Is Paypal the only way to purchase pie?

My pie recently expired and I went to buy more but I can't figure out how to do it without having a Paypal account? You used to be able to make a Paypal payment without an account. I can't have an account with my email and am not willing to open yet another email account.

If you are using a desktop computer, you can buy pie by going through paypal without creating a paypal account.  This feature is unfortunately not available on their mobile site.

Is there a special way to do that because I'm not seeing it. It says pay with debit/credit but then your options are to open an account or to cancel and return to merchant. Returning to merchant doesn't pay anything. I want to pay but not open an account. This is on my desktop.

So I'm guessing it takes you to a screen where you can either log in or pay with debit or credit through paypal and at the bottom it says enter password to create account....well try not putting a password in.  Because I'm pretty sure they are trying to trick people into making an account.  which makes me not like them.  

Tried that. It says that a password is required.

Oh no!  Let me look into this a little more.

It seems that paypal does that to some people, but not all people.  I have no clue as to why.

With the PIE stuff there is some stuff about paying regularly.  Maybe that has something to do with it.

We are trying to add some crypto stuff to our payment stuff - but i'm not sure if the crypto stuff can do recurring payments.

I can do manual processing - but we charge $10 for that.  So it would be silly for one piece of pie.  But if you wanna pay with crypto or amazon gift card or something like that, i can manually get it sorted out.

Some lovely people gave me some pie for now but next month I will do 2 pies manually. Thank you Paul.

The current infrastructure of crypto can't do that on its own - you can't take crypto coins from a person without them initiating the payment in the first place.

However, if you keep your bitcoin in a managed cloud wallet like coinbase, they can technically offer this service. A quick research on the internet tells me that coinbase doesn't offer this kinda service.
