"Remember me" for Stripe payments

Stripe will soon be introducing an option to remember your card details so that you don't have to enter them each time. Here's some information! Stripe article The above article explains how it works, but the key points are: - It is linked to your phone number, and uses 2FA to ensure your details are secure. - All payment details are, and continue to be, handled exclusively by Stripe - PFQ never receives anything more than basic details required to verify payments. - You can delete your saved information if you want. It should be fairly straightforward when they launch the feature on March 29th. If you prefer to enter your details each time, that's fine - just don't click the new "remember me" checkbox :D If you have any questions, please ask - I can relay them to Stripe if needed.

can i use a USA-only prepaid gift card for this kind of payment? i've only used Paypal before, it linking to my phone number kinda confuses me.

I'm not Niet, and I don't use Stripe. But I do know why Paypal links to your phone number. It's a backup method to verify who you are/enter your account. If your email isn't working but your phone is, they can text you the code to reset your password and things like that.

Granted I only tried to do this back when PayPal was the method of choice for ZC purchases, but a Visa prepaid card didn't allow me to purchase ZC because PFQ is based in Britain. I'd check the specific card to see if it's capable of overseas transactions.

I hope this means payment will be more secure and safe for those who use it.

Well it doesn't change security on the payment side, but it does mean you need to be more responsible for your device. For instance, if a parent buys ZC for their child and mistakenly checks the "remember me" box, then the child could make more payments on it. Stripe already uses the best security available.

That actually might be pretty helpful sir
