# How can contributors update their payment method?

## Contributors can securely update credit cards and subscription amounts via a magic link sent to their email from the RevEngine portal.

If a contributor needs to update the billing information for an active recurring donation, they can change the credit card on file for their payment in RevEngine’s contributor portal.

### **Providing contributors portal access**

Your organization has a unique link to its RevEngine contributor portal. To find it:

1. Sign in to your RevEngine dashboard
2. Select the contribution page to whose portal you want to link
3. Click on the **Grab Link** button on the top bar of your page editor
4. You will be shown links to your live **Contribution Page** and the **Contributor Portal**.

We suggest that you [share this URL with contributors on your main site, contribution page, and email communications](https://news-revenue-hub.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/servicedesk/customer/confluence/shim/spaces/REVENGINE/pages/2783543297/staging+How+do+I+grab+a+contributor+portal+link?parentProduct=JSM-Portal&parentProductContentContainerId=10035&initialAllowedFeatures=disable-login-flow.disable-share&locale=en-US#Why-share-the-contributor-portal-link%3F) to make it easy for them to find.

That link will take them to a portal homepage where contributors input the email address they used to make their contribution. They’ll receive an email with a secure magic link to the portal.

### **Changing the recurring payment method**

In the portal, contributors will find a record of all their payments to your organization. By clicking “**Change payment method**” on active, recurring subscriptions, they will see options to update their payment method information.

**A popup will appear prompting the contributor to:**

- Provide a new credit card number, expiration date, and zip code
- Update the cardholder name

### **NEW: Updating amounts on subscriptions**

Contributors will often look to update the amount on their subscription for future charges, and they can do [so using their portal](https://news-revenue-hub.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11/article/2508390443) if you are on a [**Core or RevEngine + Salesforce**](https://fundjournalism.org/pricing/) plan.

### **Canceling a recurring contribution**

See this article for an outline of how contributors can [cancel their recurring contributions](https://news-revenue-hub.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11/article/2782691330).

If you would like to cancel a contribution on behalf of a contributor, you [can cancel it using Stripe](https://news-revenue-hub.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11/article/2442919937).
