Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link at checkout
New to GuavaHost? Fast checkout lets you pay for a server with Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link and skip the account form entirely.

If you are new to GuavaHost, you can pay for your first server with Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link and skip the account form completely. Your wallet fills in your name, email and billing address, your server is set up as soon as the payment is confirmed, and we email you a link to choose a password afterwards.
Where to find fast checkout
Checkout has three steps: Server, Account and Pay. Fast checkout lives on the Account step.
- Open the game you want from the games page and start an order.
- On the Server step, pick your billing cycle, memory, location and any optional extras. If you have a promo code, click Have a promo code? and apply it here, before you move on (see Using a promo code).
- Click Continue to reach the Account step.
- With New customer selected, you will see a Fast checkout box at the top that says "Pay with your wallet. Skip the account form." It shows your total and billing cycle, followed by the wallet buttons your device supports.
While the box says it is checking available wallets, give it a second. If none of the wallets work on your device, the box simply does not appear and you carry on with the normal form.
Which buttons you will see
Stripe, our payment provider, decides which wallets to show based on your device and browser. As a rough guide:
| Wallet | Where it usually appears |
|---|---|
| Apple Pay | Safari on an iPhone, iPad or Mac with a card in Apple Wallet |
| Google Pay | Chrome or Android, when a card is saved to your Google account |
| Link | Most browsers. Link is Stripe's own service for saving your payment details and reusing them with one click |
PayPal is not part of fast checkout. If you want to pay with PayPal, use the account form and choose PayPal on the Pay step.
Paying with your wallet
- Tap the Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link button.
- Your wallet opens and shows the amount. Check it matches the total in the Fast checkout box.
- Make sure the wallet is sharing your email address and a billing address with your full name. GuavaHost uses these to create your account.
- Approve the payment (Face ID, fingerprint, device PIN or your Link code).
- The box shows "Finishing your payment" for a moment, then you land on the Payment received! page.
That is it. Your server is set up automatically, and a welcome email follows shortly.
Your account and password
Fast checkout creates a brand new GuavaHost account from the email your wallet shared. For security, we never sign you in straight away. Instead, once the payment is confirmed, we send an email with the subject Set up your GuavaHost account to that address. It contains a link to choose your password, and the link lasts one hour.
The full walkthrough, including what to do if the link expires, is in Set your password after an express checkout.
If the wallet email already belongs to a GuavaHost account, nothing is charged when you approve the wallet. Checkout asks you to sign in first, then adds the server to your existing account. See Express checkout when you already have an account.
Automatic renewals
GuavaHost servers are a subscription. Under the wallet buttons you will see a line saying that by paying you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and authorise automatic renewals on your billing cycle using this payment method until you cancel.
With Apple Pay, the payment sheet also shows the renewal itself: the amount, how often it repeats, when the first renewal is due, and a note such as "Renews automatically (monthly) on this card until you cancel. Manage or cancel any time in your GuavaHost account." Because it is set up as a recurring payment, Apple issues a card token that keeps working even if you later replace your iPhone.
If you pick an extra that renews on a different cycle from your plan (for example a monthly add-on on a quarterly plan), Apple Pay leaves the renewal summary out, but renewals still work the same way. How renewals are charged, and how to stop them, is covered in Automatic renewal with a saved card or PayPal.
If something goes wrong
- "Our billing system prices this order at..." Our billing system worked out a different total from the one shown, for example because a promotion changed. Nothing was charged. Press your wallet button again to approve the corrected amount.
- Your wallet did not provide an email address. Add an email to your wallet contact details, or use the account form instead.
- Your wallet needs your full name and billing country. Update the card's billing details in your wallet (first and last name, plus country), or use the account form.
- This plan is not available for fast checkout. Some plans can only be bought through the account form. Use the form below the Fast checkout box.
- We couldn't confirm the final result yet. Please do not pay again. Press Check payment status, or use the Get help with invoice link to contact support with your invoice number.
When fast checkout is not shown
You will not see the Fast checkout box if you are already signed in, if you switched to I have an account, if your device has no supported wallet, or if the order is free or its total is very small. In those cases, fill in the form and pay on the Pay step instead. There you can pay by card or PayPal, and the card form can also offer Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link as options when your browser supports them.
