Siamo lieti di annunciare la nostra ultima funzione: Pagamenti tramite PayPal. È ora possibile aggiungere credito al proprio conto trasferendo fondi da un conto PayPal.
Sebbene qualsiasi cliente possa utilizzare PayPal per finanziare il proprio conto, i nuovi clienti dovranno comunque registrarsi utilizzando una carta di credito. Da quel momento in poi è possibile utilizzare PayPal.
Questo in parte perché non abbiamo ancora la possibilità di trasferire automaticamente i fondi da PayPal. Se si intende pagare solo tramite PayPal, è necessario assicurarsi di avere abbastanza credito sul proprio conto Linode per coprire la prossima fattura. In caso contrario, il nostro sistema cercherà di riscuotere il saldo residuo dalla carta di credito che avete in archivio.
Per iniziare a usare PayPal è sufficiente accedere a Linode Manager e andare alla scheda Account -> Effettua un pagamento.
Buon divertimento!

PayPal would be nice, but automatic payments are a must have! PayPal has a “recurring payment” scheme for that. Looking forward to seeing support for that!
Why not switch the whole system to Stripe?
Well, who say we can’t use a virtual credit card?
But this is definitely something better than AWS.
+1 for support of recurring payments using PayPal.
I’m located in France so my bank take a fee on all non-EUR payments made using my credit card.
Yeah, this is what I waiting for since 3 years ago. Good job!
@Ed What exactly would that achieve? They already accept Credit Card payments. PayPal is a completely seperate platform and doesn’t integrate with Stripe – they have nothing to do with each other.
I guess at this point the rumor you weren’t taking PayPal because your TOS allows things banned by PayPal was false. If that was the case, woudn’t CloudFlare have been banned from PayPal a lot sooner because they allow things not allowed by Linode’s TOS?
However, I take it I cannot yet use PayPal Subscription to keep my Linode paid up?
Will there come a point when I can use only PayPal, and get my debit card number removed from your systems?
@William That’s the first I’ve ever heard of that rumour and I’ve been a customer and active member of the Linode community since 2005. My understanding for Linode not accepting PayPal has always been purely a business decision. PayPal has an incredibly bad reputation for not offering businesses any real protection. PayPal has a very long and checkered history for suspending accounts and holding onto large amounts of money with little to no recourse available for businesses to try to overturn their decision or recover their funds.
I’d say Linode is still requiring new accounts to sign up with a credit card as a safety and verification measure in an effort to mitigate the risks of fraud. It also serves as a backup payment method when they run billing in the event that your account doesn’t have enough credit on it to cover an invoice. If you don’t want your credit card to be charged, it’s simple enough to just do a manual payment with PayPal to add credit to your account before invoices are generated.
Finally, what was delaying you guys from offering PayPal as a payment processor since the start? Transaction fees?
Thanks for bringing it.
Yeah, this is what I waiting for since 3 years ago. Good job!
wow great , this is what I waiting for since 4 years ago. great job thanks .
i still have not a credit card, fully support using paypal will be awesome!
You guys should create a uservoice for people to post ideas to…it would be funner than a forum and it makes customers feel more heard, at least I think so… cheers!
That’s a good idea! In the meantime please feel free to send your suggestions to feedback@linode.com as well, we read everything that goes into there.
This is awesome!!!
Buenas quiero comprar VPS , pero no puedo por que solo tengo cuenta Paypal
Por que no aumentan el sistema de pago por paypal, tal como lo hace digital oceam, el medio de pago es mucho mas rapido.
Please my request is please allow new user to sign up pay using paypal .. so thats is better and great if linode teams .. make this happen .
