Billing Management
Overview
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date billing information within the Sharpen platform is essential to ensuring uninterrupted service. Outdated or missing billing details can result in suspension of your Sharpen service, the inability to order equipment from the Sharpen store, and being unable to add or purchase additional licenses for new users.
Access to the Billing section requires your assigned User Group to have Billing Options enabled. An administrator can update User Group permissions by navigating to Admin > Settings > User Groups.
Accepted Payment Types
All customers are required to have a valid credit card on file, regardless of their primary payment method. This ensures payment can be processed in the event a scheduled payment is not received on time. Sharpen accepts the following payment types:
Credit Card
Electronic Payment via ACH (Automated Clearing House)
Check (requires prior approval from Sharpen's billing team)
Managing Credit Cards
To view, edit, or add a credit card on file:
Log in to the Sharpen Portal and navigate to Admin > Billing > Credit Cards.
Use the dropdown in the center of the page to view cards currently on file.
From this page you can modify existing card details or add a new credit card.
Note: To remove a credit card from your account, contact billing@sharpencx.com for assistance.
