Step-by-Step Payment Process
1
Choose Your Payment Alternative (Card or Gift Card)
Since many local bank cards are restricted, the first step is to create an account with a global fintech platform like Wise or Payoneer and fund it with the equivalent of at least $25 (to cover the $20 fee plus buffer for taxes and exchange rates). If your country's card isn't restricted, you can use your local bank's card.
💡 Pro tip: Use a service that offers virtual cards with a US or European billing address, as these regions have the highest payment success rates on platforms like OpenAI.
2
Navigate to the ChatGPT Upgrade Page
Log in to your OpenAI account. Locate and click the "Upgrade Plan" option in the user interface, then select "Get Plus" for the $20/month subscription.
3
Enter Virtual/Local Bank Card Details and Billing Address
On the secure payment screen, select Credit Card. Carefully input the virtual card number, expiration date, and CVV. Crucially, use the exact billing address.
