Title: iMtG Server (Patron button)
Post by: Piotr on December 11, 2012, 01:56:15 PM
I need someone with a dollar in their PayPal to help me test the infrastructure, please. I'll give the dollar back if requested ;)

I need someone to use their PayPal to buy iMtG Server subscription so I can test and fix the payment infrastructure, please. I only have one PayPal and can't pay to myself. Once you go through it it would be good to take screenshots so I can see any problems.

As unbelievable as it sounds, it looks like the multi billion dollar company known as PayPal is detecting if you're on mobile device and when using subscription API which works ok on desktop, instead of redirecting you to the mobile UI (same as with non-subscription version of the same API) it breaks the transaction and redirects you to their main desktop website. WTF?

Tried to pay for it, it broke the transaction. Maybe they prefer that subscriptions not be sold through apps as a security thing?

I don't think it's security, from what I googled so far looks like corporation impotence.

Would buying you a drink serve the same purpose? Because ill do that instead.

Buying me a drink gives you Nothing(TM).

iMtG Server subscription will give you a lot of nice little things, alas we seem to be stuck with some technical difficulties at the moment ;)

Do you have a money back guarantee on your Nothing? Or maybe some price matching?

Any way for some one to be a patron without a PayPal account?

PayPal can process credit card payments too, no?

Payment processing seems to work ok on desktop browsers now, thanks to Raven316 and Dudecore.

I think but I only have a debt card. I don't have a Paypal account though. I tried to set one up but I don't think I can use it since I told me I had to have a picture ID with address matching my billing info from my bank. My billing address is my parents house so I said never mind.

It is a gathering function, not app. In gathering home, the lower most button
