Paypal still not working on iOS

Still not able to play Stadia, because after activating the Code on iOS you‘re only able to select a Debit-/Credit card as payment for the Pro-subscription. Located in Germany and I have neither Credit nor Debit nor an android device to complete the activation progress. I know that Google pay doesn’t work on iOS here (for now), because of Apple, but shouldn‘t Google have known that? (The Lawsuit about it IS on a Federal level) As is, I currently have a 130$ Cool looking doorstopper that is otherwise unusable for me and every other German in the same Situation.

@Skansy @Cesrap623 I know this might not be the best solution, but unless you have a spare Android device (which can take other payments other than cc/debit card), can you maybe get one of those temporary debit cards?

What method of payment are you trying to use btw?

I've had a call with the support about that specific case today.

Right now only the payment methode with a credit card is possible.

I'd suggest to implement a prepaid system, like using pro is not available until google receives the money - that way there cannot be scam.

Anyway how to contact the devs about this so they can implement this asap? @GraceFromGoogle

Wouldn't it also be possible to pay with Google Play Balance?

Normally I would think that PayPal is activated for Stadia as well, because PayPal is an accepted payment method for Google purchases (see here). Might of course be, that Stadia is an exception, but for everything else it works fine.

Are you able to put PayPal on pay.google.com and then try again to activate the Pro subscription?

@Chufu The issue is actually with the iOS itself. It won't let you use anything other than credit/debit card when you're trying to make any sort of payment through the Stadia app. You can use Paypal and other Google payment methods through Android devices.

wt*???

why did the support confirmed me then that it isn't possible to pay pro with paypal (yet)?

I was able to order the founders edition via google pay in that via paypal, that I can't pay the pro from the app on ios really f*cks me up, neither from the chrome browser...!

good to know that it should work with android, imma check that out with my tablet then later. Thanks for that @Ivan!

With credit cards really not being so widely spread (among young people) in Germany, I wouldn't be surprised if a month or two from now, we start seeing prepaid cards just like for itunes, steam, paysafe-cards etcpp. in gas-stations and electronic stores.

Feels like an easy to implement thing... even though it's stupid and PayPal should just work.

PS: actually, getting a credit card is totally not that big of a deal and it comes in handy in many other places, too. Probably the fastest way for you to get into action is: get a credit card. Sorry! :face_blowing_a_kiss:
