Payment Methods Compared — Wallet, Card and Crypto
Three ways to pay on TheServerLicense.com. They settle the same invoices; what differs is how much attention each one needs from you.
Side by side
| Wallet | Card | Crypto | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Instant | Seconds | Minutes, once the network confirms |
| Pays a new invoice on its own | Yes | Only with a card saved on your account | No |
| Earns a deposit bonus | Yes, up to 25% | — | — |
| Best for | Anyone with licences that renew | Occasional one-off purchases | Paying without a card |
Wallet
Credit you have already added to your account. When an invoice is created, your balance pays it straight away — no login, no approval step.
It also earns you something. Deposits from $100 carry bonus credit, rising to 25% at $2,000, which is the closest thing we have to a standing discount on everything you run.
If the balance only partly covers an invoice, that part is applied and the rest stays due.
Card
Pay any invoice in a few seconds. Save the card and we can charge it for a renewal invoice shortly before it falls due, which gets you most of the way to hands-free without prepaying anything.
Keep an eye on the expiry date. A card that has expired or hit a limit will not go through, and then the invoice sits unpaid until you deal with it.
Crypto
Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and a long list of others, credited once the network confirms — usually minutes, sometimes longer when a network is busy.
Crypto cannot renew anything by itself. Every payment is a decision you make. Send the amount the payment page shows; paying more than that does not turn into wallet credit, so there is nothing to gain from rounding up.
A good middle path: pay by crypto, but into your wallet rather than a single invoice. The bonus applies, and the balance then handles renewals for you.
What we would do
Keep a modest balance in the wallet and let it run. Pay for it however you like — card or crypto — and the renewals stop being something you have to remember.
Questions
My crypto payment has not appeared. Wait until the blockchain shows it confirmed. If the invoice is still unpaid an hour after that, open a ticket with the transaction hash.
Can I pay part from the wallet and part by card? Yes. Whatever is in the wallet goes first, and you pay the rest by any method you like.
Do you add a surcharge for any method? No. Your bank's charges and the network's fees are outside what we control.
