Payments and billing

Accepted payment methods

You can pay for services offered through Dynamo exclusively by credit card. Dynamo accepts credit cards from the following networks:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover

How to manage credit cards

Credit cards associated with your Buyer account can be managed during the Payment confirmation step of the purchase process.
In this section, you can:

  • add a credit card (if you are making your first purchase);
  • use a previously saved credit card;
  • add a new credit card from the Card section;
  • edit a saved credit card.

Saved cards are displayed in the Saved section in a partially masked format, showing the card network and the last digits of the card.
To manage a saved credit card, click the three-dot menu icon:

  • select the blue icon (pencil) to update card information (expiration date and associated country).

For services with recurring payments (Subscription or Pay per use), the credit card used to purchase the service is also used for subsequent payments. Currently, this credit card cannot be replaced.

Payment models and applicable charges

Services available in the Dynamo marketplace may use different billing and charging models. Depending on the selected service, you may find:

  • Upfront: the charge is applied in advance at the time of purchase or service activation;
  • One-off: a single payment is applied for a one-time purchase, with no recurring charges;
  • Subscription: the service includes recurring charges, such as monthly or annual billing;
  • Pay per use: charges are based on actual service usage or resource consumption.

Depending on the purchased service, the following charges may also apply:

  • Activation fee: one-time service activation charge;
  • Initial payment: first payment required when subscribing to the service;
  • Recurring fee: recurring charge associated with the service;
  • additional charges related to optional features or extra consumption.

How service charges and renewals work

The initial charge is applied during the purchase process, after order confirmation and credit card submission.

Subsequent charges depend on the payment model associated with the purchased service:

  • for Upfront services, payment is required in advance at the time of purchase or activation;
  • for Subscription services, charges are automatically processed according to the applicable billing cycle;
  • for Pay per use services, charges are calculated based on service usage.

For services that include renewals or recurring billing, the credit card provided during purchase is also used for future payments.
Recurring charges are automatically applied according to the pricing terms and billing cycle associated with the purchased service.
