wan Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'm experiencing a bug on the Affinity website when I attempt to purchase Affinity Photo for Windows via Paypal. Every time I click Pay Now on the final Paypal purchasing page, it just keeps redirecting me back to Affinity Photo's payment method page. No error messages, no congratulations, just a redirection to the payment method page. It is worrying to be clicking Pay Now multiple times, but thankfully I have not been charged for it. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglish Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I think Affinity is great. A long time Pshop user I own many Serif products and gladly buy Affinity. but why the rip-off and who gets it? AFFINITY is (bargain) priced at 39.99 USD. 1. I live in Australia and have US$ available but cannot use them. 2. US$39.99 translates to AUD 53.85 3. Your rotten site demands AUD 63.00 4. Apple and Adobe always rip off the Aussies, are you doing this too? Do not reply to this with a general whiffle email, respond to each point by number or do what Adobe do and ignore the lot.

Douglish Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The shop refuses to let me login. Do I need to open a new/separate account to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wan Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Update: I used the direct Credit/Debit payment method instead of PayPal to determine whether the problem was coming from the card or the website.My bad, it turns out the card itself was declined. But I only knew this from the notification that the website gave me.Perhaps you should look into the notification for when the payment is declined for those who use the PayPal route.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2016 Douglish, Yes, you need to create an Affinity Store account to buy Affinity Photo for Windows, unless you already bought Affinity Designer for Windows or the Designer Workbook. As for the price, we have matched the Mac App Store prices, where we set one price (the US dollar price) and all other prices follow. I think the exchange rate is well out of step at the moment and I've been told that Apple review those rates occasionally. When that happens I think that it will drop back closer to reality. However we think that we should sell the Windows version for the same price as the Mac version Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2016 wan, thanks. We changed PayPal error handling for Photo launch, so it seems like we now need to improve error feedback.

PCS Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hello, I'm from India. I see Affinity Photo Windows version costs US $39.99. However, for India the pricing is India Rupee 3100. With current "US $ to Indian Rupee" currency conversion, the price is only India Rupee 2600 (or lower). Hence the charge in India Rupee is around 16% more than the US dollar price. This is vey steep. I'm OK to pay using US $, but the site automatically chooses to pay using India Rupee if I select the Country as India. Can I change the country to US to pick and pay using US $. If not then, what other option to get the India pricing close the US $? Thanks, Prem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
