The default payment method is the first to be used when purchasing something on Joomag. You should have at least two valid payment options to be able to set the default one. In case you have just one payment method it will automatically be marked as default. **Note**: In case you do not have a sufficient amount on the default payment method, the next linked payment method will be used instead. To set the default payment method, follow these steps: **1.** From the top right dropdown menu select the **Account settings** option. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio4005453937e333e2fa1d58091eaade6871t8F-OOnb9sCFdX7YURpCL2vMVzmTrzQE-e=download-1.png) **2.** Go to the **Payments** tab**.** ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio400545395814f8e272a006e3ae78bf74d1mtkOFuw8JjHQCmFqiZCT1M7KC2XoJrJu-e=download-1.png) **3.** Choose the payment method you wish to mark as default and click the **Setting** button on the right corner. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio4005454017ab6ad32f90f02c21ab2b5d91hkL8DoKx5BZGCMQxbpQzeAvhO8s1uhWY-e=download-1.png) **4.** Click the **Set as default** button. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio400545405042032e7e48e3e827a64c55f1EeOK6P8T4ajL6QOI0neU9wbzpOFOZzg9-e=download-1.png) There you are, now you have set a default payment method!
