Payment Options
The Premium access offers several payment options: * Recurring payments (via Xsolla), with automatic renewal each 1, 3, 6 or 12 months.
- One-time payments (via Xsolla) : punctual payments of 1, 3, 6 ou 12 months, which can be cumulated with other one-time payments.
- Short duration one-time payments (via Xsolla) : punctual payments of 1, 2, 5 ou 7 days, which can be cumulated with other one-time payments.
- One-time payments (via Paypall) : punctual payments of 1, 3, 6 ou 12 months, but also of 2, 3, 5 or 7 days, which can be cumulated with other one-time payments.
- One-time payments (via Steam) : available only if the Ryzom account is linked to a Steam account. In this case, the payment options listed above are not accessible
Both Xsolla and Steam accept a wide variety of payment methods.
The recurring subscription via Xsolla
How to activate the recurring subscription?
Choose the first subscription option (Recurring Payments) and enter the requested information.
How to switch from a one-time payment via Paypal to a recurring subscription?
Choose the first subscription option (Recurring Payments) and enter the requested information.
Please note that the recurring subscription via Xsolla starts on the same day as the subscription, but that the next payment is delayed of the number of Premium days you have left. So you don't lose any Premium days paid via Paypal.
How to activate a recurring subscription if the Ryzom account is linked to a Steam account?
Payments via Steam being one-time ones, not recurring ones, this is not possible without further intervention. Here is the procedure to follow:
# Untie your account from Steam using the link at the bottom of the billing window (see screenshot below).
- Choose the first subscription option (Recurring Payments) and enter the requested information.
- Link again (optionally) your account to Steam on the next game launch.
Please note that the recurring subscription via Xsolla starts on the same day as the subscription, but that the next payment is delayed of the number of Premium days you have left. So you don't lose any Premium days paid via Steam.
How to unsubscribe?
Click on the Cancel your subscription button. An email containing a link to cancel the subscription will then be sent to you.
Your Premium access is retained until the date on which the next payment should have occured.
How to change the periodicity of the recurring subscription?
- Click on the Cancel your subscription button. An email containing a link to cancel the subscription will then be sent to you.
- Select Recurring Payments and then choose the desired new duration.

One-time payments
One-time payments via Xsolla and Paypal
How to activate the one-time payment via Xsolla or Paypal?

Can one-time payments be accumulated?
Yes, and this makes it possible to accumulate one-time payments of several days or months in order to extend the total duration of your Premium access.
To do this, click on Add Premium Days and then select the desired duration.
Note that it is possible to cumulate the single payments via Xsolla and those via Paypal.
What happens to the bank details entered when activating a one-time payment?

How to activate the one-time payment via Steam?
If the Ryzom account is linked to a Steam account, only the payment option via Steam is visible on the Ryzom billing system. Just click on it and follow the instructions.
Special case: if a recurring subscription via Xsolla has been taken out before linking the Ryzom account to the Steam account, the Steam option is not available on the Ryzom billing system. To make it available, the recurring subscription must be cancelled first.
What happens to the bank details entered when activating a one-time payment?
The subscription system is entirely managed by Valve, sole recipient of this information. The Ryzom team has no access to it.
Who to contact in case of a billing problem?
The Steam payment system is managed by Valve. In case of problem with the billing system, contact Steam Support. Indeed, the Ryzom team does not manage the payment process.
Worldpay case
Ryzom's previous billing system allowed a recurring subscription to be taken out only via WorldPay. This option will remain operational for a few months during the transition period.
Please note that the switch from recurring subscription via WorldPay to recurring subscription via Xsolla is not automatic: it has to be done manually by the concerned players. The Premium access time remaining on the Worldpay subscription is then automatically carried over to the Xsolla subscription.
