Where to Pay Your Home Depot Credit Card
You can pay your Home Depot credit card online through the Home Depot website, by phone, by mail, or in person at any Home Depot store. The fastest and most common method is online through your account on homedepot.com. You can also call the customer service number on the back of your card to make a payment over the phone, usually without a fee.
If you prefer to pay in person, visit any Home Depot location and ask a cashier to help you make a payment. Mail payments should be sent to the address listed on your statement. Online and phone payments typically post within one business day, while mail payments take five to seven business days to reach your account.

Paying Online Through Your Home Depot Account
Go to homedepot.com and sign in with your username and password. If you do not have an online account yet, you will need to create one using your email address and the card number from your Home Depot credit card. Once you are signed in, look for "Pay My Credit Card" or a similar option in the account menu.
Enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment date. You can pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or any amount in between. Review the details before confirming, and you will see a confirmation number once the payment is submitted. Keep this number for your records. The payment will post to your account within one business day.
If you want to avoid logging in each month, you can set up automatic payments from the same page. Choose whether you want to pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or a fixed amount each month, and select your preferred due date. Automatic payments will continue each month until you cancel them.
Paying by Phone
Call the customer service number on the back of your Home Depot credit card. A representative will ask for your card number and the amount you want to pay. You will need to provide a checking or savings account number if you want to pay from a bank account, or a debit card number if you prefer that method.
Phone payments are free and do not require you to have an online account. The payment posts within one business day. Write down the confirmation number the representative gives you before you hang up. If you call during business hours (usually 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time), you will reach a live person. Outside those hours, an automated system may allow you to make a payment without speaking to anyone.
Paying by Mail
Write a check or money order for the amount you owe. Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address shown on your statement under "Payment Address" or "Make Checks Payable To." Do not send cash through the mail.
Mail payments take five to seven business days to arrive and post to your account. If your due date is fewer than seven days away, do not use mail unless you are paying early. Include only the payment stub from your statement if you have one—it helps the processor match your payment to your account faster. If you do not have a stub, write your account number clearly on the check.
Paying in Person at Home Depot
Visit any Home Depot store and ask a cashier or customer service representative to help you make a credit card payment. Bring your card or account number and the amount you want to pay. You can pay with cash, a debit card, or another credit card. The payment posts to your account within one business day.
In-person payments are useful if you are already at the store or prefer to handle the transaction face-to-face. The process is quick and you will receive a receipt showing the payment was made. This method does not work for paying someone else's Home Depot credit card account—you must be the cardholder or an authorized user.
Understanding Your Statement and Due Date
Your Home Depot credit card statement shows your balance, the minimum payment due, and the due date. The due date is the last day you can pay without triggering a late fee. Payments received after the due date are considered late, even if they arrive just one day after.
Your statement also lists the payment address for mail payments and the phone number for phone payments. If you pay online, you can choose any date you want as long as it is before the due date. If you are unsure when your payment will post, pay a few days early to be safe. Your statement will show all previous payments and your current balance.
What Happens If You Miss a Payment
If your payment does not arrive by the due date, a late fee will be added to your account. The amount of the late fee depends on your card terms, but it is typically between $25 and $40 for the first late payment. Your interest rate may also increase if you miss a payment, and the late payment will appear on your credit report.
If you realize you will miss a due date, contact Home Depot customer service as soon as possible. Some cardholders have been able to have a single late fee waived if they have a good payment history and call before the payment is reported to credit bureaus. Paying as soon as you realize the payment is late will prevent additional fees from accumulating.

No, there is no fee to pay online through homedepot.com. Phone and in-person payments are also free. Only mail payments have a cost if you use a service like certified mail, but standard mail is free.
Can I pay my Home Depot credit card with a different payment method than I used to open the account?

Can I set up automatic payments if I do not have an online account?
No, automatic payments must be set up through your online account on homedepot.com. If you do not want to create an account, you can call customer service each month to make a manual phone payment instead.
