Alternative to Paypal?
Has SmiteWorks looked into an alternative to Paypal. After the recent fiasco, I no longer will be using Paypal and would still like to purchase products from them.

Is this for a monthly sub?
The only thing that might require PayPal is a monthly subscription. Most other purchases can use either/or.

Are you sure about this? At checkout the only option I have is PayPal if I buy via the store. Steam has more options but I think the only option for store purchases is PayPal.
Maybe, of course, PayPal is the only option for overseas customers?
Also I believe that you don't actually need a PayPal account - some kind of guest payment method I believe?If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

You can use a guest/pay by credit card option when using paypal rather than using a paypal account itself.

This will not work for me. It's not the whole saved CC, etc. I do not want Paypal making a dime off of me. I had purchased FG through Steam and transferred it, I just buy modules for PF1, and other packages. Can packages purchased on Steam work if I have unlinked them?

Any purchases via Steam will require your Steam and FG accounts to be linked. But they won't be linked to any PayPal account. Further public technical details should probably be obtained by contacting support directly.

The PayPal AUP is worth a read.
Last week they added "promote misinformation" as another reason that they could in their sole discretion fine you $2,500 from your account.

And they reverted it today. Claiming that they never intended to change it.
Not sure how that happens, but big corporations are known to screw up at times where one group does something without anyone else approving of it.

$100 billion companies dont change their AUPs and publish them without the changes being approved by lawyers and executives.
They havent really changed their policy, they have just removed the part about the fine. They will still suspend your account and freeze your balance if they dont like what you write.
