Weâre always working to give developers the flexibility and convenience they need. To stay in tune with their needs, weâre constantly gathering feedback from our customers and other builders utilizing IPFS. Weâve learned that some developers are increasingly interested in the option to pay for their Pinata plan upfront with crypto. While weâd love to support this, we know that many customers may still prefer to use credits cards, so with that, weâre thrilled to announce the beta release of crypto payment support. As this is beta, expect some bumps along the way as we refine and improve the experience.
The Need-To-Knows
Annual Plans
Should you choose to pay for your Pinata plan using crypto, youâll see that there is no longer a monthly subscription option. All plans paid for via crypto will be an upfront, annual plan.
Plans paid for with credit card will still remain on a monthly subscription basis.
Handling Overages
Once youâve selected to pay with crypto, youâll pay for the base plan upfront via a quick and intuitive checkout flow. Youâll then handle overages separately on a monthly basis that will be billed to your account. In this initial version, overages will be paid via credit card still. So when you complete the crypto payment flow, youâll need to add a credit card just in case you have any overages.
Weâre excited to introduce this annual pay with crypto option - a beginning step towards maximum payment flexibility for our customers.
