## Metered or usage-based billing options

The supported payment methods for metered billing:

* Invoice – Managed accounts only
* Credit card – Unmanaged accounts, or as a nonrecurring method for managed accounts
* PayPal – Unmanaged accounts, or as a nonrecurring method for managed accounts
* Azure Subscription ID – Not available for personal accounts
* Automated Clearing House (ACH) – Managed accounts only

Accounts with volume licenses and metered billing can use multiple payment methods.

* For unmanaged accounts, you might pay for volume licenses with a credit card or PayPal, and metered usage with an Azure Subscription ID.
* For managed accounts, you might pay for volume licenses via invoice, and metered usage via Azure Subscription ID.

{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} standalone accounts, which traditionally used Azure Subscription IDs, can now also pay by credit card. Contact your {% data variables.product.github %} representative for details.
