  I’m trying to pay $13 for domain mapping but I only see PayPal and Credit Card payment methods. Where’s the mythical Bitcoin option?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Bitcoin cannot be used to purchase third party items including domains and premium themes. Are you clear on that?

  To purchase a domain mapping upgrades read what follows please.

  Below are the only accepted means of payment.

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:

  WordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades ( bitcoin cannot be used for domain and premium theme purchases) – you can learn more here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/pay-another-way-bitcoin/

  I don’t want to purchase 3rd party items such as domains and premium themes. I want the luxury WordPress upgrade premium feature of “domain mapping.” I already have a domain name.

  My customer experience with WordPress thus far is quite poor, even without mainostoimistokurki’s assistance.

  @bitfloorcustomer
  Thanks for knowing that this is a peer support forum, that the average turbnaround time for a first response on any blogging support forum is 12 – 24 hours and that we do better than that here. As would be expected, Staff serve those who posted first and there are pages of bloggers who are waiting for Staff help who all had their threads tagged before I tagged this thread for Staff.

  Hi @bitfloorcustomer – Some upgrades can’t yet be purchased via Bitcoin, including domain registration, domain mapping, and premium themes. Other upgrades can. Let me know if you have further questions!
