# Fix "Invalid Payment Method" in the reseller modules
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/reseller/elite-domain-reseller-module-whmcs-local-api-error-invalid-payment-method



Ordering through the Elite or Domain Reseller module fails with:

```
WHMCS local API error: Invalid Payment Method. Valid options include
banktransfer, gocardless, paypal, paypalcheckout, stripe, worldpayfuturepay
```

Applies to reseller accounts using those modules.

## Why [#why]

The module requires a **default payment method** set on your WebGee profile. It
is a prerequisite for using the module at all, and the order is rejected without
one.

<Callout type="info">
  **The payment method is not charged for these orders.** Module orders are paid
  from your **credit balance**. The stored method exists as a fallback if
  something goes wrong with credit billing, so access to the modules is not
  interrupted while it is sorted out.

  This is why the requirement is not obvious: nothing about the order suggests a
  card is involved, and none is charged.
</Callout>

## Fix it [#fix-it]

1. Sign in to the [WebGee client area](https://my.webgee.com).
2. Go to **Billing → Payment Methods**.
3. Add a method and set it as the **default**.

Any of the listed options works — bank transfer, GoCardless, PayPal, Stripe,
WorldPay.

Retry the order.

## Keep your credit topped up [#keep-your-credit-topped-up]

Module orders draw on your credit balance, so an empty balance stops
provisioning even with a payment method on file. Top it up under **Billing → Add
Funds**.

## If it still fails [#if-it-still-fails]

* **The method is added but not set as default.** The module reads the default
  specifically.
* **The credit balance is insufficient** for the order.
* **The error names a different problem.** The message above is specific to the
  payment method; anything else needs a ticket with the full response.
