Manage your Jetpack billing and payments

You can manage your Jetpack purchases, payment methods, and billing from your WordPress.com account.

This page includes information on billing for Jetpack plans purchased via WordPress.com or Jetpack.com only. For billing information on plans purchased through Jetpack Manage (formerly Pro Dashboard), please refer to the Jetpack Manage: Billing/Payment FAQs page.

Jetpack plan license usage

An individual Jetpack product license or plan (like Jetpack Security or Jetpack Complete) can only be activated on one site. If you’re interested in using Jetpack plans or products on multiple sites, please purchase a license for each site. If you manage multiple sites, you could also consider Automattic for Agencies. Manage multiple sites from a single dashboard and access flexible billing with bulk discounts.

If you are looking for ways to save money by downgrading your current Jetpack plan, please contact support for assistance and recommendations.

Cancel your plan

Cancelling your plan will result in two possible outcomes: 

  • Cancelling within the refund period: If you cancel your plan within the refund period, your purchase will be removed from your site immediately and a refund will be issued. If you want to continue to use your plan until the plan expiration date, you should cancel your plan after the refund period has passed instead.
  • Cancelling after the refund period: If you cancel your plan after the refund period, you can continue to use your plan. When the plan expiration date is reached, the plan will be automatically removed from your site.

We offer a 14-day refund period for yearly plans and a 7-day refund period for monthly plans.

Here is how to cancel your Jetpack plan:

  1. Make sure you are logged into the WordPress.com account which owns or manages the plan.
  2. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases. You should see a list of all of your active purchases.
  3. Find the plan that you would like to refund, and click on it. This will take you to a page for that plan.
  4. At the bottom of the page, click Cancel [PLAN NAME]. If you do not see an option to request a refund, it is because you are outside the refund window.
  5. Follow the prompts to complete the cancellation process.
  6. You should see a message if your cancellation was successful, and you will receive a confirmation email containing your cancellation information.

Reactivate a cancelled subscription

If you cancelled your subscription within the refund period and a refund was issued, you can’t reactivate the subscription. You will need to purchase a new subscription.

If you cancelled your subscription after the refund period, and the plan has not yet expired, you can reactivate the subscription. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases and click Re-activate subscription. This will turn on auto-renewal and your subscription will renew automatically on the renewal date.

If a plan was automatically cancelled due to payment failures, locate it at https://wordpress.com/me/purchases and check if the Renew now option is still available. Depending on that, either click Renew now or re-purchase the product.

You may have a legacy product which we no longer sell directly. If that is the case, you will not see product available on our Pricing Page. Please contact support directly and we will assist.

Cancellation Email

When your plan is cancelled (and refunded if eligible), you should receive an email with information about the cancellation. If you do not receive the cancellation confirmation email, please do the following: 

  1. Make sure you’re checking the right inbox. The cancellation email will be sent to the address listed in your Account Settings.
  2. Check your email’s spam folder.
  3. Add help@wordpress.com to your contact list to allow our emails.
  4. If you still don’t see the cancellation email, please contact support directly for assistance.

Request a refund

If you’re not satisfied with your Jetpack plan, our refund policy is that we will issue a full refund in these timeframes, no questions asked:

  • Yearly Plans: eligible for a full refund if requested within 14 days of purchase. We do not provide prorated refunds for plans outside the 14 day refund timeframe.
  • Monthly Plans: are eligible for a full refund of the current month’s charges within 7 days of purchase. 

If your plan falls outside our refund timeframes, you may still cancel your plan, but you will not be eligible for a refund. Instead of cancelling, we would love to work with you to troubleshoot the problem and get you back on track.

If you do receive a refund, we will cancel your plan immediately, and you won’t be able to use any of the paid features of that plan any longer.

Within the refund timeframe, you can request a refund by following these steps: 

  1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases. You should see a list of all of your active purchases.
  2. Find the plan that you would like to refund, and click on it. This will take you to a page for that plan.
  3. At the bottom of the page, click on Cancel Subscription and Refund. If you do not see an option to request a refund, it is because you are outside the refund window.
  4. Follow the prompts to complete the refund process.
  5. You should see a message if your cancellation was successful, and you will receive a confirmation email containing your cancellation and refund information.

Payment method and refund wait times

Your refund will be sent to the same payment method you used for your purchase. If the payment method used to purchase your Jetpack plan is no longer available, your financial institution will be able to tell you how and when you will receive your refund.

After processing, refunds usually take about ten days to appear on your statement. For credit card refunds, it could take up to 1 to 2 billing cycles for the refund to show up.

International refunds can take even longer to reach you. Your financial institution will be able to tell you when to expect the refund and how it will be listed on your statement.

