Hello,

While we don’t offer a pre-payment plan, due to the unknown amount of usage, we do offer PayPal as a payment method. This way you can make a payment for what you believe you will use over the course of a year. We would then deduct your monthly invoice amount from your PayPal payment each month. It’s simple to make a payment via PayPal on DigitalOcean.

Here’s how you can do that:

1. Navigate to your payment methods page: https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/billing
2. Under Payment Methods, select the PayPal tab.
3. Select the amount that you would like to add to your account
4. Select the Pay Now button. This will prompt you to sign into PayPal and confirm the amount.

Please note that PayPal payments are not recurring. Thus we request you maintain a credit balance in your account equal to or greater than your monthly droplet cost. We will send an automated reminder if your balance gets too low.

Cheers,
Sri Charan
