# Payment Methods

Cloudback offers a variety of payment methods to purchase a subscription. You can choose the one that best fits your billing and procurement process. This document provides an overview of the available payment methods.

> **Tip**: After purchasing a subscription, you can assign it to multiple accounts across all supported platforms. This allows you to manage backups for your entire infrastructure under a single subscription. See [Subscription Management](/account-and-billing-management/subscription-management.md) for details.

The **Subscriptions** page in the Cloudback dashboard has a **Ways to add a subscription** section at the top, which lists every available purchase route:

* **Paddle checkout** - buy directly from Cloudback with a credit card
* **GitHub Marketplace** - use existing GitHub billing
* **Azure Marketplace** - use existing Microsoft Azure billing
* **Coupa Supplier Portal** - use Coupa-based procurement

For invoice or bank transfer, contact the support team - these options are arranged off-platform.

## Direct Credit-Card Checkout (Paddle)

You can purchase a Cloudback subscription directly from the **Subscriptions** page in the dashboard with a credit card. Payments are processed through [Paddle](https://paddle.com).

Follow these steps to purchase a plan directly:

1. Log in to the [Cloudback Dashboard](https://app.cloudback.it) and open the **Subscriptions** page from the main navigation.
2. In the **Ways to add a subscription** section at the top of the page, click **Paddle checkout**.
3. In the plan-selection dialog, choose your billing cycle (**Monthly** or **Annual**) and select a plan (**Basic**, **Team**, or **Enterprise**).
4. Click **Continue to Checkout** and complete the payment through Paddle's secure checkout.
5. Once the checkout completes, the Subscriptions page automatically refreshes and your new subscription appears in the table.

## GitHub Marketplace Payments

GitHub Marketplace is a platform that allows you to find, purchase, and install tools that extend your workflow. Cloudback offers a range of plans designed to fit different team sizes and needs. Every plan includes a free trial, so you can test the service before committing.
