What payment methods are accepted?

When you confirm a backlink order (or the purchase of lives for certification), a "Payment method" page offers you several ways to pay. Here's how it actually works.

Your credits first

If your account has a credit balance — top-up credits and/or accumulated cashback — a "Use my credits" checkbox lets you apply it first to your order. The covered amount is deducted automatically, leaving only any remaining balance to be settled another way. If your credits cover the full amount, no further step is needed: your order is paid.

Credit card or PayPal for the rest

For the remaining amount (or the full amount if you don't use credits), two options are available for every order:

1. Credit card, via a secure payment form (displayed as "secure payment by PayPal," even if you don't have a PayPal account).
2. Payment via your PayPal account, using the standard PayPal buttons.

Once payment is confirmed, a confirmation page summarizes your order and offers a link to your invoice from your organization's billing area.

Bank transfer tops up your credit, it doesn't pay for an order

Unlike card or PayPal payments, bank transfer never directly settles an order: it's only used to top up your credit balance beforehand, a bit like filling your water bottle before heading out on an expedition. When you choose to credit your account by bank transfer, a page shows you SEO Jungle's bank details (IBAN, BIC, account holder name) for you to use yourself; an invoice is generated for this top-up. Once the credit is added, you can use it to pay for your future orders just like any other available credit.

Monthly invoicing

If your organization operates on monthly invoicing, the use of available credit is applied automatically to every order, without you needing to check anything.
