The Tico Times’ new micro-payment system, Tico Credit, is designed for secure, quick and easy purchases and to avoid having to re-enter your payment information every time you buy something.

Using Tico Credit is simple. First, register for free to become a ticotimes.net member. Then click Tico Credit at the top of the screen or on a purchase-only article and buy as much credit as you like. One credit is equal to 1 U.S. dollar. When you buy an article, a complete edition, a photo, guidebook or any other product on our website, the purchase will automatically draw from your Tico Credit account.
