Suggestion Enable AlertPay as Payment Method

    Today I wanted to Buy Premium Membership. But, I can not pay using PayPal.

    Since Paypal is a limited service and doesn't work for many countries. I Request that AlertPay should be added as a PayMent Medium.

    Thanks.

    Not going to happen, sorry. You can use a credit card if you don't have PayPal.

    Well, you heard him. Thats not gonna happen. If you are desperate for a premium membership then I suggest you to use some currency exchangers to transfer your AP funds to PP to buy premium.(If you don't have a credit card)

    You missed something. All countries can't use PayPal to send money. :) And so they can't buy it using PP.

    What countries can't use a credit card though (you don't need PayPal, only a credit card).

    You also missed what I quoted. The guy said to transfer money from AP to PP and then use it. But not each country can send money using PP balance without CC.

    This Is Really pathetic. Digitalpoint is not listening to Us. AlertPay Will benefit Both, DP as Well as Members.

    And There are Two Many Problems While using CC internationally.

    For Example, Most Or US Merchants Just Require Name And Card no. to Process the Transanction. Godaddy is one such merchant. Now, Indian banks are very un-comfortable with this. Sometimes, they block our CC assuming that it has been stolen or being misused.

    Indian banks Require Card No, Expiry Date, Name, CCV and a MasterCard SecureCode Password To Process any Transanctions.

    PayPal Doesn't Need any MasterCard SecureCode. It Processes the Transanction with Just CCV no. in My opinion this is not safe. And the Bank Calls Me every time i make a transanction, and if i do not answer their call the transanction is reversed or CC Blocked.

    It is my Very Polite Request that DigitalPoint should make a move towards accepting AlertPay. This will Make Things Very Comfortable for DigitalPoint Members From India(Which I beleive Constitute a Large Percentage).

    I shall Be Really Greatful, if this is heeded.

    This is a US site, and we cater towards US users. AlertPay is not used by US users (that I've ever heard of). On top of it, vBulletin doesn't support AlertPay as a payment method anyway, so you would need to talk to the vBulletin developers before it even COULD MAYBE be an option.

    AlertPay is Canadian. By AlertPay I Meant, there should be an Alternate to PayPal.

    I didn't make that statement keeping only DigitalPoint in my mind.
