# Deploy Cluster and Pay

### Deploy Cluster and Pay with \$IO Coin

If you don't have any funds in your account, you can still deploy a cluster and pay for it at the end of the process. In this example, we pay with **\$IO Coin**.

#### 1. Pay

1. Complete the steps to deploy a cluster, and on the final Summary step, select “Pay with \$IO Coin”. Please note that if you choose \$IO coins as payment for the cluster, the **conversion rate updates every minute** based on the exchange rate.

### Deploy Cluster and Pay with USDC Crypto

If you don't have any funds in your account, you can still deploy a cluster and pay for it at the end of the process. In this example, we pay with **USDC crypto**.

<Info>
  Users can no longer use their Cloud USDC Balance to deploy clusters. Even if your account shows a positive Cloud USDC Balance, you must make a separate direct payment via USDC crypto for each cluster deployment.
