  Hi there,
  I’m a teacher from Poland. I’m using WordPress to manage the website of the school I’m working at. We want to buy Premium plan, because the free option has too little space for all our photos. As a school, we don’t have a credit/debit card or a PayPal account. How can we buy the Premium Plan?
  Regards,
  Monika Mojsiejonek

  Hi monikamojsiejonek,

  I’m sorry to say but for payment, WordPress.com accept all major credit and debit cards, and you can also pay directly through your PayPal account.

  I don’t think there’s any other way to pay for the plan.

  Still, I’m leaving modlook tag on this thread calling for staff attention. And see if they can help.

  You can read about Payment methods accepted by WordPress.com here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks :)

  The only accepted means of payment are in this support doc.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country. Note: You can buy a prepaid credit card from an approved country.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:
  https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=13054&topicID=11500008&m=TCI

  NOTE: Payments for WordPress.com subscriptions are recurring you will still need a card connected to your PayPal account, even if you have funds in that account. See also: Payments Using a PayPal Account

  @monikamojsiejonek how does the school typically pay for upgrades such as these? We aren’t able to accept checks; is there a way someone there could pay for the site and be reimbursed?

  @supernovia we usually pay using our school’s bank account. We always have to get the invoice for everything we’ve bought to account for money with the department responsible for the school’s expenses. We don’t use any other methods of payment.

  @monikamojsiejonek and then you pay with a check? We aren’t able to take checks at all, unfortunately.

  Could you check with them to see if they will let you reimburse?
