Hi!

I would like to purchace gold membership for a year and pay it with Paypal. However when I click Paypal payment option it requires me to fill in my credit card information. I spesifically use Paypal so I don't need to put credit card information online. Is there way to purchace membership with Paypal without giving my card information, like it work on other sites? I tried to contact chess.com admins week ago, but still no answer.

If you wish to purchase a premium membership without a credit card, other payment methods are available. See the following article:

Hi 

Your Paypal payment option requires a credit card that I don't have. Shows a message( Please add a card to complete your purchase.)
Make Peypal options, payment email address.


What is a PayPal payment email?

Anyone with an email address can receive a request, whether they have a PayPal account or not. Your request is instantly emailed and they can pay you with a PayPal balance. It's easy for both you and your customer.


I asked about it and no answer from your payment support, don't you want me to buy a subscription ??? .

You can now pay for your Chess.com memberships with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more! See the following article: 

How can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Memberships are subscriptions and without a payment source on PayPal, you can't sign up for subscriptions.
