Well, first sorry for that.

It's on our roadmap to move away from paypal asap. The reason we started with it was purely out of easiness.. I don't know if you're based in Europe but around here setting up a merchant account with a company like PayMill or Braintree can take up to 2 months before you can process any payment.

Again, sorry for that, it will be fixed as soon as we move away from paypal which I hope will happen in the next couple of weeks.

Hi the problem isn't with using PayPal. That's fine in my opinion for startin up. Its your asking for people to enter sensitive information on an unencrypted page but also, they can click through to the next screen without entering any details like name, address. Surely this is required info and there should be checks in place to make sure all required fields are entered before heading to payment page.

Don't mean to be hard on you, just want to save you some problems down the road.

Peace.

Yes, I got understood that. Just mentioned paypal to explain that the checkout flow will be fixed when we move away from them.

No worries, it's a very valid point!
