How to Set Up Recurring Payments on Payoneer

If you’re subscribed to a monthly WordPress maintenance plan, you may prefer automatic monthly payments instead of receiving a new invoice every month.

While Payoneer does not currently offer traditional subscription billing like Stripe, some clients choose to set up recurring payments through their bank or card provider using the Payoneer invoice details.

This guide explains the available options and how to simplify monthly payments.

When Recurring Payments Are Useful

Recurring payments are helpful if you are subscribed to a monthly maintenance plan, which typically includes:

• WordPress updates
• Security monitoring
• Backups
• Performance checks
• Ongoing support

Instead of manually paying each month, some clients prefer a scheduled payment through their bank or card provider.

Option 1 — Monthly Invoice (Recommended)

The most common approach is receiving a monthly Payoneer invoice.

Each month you will receive:

• A payment link
• Invoice details
• Payment methods available in your region

You simply open the invoice and complete payment.

This option is:

• Simple
• Flexible
• Easy to manage

For most clients, this works perfectly without requiring additional setup.

Option 2 — Bank Scheduled Payment

Some clients choose to set up a scheduled bank transfer from their banking dashboard.

To do this, you would:

1. Pay the first invoice normally.
2. Save the Payoneer payment details.
3. Schedule a recurring monthly payment from your bank.

Exact steps depend on your bank or payment provider.

Before doing this, confirm the following:

• Monthly plan amount
• Billing date
• Currency used for payment

This helps ensure payments arrive correctly each month.

Option 3 — Pay Through Upwork Direct Contract

For some clients, recurring maintenance payments are handled through Upwork Direct Contracts.

In this case, billing and milestones are managed through the Upwork escrow system instead of Payoneer.

Important Things to Know

Before setting up recurring payments, keep these points in mind:

• Maintenance plans are billed monthly in advance
• Payment confirms the start of the next service cycle
• Pricing and scope should always match your current maintenance plan

If you plan to schedule automatic payments, it’s best to confirm the correct details beforehand.

Payoneer Fees & Currency Conversion

Payoneer fees may vary depending on:

• Payment method
• Currency
• Country of the payer

If You Prefer Manual Monthly Billing

Many clients prefer manual invoices because it provides flexibility.

You can simply pay the invoice each month when it arrives.

This approach also allows you to:

• Review the invoice
• Adjust plans if needed
• Pause services if required

Both options work — choose whichever fits your workflow best.
