Changing your payment method on Spotify is child’s play.
Here’s how to do it:
- Use your device’s browser to access your Spotify account, as this operation is not possible via the mobile application.
- Log in to your account with your usual login and password.
- Once logged in, go to “Your package” or “Manage your subscription”.
You’ll find all the information you need about your current subscription.
- Enter the new payment details.
Make sure your details are correct and that your card or account has sufficient funds.
- Click “Update” to save changes.
And there you have it!

For those who use a third party (such as a telephone operator), you’ll need to contact them directly to manage your payments.
How to manage your payments and account information on Spotify
Log in to your Spotify account. Once logged in, go to the “Manage your subscription” or “Your package” section. This is where you can update your payment information. Remember that these changes will only take effect on the next billing date.
If you subscribe via a third party, such as a telephone operator, you will need to contact them directly for any payment issues. Spotify cannot handle these transactions for you.
Check that your payment method is funded and that your information is correct. Adding a new payment method may result in a temporary authorization fee, but this will soon disappear. In the event of a payment problem, Spotify will try again within a few days without cancelling your subscription immediately.
Accepted payment methods
Spotify accepts a variety of payment methods to suit our worldwide user base. Credit and debit cards are common, but must be issued in the same region as your Spotify account. PayPal is also a convenient option for many.
However, payment options may vary depending on your country. For example, some countries may offer specific local payment methods. So it’s always a good idea to check the options available in your region directly on the official Spotify website.
A word of advice: make sure your payment method is fully funded to avoid any service interruptions. And if you’re under 18, don’t forget to ask a parent or guardian for authorization to manage your payments. It may seem obvious, but it’s a step that’s often overlooked.
Restrictions on payment methods
Changing your payment method on Spotify seems straightforward, but there are a few restrictions to be aware of. If your subscription is managed by a partner, such as a telephone or Internet service provider, you won’t be able to change your payment details directly on Spotify. In this case, you’ll need to contact that partner for any questions or changes.
What’s more, when adding a new payment method, some suppliers may apply a temporary authorization fee. Rest assured, these fees are usually refunded after verification. Please also note that payment changes only take effect from the next billing date. So, if you change your card today, your old card will continue to be debited until the next due date.
Finally, make sure your payment method has sufficient funds and that your bank details are up to date. Banks may sometimes require identity verification, such as a PIN code or fingerprint, to authorize payments. If a payment fails, Spotify will try again within a few days, without cancelling your subscription immediately.
Payment management: mobile application vs. website
To manage your payments on Spotify, it’s crucial to know where and how to make the necessary changes. Contrary to what you might think, you can’t change your payment details directly via the mobile app. This is an important limitation to bear in mind.
To update your payment card, you need to use either the desktop application or the Spotify website. Here’s how it works:
- Access your Spotify account: Log in to the Spotify website or open the desktop application.
- Go to your account settings: Click on your profile in the top right-hand corner, then select “Account”.
- Update your payment details: In the “Subscription” section, you’ll find an option to change your payment method. Enter your new card details and save the changes.
It’s as simple as that. With just a few clicks, you can ensure that your subscription remains active without interruption. If you have any problems, Spotify offers online support to guide you through the process.
