mp72 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Same here.I was dealing with this as soon as V2 was released today. Bought from AppStore and when I wanted to open the app, its asks for Affinity ID which is different then the one I have on my AppleID purchases. After few emails with Affinity Support I was said that they cant find me in the system and I have to contact Apple. I did porvided my Bank Account slip to show them the purchase. Several hours later I am still empty handed with tickets open with Affinity and Apple. This is bad. WHy the software requires Affinity ID if I bought it with Apple? I am starting to loose patience, damn. DGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGee Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yeah it's really frustrating. If they don't fix it fast I'll go with a refund, I cannot trust their payment service after this. Twikzer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp72 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 DO you have the same issue with the ID. I have bought Universal and I do see it clearly as pourchased sofwtare on my AppStore account, but then the when trying to open the app I get stooped by enteriring my Affinity ID which is different the Apple ID. What a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaapu Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 got affinity photo 2 via apple app store (mac) and used the in-app-purchase to buy a single application licence. card was charged but no licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylerc Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I bought the universal license via the Apple App Store on my iPad. I was able to activate Designer 2 but nothing else will activate and my affinity account says that I don't have any v2 licenses. The Apple Store shows that I was charged for it.

DGee Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Just in case this could be of any help to someone. I ended up making another payment this time using paypal and it worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp72 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 My waiting is over. I just cant stand this approach, this ignorance. I clicked re-fund on the AppStore and will be using V1 for now. Not happy with this relase and he way they treat customers. Will looks at my Pixelmator with more appreciation from now on. emmrecs01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are able to reply soon but TBH it’s not my fault their team is small and they did nothing to have a functional payment system that fails consistently since 2017. My money is on hold or gone, I need it and nobody is replying. I appreciate your message man but I’m very disappointed. Twikzer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twikzer Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 same here, they have charged me, but they have not given me any license, I contacted affinityorders@serif.com on 09/11/2022, but they ignore me i resent to affinity@serif.com the mail i send to affinityorders, if they dont sulution the problem in 24h, , i will claim it to the bank This is unacceptable, I had the same problem buying afinity photo in March, it seems that they are laughing at us It is shameful that they continue without an online payment that works, when a small company, with a single employee, takes 2 to 3 days from not having an account with any bank, to having an account and accepting online payments with visa, mastercard, maestro and american express. emmrecs01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSun Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hi, Same for me I just purchased the whole suite of v2 apps. My card was charged but I have no V2 licenses under my account. I have just contacted Affinity and i hope they could resolve that issue soon.🤞🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylerc Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I finally decided to request a refund from Apple. It took them about 24 hours to approve my refund. Then I went to the Serif website and bought the universal license using my PayPal. I decided to use PayPal just because it would make it easier to get a refund if the license never went through. But it worked on the first try and now I have all my licenses across both my iMac and my iPad. I know Serif is a small company and they are doing their best but this really seems like a problem.

Maybe Serif should disable purchases and focus on fixing it instead of having more failed purchases and more support tickets. I've had my card charged, no license and no real response from Serif. I'm waiting another day at best and disputing the charge with my bank if I don't hear back from Serif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhishek Dhiman Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I purchased the V2 Universal License. The payment got deducted but I haven’t got the license nor I got the confirmation receipt on the email. I’ve mailed to them and got a ticket. Want to ask if anyone of your request is resolved? Did you got the license or the money back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
