2. Click on Billing and then My Invoices from the dropdown
3. Locate your service renewal invoice, it should be marked as Unpaid. Click directly on your invoice to open it up.
4. On your invoice, locate the Apply Credit section. Specify the amount to apply to the invoice in the Enter the amount to apply field, this will be automatically adjusted to the invoice total and/or credit balance total.
5. After you’ve specified the amount, click the Apply Credit button. If your credit balance covers the entire invoice, there is nothing else to do. If it does not, you can process the remaining balance immediately with your default credit card on file or leave it to process automatically by the system on the invoice due date.