Automatic renewals

By default, Jetpack plans are set to automatically renew to ensure there’s no disruption in service or loss of features. Automatic renewal ensures that everything is taken care of in advance and allows time to resolve any issues with payment.

  • If you purchased a Jetpack plan during a promotional period, used a coupon code, or received a discount, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription when the plan renews next. 
  • Renewal occurs on the expiration date for both yearly and monthly plans, unless you cancel before the date.

Respond to a failed renewal email

If you are trying to fix a failed renewal and see the message This renewal is invalid. Please verify that you are logged into the correct account for the product you want to renew., this probably means you are logged into a different account than the one that owns the product.

Try logging out of WordPress.com and logging back in with the email address the email was sent to.

If you are still having trouble, please contact support and include the transaction ID from a recent purchase.

Change your plan billing cycle

If you want to modify your billing period from monthly to yearly or from yearly to monthly renewals, please contact our support. Note that the monthly cost may vary depending on the billing frequency; you can compare our current pricing here.

Important: Currently, our Jetpack VaultPress Backup storage add-on plans are only available with monthly billing. Storage add-on plans cannot be converted to annual renewal at this time.

You can upgrade the billing period (from monthly to yearly) directly from https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/ uniquely for Security or Complete bundles. For other changes in the billing cycle, please contact support for assistance.

Value-added tax or Goods and Services Tax (VAT/GST)

We charge on purchases and renewals per the tax rules in certain jurisdictions. The tax will be displayed on checkout as an independent line item. You can also find the tax charge on your billing receipt.

VAT/GST registered businesses may not be required to pay tax at checkout and can enter a valid VAT/GST ID to avoid being charged tax on their purchases and renewals. You are not required to add a VAT/GST ID to purchase or renew a subscription; you will be charged accordingly.

EU-based users can check the VAT Information Exchange System(VIES) FAQ, which answers common questions. Users based in other locals should check their locale’s specific consumption-tax rules.

Get a VAT receipt/invoice

Ensure your VAT details are displayed on your billing receipt/invoice by adding your VAT details to your WordPress.com account:

  1. Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/billing.
  2. Click on Add Business Tax ID details
  3. Fill in your information
  4. Click Validate and save.

  • company’s name
  • business address
  • VAT information

Once we validate your information, we will send a VAT receipt the email address on your WordPress.com account.

Get a W-9 form

If you need a W-9 tax form for your accounting purposes, please contact support.

Transaction IDs

When you make a Jetpack purchase or upgrade, we generate a unique transaction ID to identify your transaction. It’s a string of text made up of both letters and numbers. We may request the transaction ID to look up your purchase, or to verify your account ownership.

Transaction ID on your purchase receipt

You can find the transaction ID for your Jetpack plan on the receipt from your plan purchase or renewal. You can view your receipts by going to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/billing. From there, click View receipt for the associated plan. On the receipt, locate the Transaction ID.

Transaction IDs on your credit card statement

You can find the transaction ID for your Jetpack plan on your bank or credit card statement. It will be a 9 or 10 character code that looks something like one of the following:

  • JETPACK A1B2C3D4E5
  • WP*JETPACK A1B2C3D4E

Transaction IDs from PayPal purchases

If you purchased your Jetpack plan using PayPal, you can find the transaction ID by following these steps: 

  1. Log into your PayPal account.
  2. Click Activity.
  3. Using the dropdown menus, select the time period in which the purchase was made. You can also specify the type of transaction you’re looking for; in this case, select Payments Sent.
  4. Click on the transaction titled Jetpack and this will show you the details of the purchase.
  5. In the receipt, locate the Transaction ID. This is your 17-character transaction ID. Copy and paste this number where requested, and you’re good to go!

Unrecognized charges

Charges from WordPress.com will have “WordPress” or “WPCHRG.com” listed on your billing statement. If you are unsure what this charge was for, you can search for more information and/or contact Billing Support on the WordPress.com billing information page.

Jetpack for nonprofits

Jetpack does not offer special pricing or discounts for nonprofit organizations (NPOs). However, nonprofits can sign up for Jetpack Free or save on paid plans by purchasing an annual plan.

Pay with PayPal

Use the PayPal Payment Buttons block to securely collect payments or donations on your Jetpack site via PayPal.

This block replaces the older Pay with PayPal block, which is now deprecated. See the Legacy “Pay with PayPal” Block paragraph at the bottom of this page.

Requirements to use the PayPal payment button block

To use the PayPal Payment Buttons block, you’ll need the following:

  • A PayPal Business account connected to your bank account to receive payments.
  • A WordPress site with the Jetpack plugin installed and connected.
  • The Jetpack Blocks feature enabled in your WordPress editor.

