Spot.Us – Now With More PayPal!!!

Two requests we’ve gotten a lot….

1. Integrating PayPal

2. Allow the site remember credit cards so I don’t have to go through the hassle of entering it in every time.

If you have a PayPal account – then you know that the first feature request takes care of the second.

This will also provide a sense of security for those that aren’t familiar with Spot.Us previously. I can understand the fear of putting in one’s credit card information online – but by using PayPal, a tested service, that anxiety can be alleviated.

I went ahead and gave $5 towards a story I believe in to test this feature out. Anyone wanna join me?

Some technical notes

  • If you are a returning Spot.Us user you may have to remove your cookies to log back into the site.
  • The PayPal donation will not be automatically shown on the pitch you donated to. There is a slight delay and we are working on closing that time gap. But the donation will eventually be represented on the pitch of your choice – that we can promise!
