The online payment processing is secured by Stripe, which allows both credit/debit cards and wire transfer. ThingsBoard Inc. has no access to your card data.

Notice: payments are non-refundable. Although if you decide to terminate (Cancel) the subscription before the end time, remain amount of units will be reserved upon your account.

Payment method
ThingsBoard Inc. wants the customer get most of the product and the way to get it was as comfortable as possible. Launching of License portal allowed to use credit/debit cards for online payments. But we continue diversifying payment methods and this section will constantly extend.
In order to pay with the card the Owner name, Country, Card number and Expiry date should be populated either after registration on License portal or during first purchasing. Stripe provides charging silently (no need to confirm).
In order to proceed with wire transfer you should create the Subscription or a Perpetual license without adding card details. In that case the license will be inactive until the invoice is payed.
