# Add Account Payment Method

**Where to find it:** Profile → Payment

Your saved payment method is used to pay for shipping labels and any other purchases you make within the Local Pass platform. All payments are securely processed by **Stripe** — your card details are never stored on Local Pass servers.

## Adding or changing a card

1. Tap **Add New Card** if no card is saved yet, or **Change Card** to replace an existing one
2. A secure Stripe payment sheet will open
3. Enter your card details in the Stripe form
4. Tap **Add** or **Save** inside the payment sheet
5. Your card details will be synced automatically to your account

A green confirmation message will appear when the card is updated successfully.

## Your card visual

The card preview on screen is styled like a Local Pass card and shows:

* **Last 4 digits** and **expiry date** of your saved card
* **Card brand** (e.g., VISA, MASTERCARD)
* Your **Rewards Balance** shown as a coin icon with your dollar amount
* Your city's **Local Pass artwork** as the card background

## What your card is used for

Your card is only charged in specific situations:

| Charge type            | Description                                             |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Shipping labels**    | Purchasing a label when shipping an order to a customer |
| **Platform purchases** | Any other items or services you buy within Local Pass   |

<Note>
  Simply saving your card does not result in any charge. You are only billed when you take an action that requires payment, such as buying a shipping label.
</Note>

## Security

* All card processing is handled by **Stripe**, a PCI-DSS compliant payment provider
* Local Pass never stores your full card number or CVV
* Your card details are encrypted end-to-end through Stripe's secure payment sheet

## Troubleshooting

**Card was declined:** Check that the billing address and card details match your bank records. Contact your bank if the issue persists.

**Card won't save:** Ensure you have a stable internet connection and try again. If the problem continues, contact support at [support@imlocal.ca](mailto:support@imlocal.ca).
