Change Your Account Billing Settings
All new MailChimp accounts start on the Forever Free Plan, so we don't ask for payment information right away. Paid plans are based on list size or the number of emails you send, and payments are made upfront. No matter what type of plan you choose, you don't need a contract.
In this article, you'll learn how to access and edit your billing information.
Accepted Methods of Payment
We accept
PayPal, all major credit and debit cards, SEPA Direct Debit, SOFORT, Giropay, and iDEAL.

MailChimp uses a secure and well-established credit card payment gateway service to process your payment. Review our credit card troubleshooting guide if you have a problem.
We can't accept bank transfers, wire transfers, e-checks, or checks from international users. Contact Billing for more information.
Change or Update Your Payment Method
We can't support purchase orders or offer invoices for paid plans, but receipts are available in the Billing History section of your account. After any order is processed, we'll also send a transaction receipt to the billing contact email address on file.
To change your credit card information, follow these steps.
- Click your profile name to open the drop-down menu and choose
Account.

- Click the Billing drop-down menu and choose Billing information.
- Click
Change Payment Method.

- In the Edit Payment Method pop-up modal, input your payment information in the available fields.
- Click Save.
Connect a PayPal Account
The Edit Payment Method pop-up modal defaults to the credit card option, but you can opt to pay with the preferred payment method in your PayPal account. All PayPal transactions are processed in US Dollars, but currency conversion fees won't apply.
To connect your PayPal account, follow these steps.
- In the
Edit Payment Method pop-up modal, click
PayPal.

- Click Save, then log in to your PayPal account when prompted. If you don't see the pop-up window, check your browser's pop-up blocker settings.

Connect SEPA Direct Debit
The Edit Payment Method modal defaults to the credit card option, but users in Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, or Germany can choose to pay with SEPA Direct Debit, SOFORT, Giropay, or iDEAL. These transactions are processed in EUR.

To enable this payment type, you'll need to complete a purchase to connect the payment type to your MailChimp account. If you don’t need to purchase anything right now, we’ll add a 1 EUR setup purchase to your account. We’ll refund the 1 EUR setup purchase on your next billing statement.
To connect your account, follow these steps.

Edit
Payment method pop-up modal, click
Other.

- Click Save. If you're not purchasing anything right now, you’ll be directed to the Billing Plan page to complete the 1 EUR setup purchase. On that page, click Complete Purchase.

Depending on the country listed in your MailChimp billing address, you'll see different payment options.
• Austria and Belgium: SEPA Direct Debit, or Sofort Banking
• Germany: SEPA Direct Debit, Sofort Banking, or Giropay
• Netherlands: SEPA Direct Debit or iDEAL - Type your bank and account information in the provided fields, and click Continue.
- Review your information, and click Pay. After the initial setup purchase is complete, your payment method will update.
Account Overview
Billing information and other actions can also be found on your Account Overview page. A summary of your current plan settings and payment information precedes links that allow you to view billing information and billing history, and edit or remove payment information.

If you want to switch from one type of payment in the Other category to another, like SEPA Debit to Giropay, you’ll need to remove your current payment method before you set up the new payment type.
Change Your Billing Currency
If you want to be billed in a different currency, you can change it at any time, and we'll convert payment amounts based on the exchange rates from Chase Paymentech. Learn more about pricing for international, non-U.S., and other currencies.
