Cant pay with paypal on gumroad/patreon/teespring 😔

Yes, I can find it there too, but we are trying to find a workaround for Paypal, and going to Discover tab and typing there Sapien Medicine product was the only way for Paypal to show up… But now, I can’t find them there.

IIRC, there used to be a hack where you could put your Sapien item in the cart and then go to any other creator and put any one of their items in your cart (don’t worry, you can delete it before you submit your order). Then go to checkout and that would cause the PayPal option to appear along with the credit card option.

Then you can use your PayPal, review your order (this is where you’d remove that other item) and then submit the order for payment through PayPal.

You could try that.

Another factor is that PayPal seems to keep changing its rules and gets weird in certain countries with certain kinds of products. Sometimes, it lets you know that it’s doing that (with a special error message page, saying that PayPal can’t currently process your payment from where you are). Sometimes, it just is weird in silence. (One of many reasons why the PayPalsux website is so active.)

Thanks!

But when I go to another creator in another tab, it will not show product (Sapien’s) in the basket. I needed to go to Discover tab and from there to find Sapien medicine and only then all products would be shown.

I don’t know if that is making any sense.

Your explanation makes sense to me. I just don’t know why Gumroad does that. It sounds like a Gumroad programming issue, which would be beyond Sapien’s control. I can’t help you with that. Good luck!

Thanks man. What is puzzling to me that I was able to buy Sapien’s product just days ago. It seems that they are changing thing on daily basis.

EDIT:

I just tried to buy a product from another creator without any “hacking” and Paypal is there alright.
So I’m not sure if it’s Gumroad programming issue.

:confused:

Bro, i’ve been fuc**** making money to buy one of his audios, now i cant even find him in the discover to pay with paypal, this is awasome, really awesome… :(((((((((((((((((((((((((

You made money focus on that you can always buy the fields later on in some way or another

yes bro, but i had plan with the field i wanted to buy, now i have to change everything… But before it worked, i think sapien knows that glitch so he disabled showing his products in discover channel look - Gumroad Discover - Gumroad Help Center

If you don’t want to use Discover, you can disable it in your [settings] at the bottom of the page.

If its true sapien dissapointed me :confused:

Why the hell should he do that? Doesn’t make any sense for anybody.

It could be though that with some new updates from the site some settings were set back to default settings dunno though.

Yes, i doubt it.
But, i remember once i wanted to use this glitch to pay with PayPal i couldn’t find him in discover, next day it worked, i hope it will be fixed soon :frowning:

btw on July 23 it worked :slight_smile:

Next update: Texted my friend who makes stuff on Gumroad, he says that he has that option for showing products in Discover enabled, but when i search him i still can’t find him - this must be some Gumroad’s problem.
