# Payment methods

> Accepted payment methods and billing options

## Payment processor

Pentest-Tools.com uses [FastSpring](https://fastspring.com) as our payment processor. FastSpring is a PCI-compliant merchant of record that handles all payment processing, invoicing, and tax compliance.

## Accepted payment methods

### Credit and debit cards

All major credit and debit cards are accepted globally:

* Visa
* Mastercard
* American Express
* Discover
* JCB
* UnionPay

### Digital wallets

* PayPal (available globally except Turkey)
* Amazon Pay
* Apple Pay
* Google Pay

### Bank transfers

Bank transfers are available for custom deals, including annual and multi-year subscriptions. Since bank transfers are one-time payments, they require manual processing for each billing cycle.

Supported currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, INR, BRL, TRY, and JPY.

<Note>
  Bank transfers are not available for standard self-service subscriptions. [Contact sales](https://pentest-tools.com/contact) for custom billing arrangements.

### Purchasing via AWS Marketplace

If you subscribe through AWS Marketplace:

* Billing is consolidated with your AWS account
* Payments are handled by AWS, not FastSpring
* You can use AWS credits or your existing AWS payment method

### Managing AWS subscriptions
