Star membership

3. Hello

Unfortunately I don't have any control over what happens when you leave DU and use PayPal's service to make a payment, so I am generally unable to perform troubleshooting or fix issues if they are specifically related to errors encountered on PayPal.

If you are trying to make a one-time payment, you do not need to create a PayPal account if you follow the instructions here:

However, if you follow those instructions to the letter and you are having issues with your card being accepted by PayPal, you would have to contact their support to figure out what the problem is.

With all that said: If you are completely stuck, we do have an alternative method of payment which we are currently testing. You can use this link to make a payment via Stripe, without PayPal:

Please note though that if you use the Stripe method, because we are still in the testing phase, your Star Membership will not automatically update when you make the payment -- instead, I will be notified of the payment by email, and then I will manually update your Star Membership here at DU. Because of this, there may be a short delay between the time you make the payment and the time your Star Membership is updated.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
