the funding source on the automatic payment, not only the wallet preference.
