If you're not a billing manager for the organization, ask your client to have an owner of the organization add you to the organization as a billing manager.
Tips:
- Before you upgrade your client's organization, you can view or update the payment method on file for the organization.
- These instructions are for upgrading and downgrading organizations on the per-seat subscription. If your client pays for GitHub using a legacy per-repository plan, you can upgrade or downgrade their legacy plan, or switch their organization to per-seat pricing.
Upgrading an organization's number of paid seats
-
In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
-
In the "Access" section of the sidebar, click Organizations.
-
Next to the organization, click Settings.

If you are an organization owner, in the "Access" section of the sidebar, click Billing and plans.
-
Under "Current plan", next to the name of your plan, select Edit and click Add seats.

After you add seats, the payment method on file for the organization will be charged a pro-rated amount based on the number of seats you're adding and the amount of time left in your billing cycle.
