Add or update a payment method

Table of contents

This page describes how to add or update a payment method for your personal account or for an organization.

You can add a payment method or update your account's existing payment method at any time.

Important

If you want to remove all payment methods, you must first downgrade your subscription to a free plan. See Downgrade.

The following payment methods are supported:

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • American Express
  • Discover
  • JCB
  • Diners
  • UnionPay

All currency, for example the amount listed on your billing invoice, is in United States dollar (USD).

Failed payments

If your subscription payment fails, there is a grace period of 15 days, including the due date. Docker retries to collect the payment 3 times using the following schedule:

  • 3 days after the due date
  • 5 days after the previous attempt
  • 7 days after the previous attempt

Docker also sends an email notification Action Required - Credit Card Payment Failed with an attached unpaid invoice after each failed payment attempt.

Once the grace period is over and the invoice is still not paid, the subscription downgrades to a free plan and all paid features are disabled.

Redeem a coupon

You can redeem a coupon for any paid Docker subscription.

A coupon can be used when you:

  • Sign up to a new paid subscription from a free subscription
  • Upgrade an existing paid subscription

You are asked to enter your coupon code when you confirm or enter your payment method.

If you use a coupon to pay for a subscription, when the coupon expires, your payment method is charged the full cost of your subscription. If you don't have a saved payment method, your account downgrades to a free subscription.
