service, make sure that your credit service is configured to work and the 
currency is American dollars. You must convert all prices on your billing 
page into American dollars (U.S. dollars). See

ADVANCED > CREDIT CARD screen if you want to allow the 
subscribers to use credit cards to purchase Internet usage time.
