    I’m interested to buy wordfence premium key, but I don’t want to share my card details. Previously have been agreed by the devs to accept paypal as payment method, but since they forcing people to register and store card details in their system. Why devs of wordfence forcing people to register and store card details online for such simple thing as a key?
    I understand the wordfence servers are super secure, but I don’t care simple as that. Wordfence is connecting to “super secure” servers and have to enter the key manually in options and it is checked by “super secure” servers anyway so why do I have to register my card details and can’t simple buy a key using paypal?

    PayPal has been known to freeze accounts. As nice as PayPal is, it’s one extra financial hurdle that can trip up a transaction.

    When I don’t want to share my card details, I use a virtual credit card number.

    We do NOT store your card details on our servers. They are stored by Authorize.net which is owned by VISA. So your card info is being stored on visa’s servers and once you submit it to us and, once it’s passed on securely we never see your card number again. Ever. Yes our servers are secure, but VISA is the cyber equivalent of Fort Knox.

    Secondly, WE DO ACCEPT PAYPAL. Who told you we don’t?! Just email billing at wordfence dot com and Kerry will be more than happy to explain how to pay and we’ll get your keys created as soon as payment clears.

    Regards,

    Mark.