Jetpack Blocks require the Block Editor (also referred to as the Gutenberg editor). If you’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin, you have a few options:

  • Deactivate the Classic Editor: Go to PluginsInstalled Plugins in your WP Admin and deactivate the Classic Editor plugin.
  • Enable both editors: If you prefer flexibility, navigate to Settings → Writing in your WP Admin (not the menu under Jetpack settings). Set Allow users to switch editors to Yes. You will only see these options if you have the Classic Editor plugin installed and active.

Some custom themes or plugins may prevent you from using the Block Editor. In that case, please contact the support team for the plugin or theme for further assistance.

For more details, see Using Blocks and the Classic Editor.

Add a Pay with PayPal block

You can add the PayPal Payment Buttons block directly to your post or page in the WordPress block editor, and then configure the button through your PayPal account.

Step 1: add the PayPal Payment Buttons block

  1. Go to your site’s Dashboard.
  2. Open the page or post where you’d like to add the payment button.
  3. Click the + Block Inserter icon and search for “PayPal.”
  4. Select PayPal Payment Buttons from the list.

You’ll see a placeholder block where you can later paste the button code generated by PayPal.

Step 2: create the PayPal button code

Next, you’ll create your PayPal button from your PayPal account:

  1. In the block, click “Sign up” or “Log in” to open PayPal’s Build your Payment Links and Buttons page.
    • Alternatively, go to your PayPal account → Pay & Get Paid → Create Payment Links and Buttons.
  2. Select Payment Buttons.
  3. Fill in your product or donation details (name, description, price, etc.).
  4. Click Build it to generate your button code.
  5. On the “Your buttons are ready” screen:
    • Choose Stacked Buttons or Single Button at the top.
    • Copy the HTML button code displayed on the right.
  6. Paste the copied code into the PayPal Payment Buttons block on your site.
    • For Stacked Buttons, paste both code sections into the two fields provided.
    • For Single Button, switch the block to “Single Button” mode and paste the single code section.

Taking payments with PayPal

When a visitor clicks your PayPal payment button, a new PayPal window opens to complete the checkout securely.

Visitors can pay using:

  • Their PayPal account (balance, linked credit card, or bank).
  • PayPal Credit, if available.
  • A credit or debit card, even without a PayPal account.

All payments are sent directly to the PayPal account used to create the button code.

Test a payment (optional)

If you want to test the checkout flow, you can use a PayPal Developer (Sandbox) account.

  1. Log in to your PayPal Developer Dashboard.
  2. Create sandbox business and personal accounts.
  3. Use the sandbox business account to create a test button and add its code to your site.
  4. Publish the post or page.
  5. Complete the checkout using your sandbox personal account.

Successful test payments appear in your sandbox business account.

Selling products and shipping

If you’re selling physical products, keep in mind:

  • The PayPal button does not automatically calculate tax or shipping costs. You should include these in your listed price.
  • PayPal will collect the shipping address and send it to you along with the payment confirmation.

If you need advanced e-commerce features such as shopping carts, tax calculation, or product management, consider using WooCommerce instead.

Collecting your funds

To ensure payments reach you correctly, please check the following are in place:

  • Your site’s Privacy settings must be set to Public.
  • Verify that PayPal supports online payments in your country.
  • Payments are deposited into the PayPal account linked to the email address you used in the button setup.

For each purchase:

  • PayPal sends a confirmation email to you and to the purchaser.
  • Jetpack will also send a purchase confirmation email and a monthly transaction report to the site owner’s account email.

If your PayPal email isn’t linked to an existing PayPal account, PayPal will email you instructions to claim your funds.

Understanding fees

PayPal applies a transaction fee to each payment.
Fees vary by payment type and location. See PayPal’s fee documentation for current rates.

Jetpack does not charge additional fees or take a percentage of your payments.

Legacy “Pay with PayPal” block

The older Pay with PayPal block is now deprecated and replaced by the PayPal Payment Buttons block.
Existing instances of the legacy block will continue to work, but we recommend switching to the new block for improved reliability, security, and compatibility.

Still need help?

Please contact support. We’re happy to advise.

Privacy Information

The Pay with PayPal block is deactivated by default, and unlocking it requires an upgrade to the Growth, Security or Complete plan. If you have access to this feature, there is no way to deactivate it entirely — but if you are not using the feature, its code will not run on your site.

To make the block work, we need to integrate with third-party cloud services (such as the PayPal API), send notification emails and summaries, and store tokens and API keys in a PCI-compliant manner.

Please note that payments are processed via PayPal, so we also recommend reviewing its privacy policy and documentation.
