My client would like to pay for their site - how do they do this?
If your client is wishing to pay for their website and the upgrade process has not been completed you can invite them to do so. Details on how to do this can be found here.
If you have already started paying for a client’s website and are wanting to switch the payments over to the client there are a couple of options.
Firstly you can ask your client to log in to their website by providing them the login details and to Update their credit card. This will prompt the client to enter their own billing information as well as their payment option. There is a guide found here which details how to do this.
If you have an invoice that has not yet been paid you can get your client to pay for this. Once this has been done any further payments will be charged to their account rather than yours. A support guide found here can step your client through the process.
You will also need the client to add a new billing email address and update their account details through their Rocketspark dashboard -> My Account section. The steps on how to do this can be found here.

I paid on behalf of my client and now I'd like them to pay going forward
If you've upgraded your client's website and are paying on their behalf and wish to switch to your client paying the bill the client can update their card details in the My Account area of their website dashboard.
If your client is a little slow to take up the reigns on updating their account with their own card details you can contact us and we can remove your card payment authorisation from their account and they will be prompted to update their card details.
