# How do I add, remove, or set a default payment method?

> Manage the cards, digital wallets, and bank accounts Uplifter charges for your subscription from the Payment Methods card.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * You can save a **card**, a **digital wallet** (Apple Pay or Google Pay), or a **bank account** (ACH in the US, pre-authorized debit in Canada) — any of these can be charged for your subscription.
  * Charges try your **default** method first, then your others in order — keep a working one set as default.
  * **Expired cards are skipped** at charge time; an affected card shows a red **Card expired** or amber **Expiring soon** warning.
  * Removing your default method can affect subscription billing — you're warned before it's removed.
</Note>

Your subscription payment methods live on the **Payment Methods** card at **Settings → Billing & Usage → Subscription Billing**. This is where you keep a valid card, digital wallet, or bank account on file so renewals go through.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a card, digital wallet, or bank account">
    Click **Add Payment Method**, enter a card, digital wallet, or bank account in the secure form, and submit. A card or wallet appears in the list once it's confirmed; a bank account shows **Bank account submitted — verifying with your bank…** while your bank confirms it, then lands in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the default">
    Click the **star** icon on any method to make it your default. The default is tried first on every charge and is marked with a **Default** badge.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove a method">
    Click the **trash** icon, then confirm on the **Remove payment method?** dialog. If it's your default, the dialog warns that removing it may affect your subscription.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Watch the warnings under each card: an amber **Expiring soon** note (with a warning icon) is your cue to add a replacement before the card lapses, and a red **Card expired** note means that card will be skipped on the next charge. Adding a fresh, working card helps keep your renewals going through.
