Method to pay without credit card found by fan

[medierra]

A fan named Dave recently brought to my attention a method of pre-ordering for those who have no credit / debit card.

I'm not personally endorsing this as I've never used it and don't know the company but Dave said that it worked well for him. I know some people were pretty disappointed at not being able to pre-order yet, so I thought I'd share this.

It seems like it might be a bit of a hassle as you have to first sign up, then transfer money from a bank account, then pay. However, if you have a burning desire to contribute with a pre-order and don't have a credit / debit card, this might be worth checking out.

Here is how he described it working in his email:

"On wirecard.com I clicked on "mywirecard" in the bottom right which brought me to this page: http://www.mywirecard.com/ on the top right you can choose your language since the default is german.

After choosing my language I decided I wanted a virtual mastercard so I clicked on "mywirecard MasterCard" which brought me here: http://www.mywirecard.com/en/mastercard.html

After that I clicked on "register free of charge" filled in my information (Name adress phone number) got an sms to verify it was me and I was registered
Then I send my money over from my bank to their bank via some IBAN code. took 3 days for the money to be received by them and updated in the control panel (somewhat how paypal looks) and then I got a creditcard number in their control panel which I could use on authorize.net"

Thanks again Dave for taking the time to email me with this info!

If anyone else decides to try it, let us know how it works out.

Also, note that there are certain fees involved: https://secure.wirecardbank.com/mywirecard/ShowFees.html

We're still planning to add other payment options, so you can also wait it out for that. It won't be for a while but we will announce it on the forum when it happens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecard sounds very promising

[i.n.s.a.n.e]

Great! More people supporting this awesome project! =)

[Silversaint]

Good news for those didn't have credit/debit card. :D

[Wolfilein]

I have used Wirecard befor i got my "real" Visa.
The Service is top and the support is great. Even telephone-support in my mother-language (german). Helpfull and nice support-personal.
In 3 years never had a reason to complain. They even helped me cancel my account and transfer my money back. :D

Wirecard is THE CHOICE for Online-Prepaid-Creditcard-Business !!!!

PS. Yes, i have used it for porn ;)

or you could just send me cash in the mail and then I'll use my credit card to pre-order in your name

or you could just send me cash in the mail and then I'll use my credit card to pre-order in your name

For a small processing fee, right? LOL

I would gladly help everyone out for free but unfortunately in this world it's hard to trust people.

[icedmetal57]

There is always the option of purchasing pre-paid Visa cards for example if you don't own a regular credit/debit card. The more payment options the better, I suppose. Personally doesn't matter to me as I've already pre-ordered. :D

Pleased cat is pleased.

paysafecard.com is the easiest way to pay for me and lot of other players. Will be there posibility to pay via this pay system in the future?

[matthewfarmery]

I looked this up, and seems to be a OK way to pay, also its got a lot of support in quite a few countires, so who knows, maybe Crate could add the option to pay using this, as it uses a prepaid card scheme

[Bobcat]

paysafecard would still be my prefered choice, I can just go down to the next gas station, and buy a card with hard cash..

don't like to give companies my account number, real name, adress etc..

not that I plan anything illegal, but who knows what they're gonna do with that info, or when they're gonna be hacked by some mister anonymous or anyone else ;)

well, for now, wirecard sounds like the least problematic (and one of the only) alternatives for me and some others,

so I might give it a try after all indeed,
in case it's not possible to see paysafecard as an option...

danke to eisprinzessin for pointing me to this thread ;)

[eisprinzessin]

my pleasure

[ferfelekis]

yes please. add the option of paysafe card. i want a legendary key. i dont have credit card. paysafe is easy to use.

[eisprinzessin]

Three people asking for paysafecard. Currently there are about 1500 preorders. Even if this resulted in an extra 100 preorders, the effort to set up this option would probably not be justified.

[Demoness]

There is big possibility it can be much more than 100 pre orders. But it's a decision of developers if they add paysafecard option.

[matthewfarmery]

I think an extra payment option would be a good thing, especailly as there is interest in using it, and Crate needs all the money they can get at the mo

and if everyone of those people buy a legendary key, that would be $4800 (if the number is 100) which wouldn't be bad going really, so maybe it would be worth having?

[eisprinzessin]

BTW - there has been another obstacle in offering additional payment options:
We'll be expanding our payment options probably until we're a little closer to releasing the alpha as a lot of payment providers seem to have issues with the sale of merchandise that isn't close to its ship date.

[matthewfarmery]

that is sad, but understandable

[redscores]

I would use paysafecard too, and really... paysafe is the safest way to pay you can get, just go to a nearby gasoline and ask for paysafe for 10/20/30 euro and you get a code which you just have to type in a mask to do the payment.

No own informations involved, no problems with countries and it is very fast! You don't have to wait 3 days for the charging of the wirecard.

There is another one payment processing that probably will be interesting: ukash.com - it is available in less "common" countries. If you did not consider it yet it is worth to look at.

[boughrouck]

U-kash and Paysafe Cards offer ways to have rechargeable with their tickets debit cards that should work like the prepaid cards do, since you need to enter your address to create your card and they send it to you by post
I know it is awfull to have to pay the added fees ,but if you are really eager that would be an option too and it could be used anywhere you would need a credit card too always being able to refund your cards with Ukash or Paysafe codes

[Lixi]

I admit to not having read the entire thread (just had surgery on an eye so I'm skimming while trying to feed my internet addiction)... but UKASH rocks!

You go to a variety store (can find one via their webpage and putting in yoru postal code/what not) and you can ask them to sell you a voucher (nothing more than a receipt) with a UKASH # on it.. then you input the # in the game's payment section.. quite simple, no credit card, annonymous.. and can buy something like 20/50/75/100/150$ vouchers.. don't have to use all in one spot.. (I use mine to play poker without giving credit card info).

it's extremely convenient and reliable, had some issues previously but the management handled it brililantly.

I live in a rural part of Ontario and it's made life so much easier re: playing online games, or buying things on line.

Extra point:
The problem with UKASH is that some of the stores (at least here in Ontario) that have it don't know they have it/what it is.. you can print out a document from the UKASH site that will take the variety store worker through the simple steps.. it's literally no more than buying phone minutes to top up your card/phone.

[Raven]

That's it. Ukash is important for it's ability to get cash. Credit card owners are able to pay with their cards directly but Ukash gives an ability to pay for those potential customers who do not have credit cards or whos credit cards are not accepted by processings.
That's not a problem to me personally to pay with CC (I did it already actually) but there are really many people who can't do that. I also can't say how much Ukash wants as a processing fee but it should be easy to learn directly from them. As I know they are quite welcome to new clients so it could possibly open the whole new class of customers adding them if they do processing for unfinished projects.

[imthedan]

I'm sure you could buy prepaid visa cards as well. Just go to Walgreens and pick up a Vanilla prepaid gift card. You can put as much as you want on it and then use that to pay.

[durruti]

worked for me - well, the card has yet to be charged but the rest went smooth.

edit: the card getting charged took another 3-4 workdays so there...

[EdibleYeti]

I agree with other comments suggesting a pre-paid Visa. Quite honestly it's not worth any effort for Crate to support all sorts of different options when it's extremely easy for someone to walk into any number of stores and grab a pre-paid Visa off the shelf.

[Demoness]

Is any problem with paysafecard? I used it for lot of payments with no problems, so in my opinion is PSC great payment possibility for support Grim Dawn. Crate guys, what do you think about paysafecard?
