Inappropriate?I rarely use anything other than paypal to buy things online, so having PayPal would influence me to purchase premium

Inappropriate?Likewise. I don't really like using VISA in other forms than paypal online. -
Inappropriate?Yes it provides double security. I think the team are aware of Paypal, but I think they don't use that service because paypal charges a fee for every incoming transaction, that the company would debite the end user - 10 kr + 99 = 109 kr. Not so big diffrent, but I think peoples are willing to pay that price for their own security.1 Comment Add a comment

They're the "Microsoft" of payment, monopolistic and charge much for their service. but excellent too, as Microsoft on the software market...
-
Inappropriate?I don't have (and dislike) credit cards... and Spotify does not accept debit cards or PayPal... I really want to access the premium service :(

Why can't spotify accept traditional billing payment such e-bill or physical bill?
-
Inappropriate?Just to let you know. I have just stopped my Premium subscription.
This is purely on the fact that there is no pay via PayPal facility or some payment method that is linked to my bank account. Credit Card is an inconvenience to me. Until that changes I have reverted back to free account.
Love the program, love the concept, love the support. Just make payment easier for everyone.

I managed to add Paypal to my site in 12 minuets ...
I don't cry about the charges because it is business I would have lost otherwise..
Maybe you make more for your ads than subscriptions?

Spotify would require instant payment notification (IPN) from paypal, not the plug and play version which takes considerable time to program. You should really research your facts before you comment.
-
Inappropriate?How about Direct Debit or Maestro - I don't want to use a credit card (in fact in the current financial climate it could be argued that forcing people to use a credit card is a little immoral). Please work on this I am ready to subscribe to premium but I won't unless you allow me to bill directly to my bank account and not a credit card.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Do they really only accept credit card? I'm pretty sure I can pay using my VISA that is a debit card with no credit on it. Haven't tried because I'm satisfied with the free version and it said that they accept Visa and Maestro. I always guessed that I could pay with a debit card because I have never had any problem in any other online store what so ever.
Maybe I'm confused because English is not my native language but credit card and debit card is not the same thing, right?
I’m happily confused

Debit card is usually your bank card/checking account card/where you get your salary paid into rather than a credit card
-
Inappropriate?I lost my debit card over a month ago, and i havent phoned to have it replaced, also ive had no need, all the web sites i use take paypal or remembered my card numbers.
I beg you to re-consider the option of alternative payment methods.
I’m over it.
-
Inappropriate?Was just about to signup to premium, then noticed they don't accept Paypal or Maestro. Don't want to use a credit card and don't have a Visa Debit card.
Shame.
-
Inappropriate?Yes, when do we get paypal? You said in the near future over a month ago!
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?För Spotify ́s egen del skulle jag definivt se till att använda Paynova för att komma åt hela den kinesiska marknaden.

Inappropriate?I am getting Rapsody, THEY accept paypal...
J/K, but common!!! It is the first time that I actually see people BEG to pay for something.
I’m SHOCKED
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for providing a great music service, but come on guys I would love to pay with Maestro or PayPal, and would have bought a day pass about 10 times by now if you had those options. While I wouldn't want the premium service, I would pay £3 for a day pass to use it for dinner parties etc.
Please add more payment providers!! In my experience Paypal charges less fees than credit card merchant services!
Spotify has a real chance to be "the next big thing" for musos, but you are losing out on business because you are lagging behind with payment options!
I’m WAITING!!!
-
Inappropriate?i agree paypal or maestro..
i just got iphone spotify, i was just about to go premium.. no credit card..
another premium subscription lost..

