How to Make a Payment at TakeProfitTrader

TakeProfitTrader offers three payment methods: debit/credit card, PayPal, and wallet balance. Most traders use a card for their first Test account purchase, then switch to wallet payments once they start withdrawing profits from PRO accounts.

Understanding how each payment method works—especially the wallet system—helps you avoid payment failures, missed renewals, and unnecessary subscription charges. This guide walks through all three payment options, when to use each one, and how to avoid common payment issues.

Tested firsthand: I've traded multiple TakeProfitTrader accounts—passed evaluations, activated PRO, dealt with the intraday trailing drawdown switch, and withdrawn real money. What you're reading comes from live funded trading, not from reading their marketing page.

For the complete breakdown of every TakeProfitTrader account tier—including how Test, PRO, and PRO+ differ in drawdown rules, profit splits, and position limits, plus which account size actually makes sense for your trading style—read my full TakeProfitTrader accounts overview.

Overview: Three Ways to Pay

TakeProfitTrader accepts payments through:

1. Debit/Credit Card – Direct card payment, good for first purchases
2. PayPal – Third-party payment processor, useful if you don't want to share card details
3. Wallet – Internal balance funded from PRO account withdrawals, best for ongoing subscriptions

All three methods work for:

• Test account purchases
• Monthly subscription renewals
• PRO account activation fees ($130)
• Test account resets ($100)

Important: You select your payment method during checkout. For monthly subscriptions, your chosen method auto-renews every 30 days unless you change it or cancel.

Method 1: Debit/Credit Card

Card payments are the most straightforward option, especially for your first purchase when you don't have wallet balance yet.

How to pay with a card

Step 1: Select your account or service

Choose the Test account size you want to purchase (e.g., $50K, $100K, $150K) or the service you need (reset, PRO activation).

Step 2: Apply promo codes if available

Enter any discount codes before selecting payment method. Promo codes can reduce monthly subscription costs by 30-50%.

Step 3: Click "Bank/Credit Card" option

On the checkout page, select the debit/credit card payment option.

Step 4: Enter your card details

Input:

• Card number
• Expiration date (MM/YY)
• CVV (3-digit security code)
• Billing zip code

Step 5: Submit payment

Click "Complete Purchase" or "Submit Payment." You'll receive an email confirmation within minutes.

When card payments work best

• First Test account purchase – No wallet balance exists yet
• One-time payments – Resets or PRO activation when you don't want to use wallet funds
• Backup payment method – If your wallet balance runs low before renewal

Card payment considerations

Subscription auto-renewal: If you purchase a Test account with a card, that card will be charged automatically every 30 days until you pass your Test, cancel your subscription, or change your payment method.

International cards: Most international debit and credit cards work, but some banks block payments to online trading platforms. If your card is declined, try PayPal instead.

Card security: TakeProfitTrader uses secure payment processing. Your card details are encrypted and not stored on TakeProfitTrader's servers.

Method 2: PayPal

PayPal works well if you prefer not to enter card details directly or if you're using PayPal balance.

How to pay with PayPal

Step 1: Select your account or service

Choose the Test account size or service you're purchasing.

Step 2: Apply promo codes

Enter discount codes before proceeding to payment.

Step 3: Click "PayPal" option

On the checkout page, select PayPal as your payment method.

Step 4: Log in to PayPal

You'll be redirected to PayPal's login screen. Enter your PayPal email and password.

Step 5: Review and accept terms

PayPal shows the payment amount and frequency:

• One-time payments (resets, PRO activation): Authorize TakeProfitTrader to charge once
• Subscriptions (monthly Test accounts): Authorize recurring charges every 30 days

Review the amount and billing schedule, then click "Agree & Continue."

Step 6: Confirmation

After authorizing payment, you'll return to TakeProfitTrader with a confirmation message. For subscriptions, you'll see your next payment date and amount.

Managing PayPal subscriptions

Important: You don't need to cancel subscriptions in PayPal. Cancel directly from your TakeProfitTrader dashboard in the Subscriptions section. Cancelling through PayPal doesn't update your TakeProfitTrader account status properly.

Changing payment methods: If you started with PayPal but want to switch to card or wallet, update your payment method in your dashboard before your next renewal date.

When PayPal works best

• If you don't want to share card details – PayPal acts as an intermediary
• International payments – Sometimes easier than international card processing
• Using PayPal balance – If you have funds in your PayPal account

PayPal payment considerations

Insufficient PayPal balance: If your PayPal account doesn't have enough balance, PayPal pulls from your linked bank account or card. Make sure your PayPal funding sources are up to date.

