1. Add funds to your account.

   1. Click the Account Balance link. The method used for payment is called Stripe.
   2. Click on the Add funds with the Credit/Debit (stripe) link. Fill in an amount in the box. For example, $20.
   3. Click on Pay with Stripe.
   4. Your browser will open the Stripe page. Fill in your email address and your card information. You have the option to save the information so you can pay faster next time.
   5. Click the Pay $20.00 button when done. Wait for it to verify your payment.
   6. Return to the Account Balance section and verify your ACCOUNT BALANCE

2. Click the Capsuls link, and the Create one! link. This will open the CREATE CAPSUL page.

   1. You will see your account balance
   2. Pick a Capsul Size from the drop-down box. This screenshot shows size f1-xs selected.
   3. Leave Debian 10 (Buster) as the operating system; it's the only one available for Capsuls at this time.
