PabloDaza Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hello Everyone, I decided to purchase affinity designer and photo today, however, when i entered my credit card info and pressed the pay button the website gave me an error message that said that my payment had been declined, in that moment my banking app notified me that the purchase was done(and so the money was billed), i checked my account and it shows no order history nor licenses and the money in my bank app is now gone. is there anything that i can do to get my money refunded or the software licenses? Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff SFurniss Posted February 3, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2021 @PabloDaza If you can email affinity@serif.com we can look into this for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff SFurniss Posted February 3, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2021 @PabloDaza It sounds like your payment is being declined. 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. This is most likely due to an error in the way your browser is handling the 3d secure check that is now mandatory for all EU online orders. Before trying again you may wish to check your browser is up to date If you can email affinity@serif.com we can confirm this is the case, and if necessary arrange for you to manually place an order.

PabloDaza Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Thank you for your response @SFurniss i sent the e-mail to the address you suggested, i will wait for the response. However i dont see any pending transactions in my app, it says that it was correctly billed I wonder if there's any other store front that sells the affinity software, like steam perphaps? I'll update as soon as i get more information Edited February 3, 2021 by PabloDaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff SFurniss Posted February 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2021 If you want us to discuss the details of your order please email affinity@serif.com. It would not be appropriate to do this on a public forum. Other than directly from us, the software can be bought from Apple or from Microsoft.

arondene Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I just have the same experience, such a bummer since I was quite hyped on trying affinity photo tonight. But 2 charges and no software/license has quite a cooling effect. Edited February 5, 2021 by arondene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloDaza Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 yes, its quite a bummer for me too @arondene @SFurniss i already emailed the direction you suggested, i'm still waiting for a response 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloDaza Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 update: got a response from the affinity mail, basically gotta wait up to 28 days for the money to drop back in my account 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Don't forget that you can get a 90 day free trial at the moment, so you can still use the apps while waiting for your bank(s) to sort it out.
