How to Choose Your Payment Method: Credit Card vs. PayPal (Trial Period Limitation)
Step-by-Step Guide: The Path to Your Payment Method
To set your payment method, please follow these steps:
- Log in to your WeSendit® account.
- Navigate to My Account in the menu and select Payment Settings.
- Scroll to the Payment Method section.
- Select your preferred option: Credit Card or PayPal.
- Please read the following section carefully before confirming your choice, as this directly impacts your trial period.
Option 1: Payment via Credit Card (With 14-day free trial)
This is the recommended option if you want to test our service risk-free first.
- How it works: You enter your credit card details. Your account is registered for the regular subscription, but billing is paused.
- Your Benefit: You can use all premium features for 14 days absolutely free of charge. There will be no charge before this period expires.
- Important: If you cancel within the 14 days, you will incur no costs at all.
Option 2: Payment via PayPal (Immediate subscription start)
Choose this option if you want to start with the regular runtime immediately and have no interest in the trial period.
- How it works: You link your PayPal account. The subscription is activated immediately.
- Payments: The first subscription fee will be debited from your PayPal account immediately upon registration.
- Important: Selecting PayPal completely and irrevocably waives the 14-day free trial period.
What You Need to Know About the PayPal Limitation
The omission of the trial period when using PayPal is due to purely technical and regional reasons:
- Technical Limitation: The specific subscription model required for our free trial period is unfortunately not supported by PayPal Switzerland at this time.
- Ongoing Optimization: However, our development team is already working hard on a solution to resolve this limitation.
Conclusion
If you absolutely want to use the 14-day free trial period, we recommend choosing the credit card option when registering. You can switch your payment method to PayPal at any time in your account settings after the trial period has expired.
