# Billing

## Adding a Credit Card

Click **`Billing`** in the main menu to add your billing address and credit card info.

Each store must have a credit card attached in order to submit details for a new product. However, there is **no immediate charge** in order to submit product details.

{% hint style="info" %}
Credit card information is **required to submit products**, but no charges are applied until you approve your sample.
{% endhint %}

## Cancelling a Product&#x20;

If you wish to cancel your product **during the development process**, let your Client Success Specialist know in the conversation for that product.

You will only be charged the costs incurred **up to that point**. Your Client Success Specialist will provide you with an invoice for you to approve.

## Other Payment Methods

We also accept **wire transfer** as a method of payment. Just let your Client Success Specialist know, and they will coordinate this with you when it is time for a payment.
