# 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.

   If you are satisfied with the current rate, click **Deploy Cluster** at the bottom of the Summary step.

### Deploy Cluster and Pay with USDC Crypto
