Devaka modified our software to make this simpler.  Take a moment to look at the improvements to our PIE page.  Maybe even test it to make sure it is working okay!  :)

If everything is working perfectly, then i wanna send a dailyish saying something like

For a few days you can get 12 slices of PIE for $65 (normally $100).  Reward good posts on permies with PIE!  Get access to the private PIE forum with freebies and discounts.  Get heaps of bonus features on the forums (my favorite is the green line).

Page looks great on mobile! perks drop downs work very well.

In the freebies section:
Probably need to replace every instance of "DVD" with "movie" since it's streaming, not mailing people physical discs.

I checked many (I think all) of the buttons, all that I clicked took me where I expected them to.

The toggle "Automatically buy pie every month" is slightly confusing to me regarding the higher $$ amounts:

Would I be spending $65/month? (Or $600/month?), that's what it means to me on first read.

I can't tell if it's meant primarily for the $10 level, and that higher levels would replenish pie when user's pie runs out

Since you have two places to buy one slice of pie, I think it would make more sense to remove the “automatically buy pie monthly” slider and just make that the product you are purchasing in the first box that says buy pie for $10. Emphasize it’s a monthly subscription or something.

Then the place lower with the up and down arrow will let people buy a one off pie if they want.

This would keep people from accidentally registering to buy $600 (or $65) worth of pie a month which would cause refund headaches for you.

Within the 'What's Pie', 'Build Up Your Pie' blurb, it mentions earning pie by getting enough apples. Didn't that option go away several years back? Or is there a one-time threshold of apples that gets you pie that this refers to, rather than getting pie for every X apples?

The page looks really nice!  

All the buttons worked for me!

I will try on the mobil version too.

Thanks!

Yes, $65 per month.  

Devaka and i talked about this a bit.  Normally, everybody wants the $10 per month thing. But there are some people that want many pieces of pie each month.  And not that many that buy a bunch of pieces of pie just once.  So we default to $65 per month and see how things go.  We did move it to the top so it would be super clear.

Everything looked and worked fine for me, and the interface is clean.  

The only user-flow thing I could see is with the recurring button defaulting to on, you'll get an increase in support requests when folks buy a whole pie or 12 whole pies and accidentally set it to recurring.  If there is a way to get the paypal page to acknowledge that it is recurring, it would catch some amount of the accidents.

And now that's two people suggesting this ...

I definitely want to minimize headaches.  

Maybe ...  there are two sections kinda like there is now ...  the first section is the old way - the toggle and the number of pies.   And the second section is for one time bulk buys?

I'm not sure, but i think the current system is that when people get 20 apples, they get one slice of pie.  But they don't get any more apple based pie freebies after that.  

Maybe folks can confirm that this is the way things are working now?

That's my understanding too - a slice for the first 20 apples.

Win11 using Brave Browser :  

When you click [What's my Pie? - Pie perks - Find my pie] the page is very jumpy, and it doesn't keep those three selection at the top, IE: When you click on them it make you feel like you go to a completely different page. I see what your trying to do here, but it 'feels" disorientating.   in the code its called <section class="myPie" id="my">

I believe Line 357 and Line 605

<div class="pieNavMenu">
<a href="#what" >What's pie?</a>
<a href="#perks" >Pie perks</a>
<a href="#my" class="selected">Find my pie</a>
</div>

is what is making it jumpy

Also after, Special freebies and discount for pie members, I see a second copy of the  [What's my Pie? - Pie perks - Find my pie] before the Uh Oh!  As stated above.

If I see anything else I'll let you know.

Update: What's my Pie? When you click on it, it working with Line 357 code. Pie Perks is also working with that line of code, Find my pie is working with the Line 605, I believe this is why it feel so choppy.  

Here is a video to show you what it looks like on my end and explaining everything I said above.
