How to set up automatic balance replenishment
Autopayment is one of the features of the BillManager panel that allows you to replenish the balance of your personal account with a Visa or MasterCard credit card. The deduction occurs when there are insufficient funds on your balance to renew services with automatic renewal or daily deduction (services with protection against DDoS attacks).
When this feature is enabled, the availability of the required amount on the account balance is checked 10 days before the end of the service rental period. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the next attempts will be made in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 days. If the funds are successfully deducted from the card, you will be able to see it in the Payments section or on the account balance.
In this article, we will explain how to correctly set up autopayment and how to use it in the future. Below is a step-by-step guide to setting it up for BillManager versions 5 and 6.
