Adding A Credit Card

Once you're there, scroll down to the Manage Your Credit Cards section and click the Add Credit Card button. This page allows you to add a credit card without any site assigned in your account or any active purchase:

Payments Using a PayPal Account

Purchases on WordPress.com can also be done using a PayPal account; however you can only connect your PayPal account the first time you're purchasing an upgrade, or when you're renewing your upgrade. Because payments for WordPress.com subscriptions are recurring you will still need a backup funding source (for example, a verified credit card number) connected to your PayPal account, even if you have funds in that account.

When your upgrade is coming to expiration, you'll see a red Renew Now button in your Manage Purchases page, just like this one:

Go ahead and click the Renew Now button and you'll be able to renew your upgrade using your PayPal account:

There are some countries that PayPal will not accept payments from. If you have a credit or debit card registered to an address in one of those countries, you will be unable to use your PayPal account to pay.
