What is Halocard?

A US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card, with a separate virtual card for each merchant you pay. Lock a card to pause a subscription, or cancel it so the merchant can no longer charge that number.

Pay Cloudflare from its own card and stop the renewals whenever you choose.

Tips for successful payments at Cloudflare

AcceptedMake the card your primary payment method before you register, renew or transfer a domain, because Cloudflare Registrar charges only the primary method.
AcceptedAdd a second payment method. If a renewal fails on the primary method, Cloudflare tries your other methods in turn.
AcceptedFor a first subscription payment or a one-time purchase, stay in the dashboard so you can finish any 3D Secure prompt from your card issuer.
AcceptedSet a budget alert under Billing, then Billable Usage, so you know before Workers or R2 usage charges grow past what your card covers.

Why do Cloudflare payments decline?

"The payment has failed. Please contact your bank or use a different payment method.": Check the card number and CVC, and make sure the billing address matches the one your card issuer holds. Then go to Billing, then Invoices and documents, and select Pay now.
"Payment error: authorization failed": The card issuer declined the charge or 3D Secure was not finished. Retry the payment in the dashboard and complete the verification prompt.
"You cannot add or modify subscriptions or services until the outstanding balance is paid.": Pay the outstanding balance on the account first, then make the purchase or plan change again.
Several domain charges declined at once: Cloudflare Registrar charges each domain as a separate transaction, which a card issuer may flag as fraud. Confirm the charges with your card issuer, then retry.

Cloudflare payment FAQ

Does Cloudflare accept PayPal?

Yes. Choose PayPal under Add Payment Method and follow the steps until PayPal returns you to Cloudflare, then check that your PayPal username shows next to the PayPal logo. If your PayPal balance is too low, PayPal charges the card or bank linked to it.

How does Cloudflare billing work?

Plans and flat-rate add-ons are billed in advance for the next month or year, and plans are billed per domain. Usage products such as Workers and R2 are billed in arrears for the period that just ended. Both appear on one invoice, and Cloudflare charges your primary payment method automatically.

How much does Cloudflare Pro cost?

Pro is $25 a month per domain billed monthly, or $20 a month billed annually. Business is $250 a month billed monthly, or $200 a month billed annually. The Workers Paid plan has a minimum charge of $5 a month per account, plus usage above what is included.

What happens if a Cloudflare renewal payment fails?

Cloudflare retries the charge up to 5 times during a 5-day grace period and also tries any additional payment methods on file. If the balance is still unpaid after 5 days, the account moves to the Free plan and you must re-subscribe to each product. Your websites stay online.

Can I get a refund for a Cloudflare plan or domain?

Usually not. A cancelled plan is billed for the full period with no refund, and Cloudflare Registrar fees are non-refundable once a registration, renewal or transfer completes. Turn off auto-renew at least 30 days before a domain expires to avoid the next charge.
