# Payments & Charges

## **What payment methods are accepted by Paxton AI?**

At Paxton AI, we are committed to ensuring a seamless transaction process for our users. We accept a variety of payment methods to accommodate your needs. Currently, you can use Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Stripe Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. These methods ensure efficient and secure processing of your payments.

Please note, we do not accept ACH transfers, Cash App, or prepaid credit cards.<br>

## **Why do I see a pending authorization charge on my credit or debit card?**

When you add or update a payment method on your Paxton AI account, you may notice a $499.00 entry appearing as a “pending authorization charge” on your credit or debit card statement. Please be assured, this is not an actual charge but a temporary “authorization hold”. Holds are typically for $499, but you may see other amounts. Authorization holds help us ensure that the payment information is valid. They are generally reversed immediately on our end, just keep in mind that it may take 3 to 5 business days for some banks to process.
