Personal account information
From ISPWiki
Balance of account in BILLmanager refers to the amount of money available on a customer's personal account. Positive balance means that you may order new services and pay for those that you already use according to the provider's billing policy. If the balance of account is negative, you should add funds to your account otherwise you will not be able order and use the products and services. The provider can create pre-defined messages to inform his client about insufficient funds on his account.
The Personal account information module displaces the balance of the customer's account or accounts in the corresponding currency and allows to add funds to the account. The customer may have several accounts depending on the currency, amount of the services ordered and other parameters.
For more information about the provider's billing policy, please read Debiting the client's account.
To credit your account, you should have at least one payer who will be invoiced for the ordered services.
You may choose the most convenient payment method from the drop-down menu. If you have failed to find the one you need, you should select another payer (if any), because the list of available payment methods may vary depending on the payer's status (company or individual) and country.