PayPal disputes: If you have issues with a charge, contact TakeProfitTrader support first. PayPal disputes can complicate account access.

Method 3: Wallet (Internal Balance)

The wallet system is TakeProfitTrader's internal balance feature. Once you start withdrawing profits from PRO accounts, you can keep some funds in your wallet to cover Test subscriptions, resets, or PRO activations.

How the wallet works

Your wallet balance comes from:

• PRO account withdrawals you choose to keep in your account
• Partial withdrawals where you leave some profit in the wallet

Example: You have $5,000 in PRO account profits. You withdraw $4,500 to your bank account and leave $500 in your wallet. That $500 can now pay for:

• 2-3 months of a $50K Test subscription (~$170/month)
• A Test account reset ($100)
• Part of a PRO activation fee ($130)

How to pay with wallet balance

Step 1: Build wallet balance

During a PRO account withdrawal, choose to keep some funds in your wallet instead of withdrawing everything. You can also transfer profits to your wallet from the Wallet section in your dashboard.

Step 2: Check wallet balance before checkout

View your current wallet balance in your dashboard. Make sure you have enough to cover the purchase.

Step 3: Select wallet option at checkout

If your wallet has sufficient funds, the "Wallet" payment option will be available and highlighted. If insufficient funds, the wallet option is grayed out.

Step 4: Complete purchase

Click the wallet option and confirm. Payment is instant—no credit card processing or PayPal authorization needed.

Wallet for subscription renewals

Automatic renewal from wallet: If you use wallet balance for a Test subscription, renewals automatically deduct from your wallet every 30 days—as long as sufficient balance exists.

Insufficient wallet funds: If your wallet doesn't have enough for the next renewal, TakeProfitTrader sends an email notification 5 days before renewal asking you to add funds or change your payment method.

What happens if you ignore the notification: Your subscription may fail to renew, disabling your Test account. You'd need to purchase a new Test account or reactivate your subscription.

Pro tip: Keep at least 2-3 months of subscription costs in your wallet if you're using it for auto-renewals. For a $50K account at $170/month, that's $500+ cushion.

When wallet payments work best

• Covering subscriptions from PRO profits – Use your earnings to fund your Test accounts
• Testing multiple account sizes – Keep wallet balance to quickly purchase different account sizes
• Avoiding external payment methods – No card declines or PayPal issues

Changing Payment Methods

You can change your payment method anytime before your next renewal.

How to update your payment method

Step 1: Log in to your dashboard

Go to takeprofittrader.com and log in.

Step 2: Go to Subscriptions

Click the "Subscriptions" or "My Subscriptions" section.

Step 3: Select the subscription to update

Find the Test account whose payment method you want to change.

Step 4: Click "Update Payment Method"

Choose your new payment method (card, PayPal, or wallet if sufficient balance).

Step 5: Confirm

Save your changes. Your next renewal will use the new payment method.

Important: Update your payment method at least 24 hours before your renewal date to ensure the change processes properly.

Payment Method Comparison

FAQ: Payments at TakeProfitTrader

What payment methods does TakeProfitTrader accept? Debit/credit cards, PayPal, and internal wallet balance. Crypto and other payment methods are not currently supported.

Can I use a prepaid card? Some prepaid cards work, but many are declined because they can't process recurring subscriptions. Try PayPal if your prepaid card fails.

Are there payment fees? No, TakeProfitTrader doesn't charge payment processing fees. The price you see at checkout is what you pay.

What if my payment fails? Check your email for details, verify your payment method is valid, and try again. If issues persist, contact support or use a different payment method.

Can I split payment between wallet and card? Not yet. TakeProfitTrader is developing partial wallet payment functionality. Currently, wallet must cover the full amount or you use card/PayPal.

How do I cancel recurring payments? Cancel your subscription from your TakeProfitTrader dashboard, not from PayPal or your bank.

When does my subscription renew? Exactly 30 days from your purchase time. If you bought at 2:47 PM on January 15th, renewal is 2:47 PM on February 15th.

What happens if my card expires before renewal? Update your payment method before expiration to avoid failed renewal and account suspension.

Bottom Line

TakeProfitTrader accepts three payment methods: debit/credit card (best for first purchases), PayPal (good for international or if avoiding direct card entry), and wallet balance (ideal for PRO traders covering subscriptions from profits).

Card and PayPal payments are straightforward—just select your option at checkout and follow the prompts. Wallet payments require sufficient balance from PRO account withdrawals and auto-deduct for renewals with a 5-day warning if funds are low. Update payment methods at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid failed charges, and remember you can switch between payment methods anytime in your dashboard's Subscriptions section.
