Author: ArunMost Site24x7 users who upgrade to the Professional account do so by paying online through credit card. In fact, we have even mentioned in our website that this is our preferred mode of payment since credit cards are handled automatically. However, there are some users who might not want to use a credit card as their company policies might prevent them from using cards. It is for the benefit of these users that we offer two alternate modes of payment - Purchase Order (PO) method and Paypal method. This article explains more about how to purchase Site24x7 with a PO or a Paypal account. Purchase Order

In this method, you have to mail us a Purchase Order showing the total amount you want to buy, etc. Based on this, we will upgrade your Site24x7 account to Professional and also add the required monitoring credits to your account. Our invoice department will then send you an invoice through email. Upon receiving the invoice, you have to pay us within 30 days either through credit card, bank cheque or wire transfer. Paypal

As is the case with PO mechanism, you have to mail us a price quote showing the amount you want to buy plus other details. We will then generate and send you a secure payment link where you can login and pay through your Paypal account. Once the payment is made, your account will be upgraded to Professional and the necessary monitoring credits will be added to your account. This article for more info on Paypal support. Both these modes of payment require you to send us the below information to help us process the payment:

• Your company name & billing address.
• Your Site24x7 account name.
• Number of monitors you want to purchase, type of monitors (i.e. website/web application/DNS/SMTP/WPA), and their monitoring intervals.
• SMS Packs, (if any)
• Total amount you want to purchase.
• Your method of payment : Paypal / Purchase Order.
• Payment period - Annual

There are 3 things to be noted if you opt for any of these payment modes. #1 - The payment you make does not renew automatically like it happens with the credit card payment. So once your monitoring credits get used up, you have to buy again to keep the monitoring going. #2 - The payment period will always be 'Annual'. #3- The Site24x7 client provides you the option to pay through credit card. For PO and Purchase Order payments, you need to contact our support team with the details described above to initiate the payment.
