You can pay for GitHub with a credit card or with a PayPal account.
When you update the payment method for your account's plan, your new payment method is automatically added to your other subscriptions and usage-based billing.
We don't support purchase orders for personal accounts. We email receipts monthly or yearly on your account's billing date. If your company, country, or accountant requires your receipts to provide more detail, you can add extra information to your receipts. For more information, see Adding information to your receipts.
If you're a customer in the United States and you're exempt from sales tax, you will need to upload a sales tax exemption certificate to your account. See "Adding a sales tax certificate."
