How to Pay to Fax Only When It Matters

Why pay-per-fax beats monthly plans

Traditional fax services lock you into bundles, usernames, and phone numbers you may never use. NeedToFax takes the opposite approach: you upload a file, authorize a one-time payment, and we handle the handoff to the carrier. No minimums, no rollover pages, no seat licenses.

Because Stripe Elements powers our checkout, card data never touches our servers. You see the total before you approve the charge, and every receipt references the fax job ID so accounting can reconcile it alongside other project expenses.

Step-by-step: paying to fax with NeedToFax

1. Visit needtofax.com, add the destination fax number, and upload your PDF or image. We show a live page estimate so you know the cost before tapping “Send fax.”
2. When the secure modal opens, enter the cardholder name and approve the $1-per-ten-pages charge through Stripe. Charges under ten pages still cost $1, so batching documents saves money.
3. We immediately submit the fax to our carrier and keep polling status. You’ll see the job ID, current state, and last four digits of the card that was charged—perfect for reimbursements.

Tips for predictable fax spending

• Group related documents together. A single ten-page submission costs less than two separate five-page sends.
• Use the tag fields to note client or matter numbers so finance teams can match the $1 charge to a specific project.
• Download or screenshot the confirmation modal; it includes the amount, job ID, and time stamp for your records.
