Enable the account balance payment method
In CertCentral CertCentral, in the left main menu, go to Finances > Settings.

In the Payment Settings section, select Bill to account balance.
When using an account balance, ensure you always have sufficient funds available. To deposit funds, in the left main menu, go to Finances > Deposit Funds.
Keep the Use a credit card payment method enabled if you want to pay by credit card for certificate orders.
Set up account credit as the default payment method (optional*)
Do you want to use your account balance as the default payment method for your account?
If yes, in the Default Payment Method menu, select Bill to account balance.
Making your account balance the default payment method doesn't prevent you from using a credit card to pay for a certificate order. When you order a certificate, the Bill to account balance payment method is preselected. You can still pay with a credit card if you've kept the "Use a credit card" payment method active on your account.
