# Payments, account credits and discount coupons

Our platform was designed to give you maximum control over your spending. That's why we work with a **pre-paid** model, ensuring you only pay for the time you choose to use, with no unexpected surprises.

Below, we detail the available payment options, how our billing works, and how you can save on your subscription.

## 💳 How Does Our Pre-paid Model Work?

Currently, we operate on a 100% pre-paid basis and **feature recurring (automatic) billing**. 

This means you can register your card, and we will automatically charge your card or account month by month. You have full control over your subscription: to continue using our features, you can either make a new payment manually or register a card for automatic renewals.

## 💰 Accepted Payment Methods

To make your routine easier and ensure quick resource provisioning, we accept the following payment methods:

* **Pix:** Instant approval. This is the ideal option for anyone who wants their plan or credits released immediately. Simply scan the QR Code or use the "Pix Copia e Cola" (Copy and Paste) function in your banking app.
* **Credit Cards:** The ideal option to enable recurring billing and ensure you always have an active plan, even if you forget to renew.

## 🎁 Exclusive Advantage: 20% OFF on the Annual Plan

If you are focusing on your project for the long term, we help you save! 

By opting for the **Annual** billing cycle, you automatically get a **20% discount** on the total value of the plan. Since our format is pre-paid, you make a single payment (via Pix or Credit Card) and secure worry-free access for an entire year.

## 🎟️ How to Redeem a Gift Code

If you received a promotional code or want to add balance to your account to facilitate future renewals, the process is quite simple:

1. Log in to your account and access the **Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to the **Redeem code** section or go directly to https://squarecloud.app/en/account/redeem.
3. Enter the code and click **Redeem**.
