# Payment process

1. On the website, select the node you want to rent and set the quantity and rental period (in months).
2. Checkout: All purchases are paid exclusively from your xNode Balance.
   * If your Balance is sufficient, confirm the purchase and the amount will be deducted immediately.
   * If your Balance is insufficient, click Top Up. You will be redirected to Cryptomus to add funds to your Balance.
3. Top up via Cryptomus:
   * Minimum top-up is 5 USD (or equivalent in the selected cryptocurrency at the Cryptomus rate).
   * Follow the Cryptomus instructions to complete the payment. After sufficient network confirmations, funds are credited to your xNode Balance. 
4. After successful payment from Balance, you will be redirected to your personal account.
5. In your account, you can track node status, renewals, and request keys to manage nodes yourself.

Notes:

* Prices for nodes are shown in USD; deductions from Balance are made in the displayed USD amount.
* When topping up, the crypto amount is calculated by Cryptomus at the moment of payment and includes applicable network fees.
* Any identifiable overpayments will be credited to your Balance when technically feasible.
