Hello, I would like to use the prepaid feature, but before I do I would like to know:

Are the credit card details stored?
If they are stored, can they be removed after making a payment?
Is the same payment method reused if I switch to pay-as-you-go?

Context: If my account is compromised, I don't want the actor to be able to incur any more costs than the prepaid amount.

Hey @dreamy monolith

We store a payment hash, not the card details it's self.
Yes
Only if you want! See 2.

Absolutely, re: compromised, we also HIGHLY RECOMMEND (wouldn't use the all caps) setting up 2FA. I say this as someone who dealt with this the hard way in the past.

#

Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Thank you for the reply! Do you know of any resources where I can learn more about what a payment hash is and how it works?

This is how Stripe does it and this is our implementation. -> https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards

#

We never store your card number directly.

#

That would be dumb.

Makes sense. Thank you!

Hey Angelo, I realised that I didn't fully understand your reply. I understand now that a payment hash is stored and not the credit card. Is it possible to remove the payment hash from my account after making a prepaid payment and stay on the developer plan or does there always have to be a default payment option on the developer plan?

You can remove it after you made your purchase!
