Payment Methods¶
Set up billing contacts and payment methods for your Leafcloud projects.
How it works: Create a billing contact with your invoice details → Add a payment method (SEPA or credit card) → Assign it to your projects.
Creating a Billing Contact¶
A billing contact contains your invoice details and payment method.
- Go to my.leaf.cloud
- Click "Profiles" in the sidebar (under Billing)
- Click "Create Profile" or "Add Billing Contact"
- Fill in your details:
- Company name or personal name
- Email address for invoices
- Billing address
- VAT number (if applicable)
- Click "Save"
Your billing contact is now created.
Adding a Payment Method¶
Once you have a billing contact, add how you want to pay.
- Open your billing contact (from the Profiles page)
- Click "Add Payment Method"
- Choose your payment type:
- SEPA Direct Debit - Bank account (Europe)
- Credit Card - Visa, Mastercard, etc.
- Enter your payment details
- Click "Save"
Your payment method is now active for this billing contact.
Multiple Payment Methods
You can have multiple billing contacts with different payment methods - useful for separating personal and business projects, or different departments.
Assigning to Projects¶
Now assign which projects use which billing contact.
- Go to "Projects" in the sidebar
- Click on a project to open its details
- Look for the "Billing Contact" or "Billing Profile" section
- Select the billing contact you want to use
- Click "Save"
All charges for this project will now use the selected billing contact and payment method.
Managing Multiple Projects¶
Example: You have a development project and a production project
- Create billing contact "Development" with your company credit card
- Create billing contact "Production" with SEPA direct debit
- Assign dev project → Development contact
- Assign production project → Production contact
Now each project bills separately with different payment methods.
Updating Your Payment Method¶
To change or update your payment details:
- Go to "Profiles" in the sidebar
- Open the billing contact
- Click on the payment method
- Update the details or add a new payment method
- Click "Save"
Changes take effect immediately for future invoices.
Common Questions¶
Can I change billing contacts for an existing project?
Yes, just go to the project details and select a different billing contact.
When will I be charged?

Can I use the same payment method for multiple projects?
