But notice - "The billing information should match the credit card used in the next step." ? Meaning it crosses itself as I said in the last post! Look. Simply - Enter your name or someone elses name. BUT the name you give must match the credit card... ehh?
If you have a question, have a dollar and call somebody that cares.
No really just PM me if you have a problem :)

Meaning... Those two go across each other, you can enter any name BUT the name must match the credit card... wtf?


We have support for a system for entering a name that is not identical to the credit card name, but it is currently used only when Algodoo is purchased by e.g. a school. The text you refer to comes from this, and I agree that it is confusing. Thanks for pointing it out!

Exactly. My parents got so confused they took no risks and put their own name there.. Meaning, its confusing, even to adults.

There's a fix for this in the next maintenance release (don't ask when, you will find out!) and the webshop information has been clarified.
Thanks for reporting these things!
