Shippabo makes it easy for users to securely store preferred payment methods for current and future shipping invoices. Shipping invoices can be paid in one of three ways: with a credit card, using a bank account, or using a check or wire transfer. Outstanding balances will incur 3% fees if paid using a credit card. If paid using a bank account, no additional fees will be assessed.

## Setting Up Your Payment

To find the **Payment** section in your account, click on your profile icon (initials) in the upper right corner of the top navigational bar. Select **Payment** from the dropdown menu.

Under the **Payment** section, click **Add Payment**. You'll be taken to the **Payment Setup** section where you'll have the following options to choose from:

- **Credit Card**
- **Bank Account**
- **Check / Wire**

Select your preferred payment method and enter all the necessary information to complete the setup.

### Bank Verification

If using a bank account as your preferred payment method, please note that a verification process is required.

Once a bank account has been added, Shippabo will process two deposits in very small amounts. The account will appear under **Verify Bank Deposits.**

Once the amounts have been withdrawn, enter them in this section to validate the account.

Please note that this process can take **1-2 days** to complete.
