Adding and managing your Fiverr payment methods

Fiverr offers several payment methods, so you can pay in the way that works best for you. Which methods you see depends on your device, your country, and rules set by individual payment providers. This article covers what's available, how to use your Fiverr Balance, and how to save or manage a payment method.


Before you begin

  1. This applies to any payment on Fiverr, whether you're paying for an order, a subscription, or another purchase.
  2. Available payment methods depend on your device, your country of residence, and rules set by individual payment providers, not by Fiverr.
  3. We don't accept cryptocurrency.
  4. Fiverr Pro accounts can only use credit or debit card, wire transfer, credit card deposits, deposits, and PayPal.
  5. Some countries can't use Fiverr's payment methods at all, due to international regulations. If this applies to you, you may still be able to pay using your Fiverr Balance if you have funds available.

Available payment methods

  • Pay with Apple Pay, or connect your account for a faster checkout. Not available in every country. See Apple's list of supported countries.

  • Pay with almost any major credit or debit card. A gift card works only if a card issuer or bank backs it and it has enough funds to cover the full order.

  • Pay using the funds in your Fiverr Balance.

  • Pay with Google Pay, or connect your account for a faster checkout. Not available in every country. See Google's list of supported countries.

  • An online banking payment method for clients in the Netherlands. Pay with a direct transfer from your bank account by scanning a QR code, which opens your bank's app, or by selecting your bank from a dropdown menu. Not available on the Fiverr app.

  • Pay using a local card or cash at a convenience store. Available in Mexico.

  • Pay with PayPal, using your PayPal balance or a linked card. Connect your account for a faster checkout. Not available in every country. See PayPal's list of supported countries.

Using your Fiverr Balance

If you have funds in your Fiverr Balance, we automatically apply them to your next order.

If your order costs more than your available balance, you can use another payment method to cover the rest. At checkout, you'll see the total amount due, the amount covered by your balance, and the amount to pay with another method. Your account balance and billing history page.

Saving a payment method during checkout

When you complete a purchase, you can save your payment method for next time:

  • Credit or debit card: mark the Save as default checkbox.
  • PayPal: mark the Remember me for fast checkout checkbox.

If you haven't made a purchase yet, you can only add PayPal directly. The credit card option becomes available once you've made your first purchase, and you can save the card you used for it.

Managing your saved payment methods

To view, add, or remove a saved payment method at any time:

  1. Click your profile picture.
  2. Click Billing and payments.
  3. Click the Payment methods tab.

From here, you can:

  • Add a new payment method: click + Add a new payment method, fill in the details, and confirm.
  • Set a saved method as your default, or remove it: click the three-dot menu next to that method.
  • Add a card display name: give a saved card a custom name, up to 30 characters, so you can identify it more easily. You can edit or remove this name at any time.

If you have a saved PayPal account, you can't change its linked card through Fiverr. To do that, update your funding source directly in PayPal.

Using your local currency to pay

By default, we set your currency to your local currency, if available. When you order a Gig, we charge you in the display currency you chose.

If your payment processor does not support your chosen display currency, we charge you in US dollars (USD) instead. If your display currency is the Israeli new shekel (ILS) and you pay by credit card, we also charge you in USD.

All prices on Fiverr are based on the original USD price. As a result, prices in other currencies may change daily according to exchange rate fluctuations.

Note: You can change your display currency more than once. After you change it manually three times, we keep it fixed at that currency. To change it, click your profile picture, then select language and currency.

How to change your display currency

  1. Click your profile picture.
  2. Select language and currency.
  3. Choose your preferred language and currency from the drop-down menu.

Best practices for choosing your currency

  1. Choose your display currency before you order. If your payment processor doesn't support it, we charge you in USD instead.
  2. Check your currency again before ordering if prices change from day to day. Non-USD prices can shift daily based on exchange rates.

FAQs

  • The payment methods you see depend on your country of residence. We're limited by the countries our third-party payment providers serve, though we're always working on adding new methods.

  • Not directly. Your balance comes from earnings, refunds from canceled orders, or credits we add. Cash deposits are available on Fiverr Pro accounts.

  • A payment method is how you pay for something on Fiverr, such as an order, a subscription, or another purchase, using the options in this article. A withdrawal, or payout, method is how freelancers cash out their earnings from completed orders, for example through PayPal, Payoneer, or bank transfer. Your Fiverr Balance and your earnings are different: your balance comes from refunds or canceled orders and can only be used for future purchases, while your earnings come from completed orders and can be withdrawn. Learn more with Withdrawing your earnings & managing payout methods.

  • If your payment processor doesn't support your chosen display currency, we charge you in USD. We also charge ILS credit card payments in USD.

  • All Fiverr prices are based on the original USD price. Non-USD prices change daily based on currency exchange rates.

  • We automatically remove a saved payment method if you haven't used it in over four months.

  • Refunds go to your Fiverr Balance, and you can use them for a future purchase. If you cancel an order, we place the order amount and service fee back into your balance. Learn more with Refunds.

  • We process your refund in the same currency and for the same amount as your original payment.
