Forge Purchases

[lordmalachdrim]

I know when making a normal purchase it goes through paypal but you can do it without having to create an account with that company (which I refuse to do), but for some reason I can not find a way to do this with a purchase on your Forge. I would appreciate any help.

You should still be able to click the pay with debit or credit card below their login screen no?

[lordmalachdrim]

You can but on the next scree where you enter all the information the only options are: Create Account and Continue / Log In / Cancel and Return to Merchant.

I still see the guest checkout, could you send me a screenshot of what you are seeing?

This is bottom of the page after choosing pay with credit card as I normally do with the standard store.

Works fine for me.

This is what I see:

Then when I click on Pay with Debit or Credit Card I get a quest checkout:

Page one is a match and I do choose Pay with Debit Card or Credit Card

Page two is the issue

Oh I see now. Apparently PayPal removed the guest checkout feature back in October with very little announcement. Unfortunately we do not have any other payment system on the Forge other than PayPal at this time.

Then I guess I will just have to wait until/if you get a different option at some point.

The guest checkout is working fine for me - refer to my screenshots above.

@lordmalachdrim - maybe try a different browser?

Also, according to this post (don't know how accurate it is) there are reasons why sometimes PayPal won't offer guest checkout: https://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/862-why-doesnt-paypal-guest-checkout-show With the "reasoning from PayPal" being pretty vague...

If you have an account, when you put in your email it just links it to your account now, mimicking the old guest checkout system. I had to use incognito mode and a different email to see what lordmalachdrim did.

Ah, right. Good find. Shame they've effectively stopped guest checkout.
