Optimize your Slack subscription: Payments & Billing
Choose the payment method that best fits your Slack plan and ensure seamless billing with our tips.
Slack payment methods in comparison
Slack offers you two different payment methods. You can pay your invoice amount by credit card or by bank transfer.
Pay for Slack by credit card
Credit cards are the preferred payment method by Slack. They ensure reliable and faster payments for the provider and your company. Only with a credit card you get the option of monthly billing. You are also allowed to switch between monthly and annual billing.
The billing amount will be charged directly from the added credit card and Slack will send you a receipt via email. All your card details are managed on the billing page.
In Europe, Slack accepts Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, JCB and American Express credit cards.
Add new credit card as default payment method
In the payment settings, a new credit card can be added or an old card removed at any time.

Select your workspace by clicking on the name of your workspace in the upper left corner on the desktop.
Billing
In the menu, navigate to Settings & administration, then Billing and select Payment methods.

Set your new card as the default payment method by providing your card details.
Remove card
