Can´t login into the store [solved]
StevenS replied to Uwe367's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi Uwe, Thanks for your message, and sorry to hear you're having trouble signing in. I’ve had a quick look, and it appears there are no Affinity Store records associated with the email address you used to create your forum account. That would explain why your login attempts and password reset emails aren’t working, and why your apps aren’t currently signed in. That said, we’re a bit limited in what we can confirm or assist with on the public forum due to privacy reasons. Could you please get in touch with our Support team directly using the form here: https://affin.co/get-support They’ll be able to take a closer look and help get things sorted. -
Hi @LotusBlue, welcome to the Affinity forum. The currency will update at the checkout once you input the billing details associated with your payment method, assuming your payment method is still registered to your fixed residence country.

StevenS replied to MArll's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
hI @MArll, welcome to the Forum. Which details specifically were you hoping to change? The name on the account? The email address? -
Hi @Gisbyy, Welcome to the Affinity forum! Thank you for your interest in the Universal Licence. At present, all Affinity invoices are issued in English only, and we’re unable to provide them in other languages, including Polish. We understand this may be a limitation for some expense processes, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Receipt Not valid after purchase
StevenS replied to Malzic's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi Malzic, Welcome to the forum, as this query will require you to send us a copy of your purchase receipt, please contact our Customer Service team via the Support Form and they'll be happy you assist you. -
Hi @agsutina, Thanks for reaching out about the trouble you're having placing an order in the Affinity Store. We understand how frustrating this can be, and we want to help you get this sorted as quickly as possible. We’ve checked our payment system and the error showing on our side for you payment attempts is: "Gateway Rejected: 3D Secure". 3D Secure is an added layer of security for online card payments - often branded as "Verified by Visa" or "Mastercard SecureCode." When making a purchase, your bank may ask you to verify the payment through a code sent to your phone, a banking app notification, or another secure method. If this verification step fails or is blocked, the transaction won’t go through. This can happen for a few reasons, including: Your bank not completing the 3D Secure check successfully A timeout or error in the verification window Security settings in your browser or device interfering with the process Here are some steps that often resolve the issue: Try a different payment method – If you used a credit or debit card, switching to PayPal (or another available option) often bypasses the issue. Use a different browser or device – Sometimes pop-up blockers, outdated browsers, or certain extensions can prevent the 3D Secure prompt from appearing correctly. Clear your browser cache, disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers or privacy tools), and ensure your firewall or antivirus isn't blocking parts of the payment process. Ensure your mobile number is up-to-date with your bank, in case the verification code is being sent but not received. If you’ve tried these steps and are still having trouble, please let us know and we’ll do our best to assist further. @AffinityMakesMeWonder If you do not have all the info to assist posters on the forum, please leave the post for someone who does.

Can't sign in (split)
StevenS replied to roshhh19's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi @roshhh19, welcome to the Affinity forum. We removed your email address from your post for security, however we were able to check our database and there are no accounts under that email address in our records. Please contact affinity@serif.com so we can ask you to share more details with us and we can take a look at this further for you. -
Hi @MRJ, welcome the Affinity forum. Your issue is not the same as that which you linked to. In that instance there was an issue without our payment gateway that caused orders to fail. Our payment system is currently working as it should. In your case, the order failed as the payment was rejected by our payment gateway. You may see a pending transaction on your account for a few days, but this amount should be automatically released back to you by your bank as we won't be attempting to collect it. To help resolve this, we recommend trying the following: Try a different payment method: The most common solution is simply using an alternative payment option. If you initially tried a credit or debit card, perhaps try PayPal or another available method. This helps us rule out any issues specific to your original payment method. Check your browser and security software: Ensure your web browser and antivirus software are up to date. Outdated software can sometimes interfere with online transactions. Also, check for any browser plugins that might be blocking the 3D Secure authentication window. A simple way to test this is to try a completely different browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Specifically, please ensure that pop-ups are allowed in your browser settings, as the 3D Secure authentication process often appears in a pop-up window. Blocking pop-ups will prevent this authentication and cause the payment to fail. Review your firewall settings: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking any part of the payment process. Sometimes overly restrictive firewall settings can prevent secure connections required for online payments. Try a different device: If the issue continues on your current device, please try making the payment from another device, such as a tablet or smartphone. This can help isolate whether the problem is device-specific.

Hi @Vladqwvs, Welcome to the Affinity forum. Our iPad apps are sold via the app store as in-app purchases, which means you must have had something in order to have made the purchase. As we do not have access to Apple's purchase records, please contact affinityorders@serif.com with your App Store receipt and more details as to the issue you are experiencing so we can figure out how we can help you.

To confirm what GarryP has advised and to address this part of your message It does have an email address, it can only be created with an email address. The email address is the same one you have used to create your forum account. If you replace "Tiderman" with your email address, we do not envisage you having any further sign in issues.

Where Is My Software??!!??
StevenS replied to Armorman's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Having checked this for you we can see that the team deleted the account with the correct address and then used the correct address to overwrite the incorrect address. If you attempt to sign in now with your correct email address, you should have no issues accessing your purchase. -
2 Different Prices
StevenS replied to moexiepoexie's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi @moexiepoexie, welcome to the Affinity Store. We do not have localised pricing for Mauritius and as such use the US dollar pricing. I am unsure why you were shown the ZAR pricing as it does not seem that you are located or your Affinity Store account have ever been set as South Africa. Perhaps you are using a VPN? The amount you will be charged at the checkout will be dependant on your billing details. If you use a Mauritius billing address, you will be charged in USD, and if you use South African billing address during checkout you will be charged ZAR. The payment will only be successful providing address entered matches the billing details associated with the payment method. -
Hi Antonio, Unfortunately it is still the case that we are unable to sell our apps within Venezuela due to the reasons linked to above. We would also not be able to assist with advice on how it may or may not be possible to navigate around those international sanction. Let us say however that the sanctions are in relation to the sale of our products. Should an Affinity owner find themselves in Venezuela, they would not experience any issues using the apps they have purchased from an unsanctioned location.

Hi @Itziar B, welcome to the Affinity forum. Although we have already responded to you via email, I am going to put the reply here for visibility of anyone with a similar issue; We can see that you have indeed now placed a successful order. With regards to the previous attempts, the payment that was set aside for us by your bank was rejected by our payment gateway. (image removed) When this happens you may see a pending transaction on your account for a few days. This should drop back into your account once your bank realises we cannot collect the payment. We will not make any further attempts to complete the rejected payments.

Having taken a look at your account I cannot see any reason that you would not be able to purchase anything available on the site. Are you trying to purchase something via link on a third party site? I wonder if perhaps this is an old link that has since been removed 🤔 As Jeff requested, we really could do with a bit more info about what you are trying to purchase and how to shine a light on this.