same problem for me...
-
Inappropriate?You could always get a prepaid visa card like the new O2 card. Load it up on a monthly basis with money, and have Spotify come off it?
Not sure if that would work, but am going to test it out until they get paypal working.
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?3 months guys come on please!
People are begging to pay for your service, it might be an idea to do this ;)
If you get paypal implemented, then I might consider getting premium. -
Inappropriate?I think all development is focusing on the mobile platform and they are forsaking their biggest platform, THE DESKTOP MARKET.
Really quite a sad thing. This thread is literally full of people wanting to pay by paypal, maestro, and so on... but no response since 3 months ago.
The same with playlist organisation.. nothing has been said. In its earlier days Spotify closely listened to it's users and took all the ideas into serious consideration. Nowadays, it's an entirely different picture.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've been all over the news that Spotify was coming to the iPhone. I was ready to pay for 12 months subscription upfront but lo and behold only credit cards are accepted. Seems such a waste as i'm not getting a credit card just for Spotify when i wouldn't use it for anything else.
I've applied for the o2 visa card anyway so hopefully that might work. Paypal is what we need and want, get that up and running and the subscriptions would be sky high, visa/mastercard just isn't enough!
What a waste, i'm almost tempted to try Rhapsody...
I’m proper frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Great idea.
I do not have a creditcard, but i do want to pay for a Spotify premium account.
Now the application for my Android phone has been released, I just can't wait to try this out. I was going to sign-up for a premium membership until i noticed that a creditcard was the only payment option.
I'm very dissapointed that i can't subscribe to a premium account because of this limited payment options.
So Spotify, when is this "near future" ?
I’m sad
-
Inappropriate?every day they dont do it, they loose more and more customers. Customers who should make it possible to survive. they're hurting themselves to not do what the customers wants. Especally when it comes to payment.
-
Inappropriate?Please people, realise that adding paypal is not as simple as a button and a bit of html.
When adding a payment provider like paypal, to be able for Spotify to easily manage their accounts, it would have to be a fully automated system, as if you do it manually, checking 1000s of transactions a month would be impossible (and very costly).
It's also very costly to integrate it into an existing website - design build and test is not an over night thing!
So just say "yes I would like paypal" and get on with your day! -
Inappropriate?I really want to pay for 1 year premium subscription for Spotify on my iPhone but my UK bank does Maestro cards rather than Visa debit.
Please add Maestro or Paypal as a payment option.
How about Spotify gift cards like what iTunes sell in the supermarket?
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I really wish Spotify would listen to us customers!.
Ive had no choice but to switch to a company that accepts PayPal. until Spotify starts seeking paypal payments i shall not be using there service.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?PayPal must be added and i will consider buying premium!!
I’m confident you will add it
-
Inappropriate?I would LOVE it if Spotify could add PayPal as a payment option. You can't even count the times that I've wanted to buy a Day Pass! And with PayPal, there's just a couple of clicks and a few buttons to push and there you go! It couldn't be more simple for us, the users.
I, like many of you, don't have a credit card. Even if I did, I'm not sure that I would want use it over the internet. It's much easier and it feels so much safer to just use PayPal instead of inserting your credit card info everywhere!
So thank you if you, some day in the VERY NEAR future, would add PayPal!
I’m sick of waiting, need to spend some money now!
-
Inappropriate?There's probably also a rights issue. Spotify should be able to check where you are from by your paypal account like they do with the credit/debit cards.
I can imagine this to be mandatory by the record company's so someone from lets say the USA can't use paypal + proxy to get an account overthere.
Eventhough you'd think they'd scheer for anyone willing to pay, these kind of issues wil make implementation a lot harder...
I’m unconcerned
-
Inappropriate?but won't paypal offer a such functionality, they're a brave company who knows how to care about their customers...
Again, a lot ignorance from the spotify team at this topic is a thing such sending out your lovely customers from your shop... A really bad idea, since they really need money to survive. Come on, don't loose yourself on this topic. I hate all that mobile buzz that they're bloated in, I think they're paid by the service providers... -
Inappropriate?I have never had to beg a company to take my money from me before! Please guys give us non-credit owning people some way to go premium.
Could you at least give us an idea of timescales? 3 months is a long time when you have to listen to those terrible adverts all the time.3 Comments Add a comment

Good news!
(And yes I think this is one of the best points since it solved the problem completely.) -
Inappropriate?Many thank yous for the posibility to use paypal as a payment option.
However, as an existing premium customer, I don't see an option in my account to change from using a charge card to paypal, even though I do see it in the new account sign up page. Is this something which will be added anytime soon, or will I need to cancel my account and re-sign up, and loose my current invites in the process?
Regards,

AFAIK, your invites are connected to your account, not if it is premium or free.
-
Inappropriate?It is nice to see that paypal is almost working.
My paypal is assigned with my DK creditcard which works great anywhere but at spotify. What is the purpose of using paypal if who dont have launch-country credit card??
It defeats the whole purpose of using paypal.

Inappropriate?Spotify isn't allowing paypal bank payment. Just paypal with credit card. It is ridiculous since I have a verified bank account from a country with spotify available (spain). Am I forced to have a credit card even though I do not want to?!? ... please adress this issue.
I’m very disapointed
