Yes, you can easily turn ON the Auto Renew feature for a domain or your WhoisGuard subscription.
For auto-renewals, we'll attempt to charge your Namecheap account balance first. If there are insufficient funds in your account, we'll try using your payment cards next – default card first, followed by any alternative cards in the specified order.
NOTE: The system will attempt to renew your domain 30 days
prior to its expiration. If you have no funds in your Namecheap account
balance or there are issues with your card (no money on a debit card; credit card is not valid or there's a limit on payments for example), the renewal will not happen.
Still, the system will try renewing your domain every 24 hours
until the renewal is successful.
To attach a card that will be used for auto-renewal, select Profile from the left sidebar > Billing > click on Manage in front of Payment Cards.
NOTE: Please make sure that the "Use for auto-renewal" option is chosen, otherwise the auto-renewal will not happen. You can find the detailed instructions in the "Can I use a credit card to set up auto-renewal?" article.
Currently, PayPal (directly) cannot be used to pay for automatic renewals of your services.
If you do not want to use your card for the auto-renewals or
do not have one, feel free to top up your Namecheap account balance
with the amount required for the transaction using PayPal, Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.
