The majority of domain names need to have the Registrant, Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts, while other can have the Registrant and Administrative contacts (.CA domains) or even the Registrant contact only (.EU and .UK domains).
You may choose to Use default account contact, Add new contact or Use previously saved contact. For new and previously saved contacts, there will be an option to edit and save them in your Namecheap account:

payment method. At the Billing stage, you may choose between a Secure Card Payment, PayPal, or Account Funds.
Secure Card Payments can be made with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. You can use a saved card, or add and save a new one, providing the card holder’s name, the 16 digits of the credit card number, the 4 digits of its expiration date (MM/YY), the 3 digits of the CVC code and the card’s billing address:
PLEASE NOTE: Unlike secure card payments,
PayPal account details cannot be saved and must be provided each time you place an order.

Profile >> Billing >> Payment section. You may also have to

funds to your account in advance.

That’s it!
