Can't buy Forge tokens with a credit card

**rickyhunt** · May 27th, 2023, 20:26

I tried to buy Forge tokens with a credit card after buying a module for PF2 successfully with a credit card. On the page where you fill in your card info, there is a section that says "Save your info and create a PayPal account". On the module purchase page, there is a toggle switch next to it, which can be turned off to pay with a card. On the token page, there is no toggle. I thought that might help debugging the issue.

Has anyone discovered why this is happening. I have several modules I would like to purchase, but am unable to do so.

As far as I know the only option to buy from Smiteworks is via PayPal. You can buy via PayPal with a credit card I believe, without requiring to create an account; but not sure about that.

I made a change a while back and when I test it now, I get an option to a pay with Debit or Credit Card.

I get that page too. It's the next page that is the problem. For the Forge, there is no toggle to pay with a card, just an attempt to get me to sign up for PayPal.

I can buy from the regular store with a card thru PayPal, just not from the Forge, which makes me think it is a settings issue.

The very next screen I see when I click on Pay with Debit or Credit Card is a Guest checkout. There is an option at the bottom to Save your payment info, but that appears to be optional. Do you see a different screen? Also, are you based in the U.S. or a different country?

I do this as well. Toggling the button at the bottom does allow purchase and does not require a sign up. PayPal and I are not on good speaking terms since the divorce. ROFL.

Here are the screens that I am having trouble with. The FG store has a toggle that allows me to pay with a card as a guest. The Forge one doesn't.

Those don't match my screenshots. What country are you located in?

The Forge uses a different payment system than the main FG site. It is a newer system within PayPal, so the settings are definitely different. Hopefully we can find a way to get them working the same way for you.

Have you ever logged into Paypal on this computer/browser?
For me I dont get the option to pay as Guest on Forge if I use my regular browser that I do logon to Paypal with.
If I use another browser I get the Continue as Guest option.
