WIPO Pay: Paying PCT fees using ePCT-Action Online Payment

Hey there! Welcome to our tutorial.

In this video you will learn how to pay your PCT fees in WIPO Pay after you have already filed with the International Bureau (that is, WIPO) as Receiving Office and closed your application, using ePCT-Action Online payment.

Please note that this video presents the procedure for fees owed to the International Bureau (WIPO) as Receiving Office only.
If you filed with another receiving Office, the fees should be paid to that specific receiving Office.
In your ePCT Workbench, click on the application number (IA Number), for which you would like to pay the fees.

Go to the "Actions" section. Click here to select your action. Select the action "Online payment". If you wish to send the payment number to an associate, click on the appropriate button. Then click on "Pay fees" to proceed with the payment.

If you hold a Current Account at WIPO and it is not yet synchronized with your WIPO Account, you can do so by clicking on "Yes, I want to pay using my Current Account at WIPO". You will be prompted to enter your Current Account credentials.

If you have questions about the synchronization, you can watch one of our previous tutorials on this topic before clicking "Yes, I want to pay using my Current Account at WIPO".
If you click on "I do not have a Current Account at WIPO", you will be asked to fill in your billing information, which will appear on all receipts.

To learn more about both options, check out our tutorial about WIPO Pay. Now, let's proceed with the payment.

For Current Account at WIPO holders, the Current Account is the default payment method. Before paying with a Current Account at WIPO, ensure your Current Account balance is sufficient to cover the fee total.

If you would like to use another payment method, enable it by clicking on the appropriate button. In this video, we will proceed with the payment using Current Account at WIPO. Click on "Continue" to pay.

Congratulations! Your fee has been paid and you will soon receive a payment confirmation at the e-mail address connected to your WIPO Account.
