GitHub is now accepting PayPal, in addition to credit cards, to pay for personal plans and organization accounts.
We’ve been working closely with Braintree to deliver PayPal payments using their brand new APIs and we’re pretty excited with the result. You can use PayPal whether you’re just signing up, looking to upgrade, or want to switch off credit card payments.
Paying for GitHub with PayPal has never been easier or looked better, and we’re hoping that no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to use GitHub to build something great!
For more information, see “Paying for your GitHub user account” or “Paying for your GitHub organization account” in the GitHub Help.
