Apps that we, as computer or mobile users, use are all about getting things done – booking travel, checking the weather, working, photo editing, checking health parameters, etc. We like getting all these services for free, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. Shelling out a few bucks can fetch you a much better app to make your life easier. These apps in Microsoft Store make it worth paying for the upgraded experience or additional features beyond what you could get in a free version.
Payment Method in Microsoft Store
The Microsoft Store, like Google Play and the Apple App Store, can add, edit, or remove your payment methods to download paid apps for Windows 11/10. So, if you want to buy an app from the Microsoft Store, you’ll need to add a payment method to your account. You can edit or remove your payment method or if required, view your purchases and billing history.
When you go on to make app purchases on the Microsoft Store via a Windows PC, Microsoft saves your Payment Method and Credit Card details online on its servers. It does this so that the next time you make a purchase, it becomes a lot easier for you, as all the details are already there. Now, if, for some reason, you wish to edit or change your payment method or delete or remove your Credit Card details and information, or if you wish to add a new payment method or view billing & transaction history, then this post will show you how to do it.
