Introduction
PayPal is one of the most widely used payment methods in the world thanks to its security, speed and convenience. Truobox accepts PayPal payments so you can keep your hosting, VPS and domain services current without any hassle, no matter what country you’re in.
This guide explains, step by step, how to pay an outstanding invoice through PayPal from your Truobox client area. The whole process takes less than two minutes.
What you need before you start
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- An active Truobox account with at least one unpaid invoice.
- A PayPal account with available balance or a linked credit/debit card.
- Access to the email address registered with Truobox (it’s your login username).
Step 1: Log in to the client area
Go to the Truobox home page and click “My Account” in the top right corner. The login page will open, where you’ll enter your registered email address and password.
If you’ve forgotten your password, use the “Forgot Password?” option to reset it by email.
Step 2: Check for pending invoice notifications
Once you’re signed in, the main dashboard of your client area shows notifications about any overdue or unpaid invoices. It’s a quick way to see whether you have payments to make.
Keeping your invoices current matters, because it prevents interruptions to your hosting, VPS or domain services.
Step 3: Go to the billing section
In the main menu of the client area, click “Billing” and then select “My Invoices”. This section shows a complete list of all your invoices, both paid and unpaid.
Each invoice displays key information:
- Invoice number as a unique reference.
- Issue date of the invoice.
- Payment status (paid, unpaid, overdue).
- Total amount due.
Step 4: Select the invoice you want to pay
Find the unpaid invoice you want to settle and click it to see the full details. In the detailed view you’ll see:
- The description of the product or service tied to the invoice (for example, “Web Hosting - Starter Plan” or “NVMe VPS - 2GB RAM”).
- The billing period covered by the payment.
- The total amount charged, including any applicable taxes.
Confirm the information is correct before proceeding with payment.
Step 5: Choose PayPal as your payment method
On the invoice details page, look for the available payment methods section. Select PayPal as your preferred option.
If you have other payment methods set up on your account, make sure you specifically choose PayPal before continuing.
Step 6: Complete the payment on PayPal
Click the “Make Payment” button. You’ll be redirected automatically to the official PayPal site, where you can complete the transaction securely.
On the PayPal page:
- Sign in to your PayPal account if you haven’t already.
- Review the amount being charged and confirm it matches your invoice.
- Choose your funding source (PayPal balance, linked card or bank account).
- Confirm the payment by clicking the corresponding button.
Once the payment goes through, PayPal returns you to the Truobox client area, where you’ll see your invoice marked as paid.
