Idea for Maestro Card acceptance

Postby Ebrilond » Sat Sep 19, 2020 8:06 am

The topic explains it all.
I really like NationStates, I always have- this game grew closer to me the more I played it.
Now, in a previous post of mine on a different board or forum, I've mentioned my plan to buy the Site Supporter since I want to preserve my nation.
However, my card is a Maestro one and it's not supported by the NS store, only Paypal, Mastercard etc.
So I'm suggesting that Maestro cards should be accepted. I've done some research, Stripe accepts Maestro.

"But why won't you move banks or change your card?"
Because my school promised to send money to all students who done 2 weeks of physical work, and I'm one of that people- and I've already signed the papers along with my bank account number. I don't want to get into trouble by mixing things up.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post- or if my post does not meet some requirements.

NationStates' store uses stripe. Try checking out with "Buy with card". The underlying technology is using Stripe for that method of payment.

By the way your nation name is already "safe" -- nations who have populations > 500 million don't have their names released under the current rules.

Yeah, it constantly says "Your card does not support this type of purchase". No idea what to do.

Maybe it's something to do with your card? Maybe your bank or whoever has blocked online purchases?
