FAQ: BILLING AND PAYMENTS

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?

ZeroBounce.net uses PayPal and Stripe as their payment processor. We accept all payments that PayPal or Stripe accepts.

Stripe allows all credit cards. We also accept payments by bank wire and ACH.

CHECKOUT AS A GUEST WITH PAYPAL

You don't need to have an account with PayPal in order to make a purchase. PayPal will allow you to pay with a credit or debit card, and without a PayPal account.

When you get to the checkout screen, choose the "Pay with a Debit or Credit Card" option on the bottom when you see this screen:

PayPal payment screen: After choosing this option, you will see the screen below to enter your credit card information.

In some cases, PayPal won't allow you to checkout as a guest, based on various reasons related to details like customers browser, cookies, locale, IP etc.

WHERE DO I GET MY INVOICE?

ZeroBounce.net stores all your invoices in your account. Use the menu on the top-right corner of any page (when logged into a ZeroBounce account) to access the Billing section.

The invoice ZeroBounce.net provides in your account is for your convenience and there can be missing information needed for tax related expenses and account purposes, which is not provided to us by PayPal.

ZeroBounce.net only has access to the information that PayPal provides us on your order, which can be very limited. PayPal protects their customers' data and doesn't transmit information that is not needed for the vendor to complete your order. PayPal will also send you a receipt after the payment. The receipts should be kept for your records, as they contain your full information.
