In April 2024, Konet announced changes to Credits and payment methods, as part of a major Client Area upgrade completed shortly before. The upgrade added new features, extended existing ones and strengthened security, with changes to PayPal payments and to how Credits are displayed.
Upgraded PayPal payments
Our two PayPal payment methods will be merged into one in the coming period. Our aim is to make paying with PayPal simpler and more automated, whether you pay once or set up a recurring payment.
The merge is made possible by PayPal’s most recent addition, which lets us use, through one single API, functionality that previously required several APIs.
On the security side, we will use PayPal’s latest tokenization system. The new system protects the integrity of your stored payment details through PayPal Vault.
This way paying becomes simpler and more secure at the same time.
New payment methods coming soon
We want using the Client Area to be as easy and pleasant as possible. The new upgrade lays the groundwork for new payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Revolut.
The new payment methods are expected to be added, God willing, later in the year (Q2-Q3 2024).
You will get a new announcement as soon as they become available.
New Credits display in the Client Area
Did you know that you can pay your Billing Statements with Credits in the Client Area?
What is the Credits system
The Credits system has been part of the Client Area since 2018. It lets you add money to your account and use it later for your payments.
Credits are the best way to avoid lots of small transactions and to have new Billing Statements paid automatically.
To add Credits, go to the Client Area and select Billing -> Add Funds. Whatever amount you add to your account becomes available as Credits.
New Credits notifications
Until recently you could see your available Credits in two ways:
- On the “Add Funds” page, which showed your credit balance in Credits,
- At Checkout, which showed your available Credits balance and let you apply it automatically to pay for your order.
With the upgrade, we added two new ways to display your Credits.
The first is the “Notifications” button on the top bar of the Client Area. The button is available on every page of the Client Area, so you can see your available Credits at any time.
The second is on your account’s “My Dashboard”. Right after the table of active hosting services, you will see a new panel labeled “Available Credit Balance”. It shows your current Credits balance, along with a button to add more.
If you have any questions, the Konet support team is available 24/7 via a ticket from the Client Area.
