As I'm sure you know, the entire payment processing aspect of Spin Rewriter runs on PayPal. Yes, you can use a credit card through PayPal, but it all still goes through them.
Which is great — but our payment process implementation has stayed largely the same since 2011 and while it's served our customers incredibly well, it seems a bit clunky from a fresh, 2017 point of view.
You know how you're taken to PayPal's website when you want to sign up for your Spin Rewriter access? Then you need to log into your PayPal account, click "Confirm" a bunch of times, and then find a teeny tiny "Return to merchant" button to find your way back to us.
And if you then decide to purchase a cool power-up, like our WordPress Plugin and the license that comes with it, you have to do the whole dance again. Our website ... PayPal ... login ... click click ... find your way back ... aaah, here we go. 😃
In the world of Apple Pay, contactless cards and Bitcoins that doesn't really seem to cut it anymore, does it?
Which is why we've decided to team up with Braintree on this!
We're now hard at work to completely revamp our payment process, but here are the highlights:

We're now hard at work to completely revamp our payment process, but here are the highlights:
- In addition to accepting PayPal, we're now also integrating full support for separate credit card processing, right within our website
- We'll be able to add Apple Pay, Android Pay, Venmo and other relevant payment methods super easily in the future
- No matter which payment method you pick, you'll be able to complete the purchase right from our website, without being taken anywhere else
- When you decide to purchase a power-up, you'll be able to do that with a single click instead of repeating the whole dance
- ... Plus, it'll all look a thousand times better. 😃
