Payment options
We offer paid plans(nueva ventana) if you wish to support Proton and enjoy additional features, such as increased storage and the ability to use your own custom domain.
When you reach the checkout, you’ll be asked to select a payment method. In this article, we explain the different ways you can pay for Proton plans:
If you’re in Russia
Proton understands that it’s never been so important for everyone to be able to communicate securely and access the free and open internet. Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, members of the Proton community in Russia are likely to encounter difficulties when paying for their Proton subscriptions in the usual ways.
If you’re in Russia and blocked from paying for your Proton plan, the only real options at the moment are UnionPay or Bitcoin. Please see our continually updated How to pay for Proton services in Russia(nueva ventana) guide for more details and our latest advice.
Credit or debit card
1. This is selected by default. If you’ve previously registered a card with Proton, it will appear as an option. Select it and skip to step 3.
If you are new to Proton or want to use a different card, you can register a new one.
2. Enter your card details and review your payment.
3. Click Pay.
Please be sure to review your payment before you select Pay. Once you click Pay, your card will be charged the Amount due (the total minus any account credit(nueva ventana) you have in your account).
If the payment succeeds, your account will automatically be upgraded with new premium features and higher storage limits.
Please note that we cannot guarantee that prepaid cards will be accepted for reasons beyond our control.
PayPal
1. Select PayPal and then click Continue.
2. A pop-up window will appear asking you to log in to your PayPal account and set up a billing agreement for recurring payments.
If you prefer to make a one-off payment, select the click here option instead.
Once the payment process is complete, you’ll be returned to your Proton inbox with an upgraded account.
Bitcoin
You can use Bitcoin only to upgrade an existing account, not purchase a new one.
If you want to pay by Bitcoin, first sign up for a free account and then upgrade to a paid plan.
