Overview

You can update the credit card or payment method linked to your Magic Hour account at any time in My Plan. This is useful when your card expires, changes, or you want to use a different card for billing.

Prerequisites

  • An active Magic Hour account with a subscription or billing history

  • A valid credit card or supported payment method

  • Access to your account settings

Before you begin

Magic Hour accepts all major credit and debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as alternate payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, AliPay, and more depending on your region. Payment processing is handled securely through our payment provider Stripe.

Change your payment method

  1. Sign in to your Magic Hour account.

  2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select My Plan

  3. Under Update Payment Method, select the payment method you'd like to update.

  4. Stripe portal will open in a new tab. There, enter your new payment method details.

  5. Click Save.

Expected result: Your payment method updates immediately. You'll see a confirmation message on screen and may receive a confirmation email. Your new card will be used for all future charges.

Your payment method is updated securely. Magic Hour doesn't store full card details—only your payment provider has access to sensitive information.
