Trying to purchase Custom Design but can't complete payment in Store

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to purchase custom theme but the price is coming up as $0.00 and am unable to complete the transaction.
    The shopping cart reads “Custom Design 1 year subscription Cost $0.00”

    Choose a Payment Method
    “WordPress.com Credits”

    Button below that reads:
    Purchase Custom Design for free.

    When I click on either of these buttons to complete the purchase I get an error message “insufficient Credits” or similar

    Please help.

    Do you have credits already? Staff disabled the ability to buy the upgrade separately for new accounts; old ones can still buy it.

    Thanks, Raincoaster, for your reply.
    No, I did not have credits at the time I attempted to purchase. But I have since then paid $99 for an “Custom Design” annual subscription. I would have preferred to pay $30 one-off for the colour changes – which is all I need at the moment.
    Please can you explain when “new” account started? I have had this account for over a year.

    Sept 1 was the cutoff for the new Cable TV bundle Up-selling price

    since your account is older than that you should be able to buy just the CSS for $ 30.-/year – no need to buy extra junk you don’t want or need

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry for the trouble with your purchase — our team fixed up the error that you had the first time around.

    I see that you signed up for a free trial of WordPress.com Premium. If you’d prefer to purchase only Custom Design, you can cancel that free trial under Store > My Upgrades in your site’s dashboard and head to the Store page to purchase Custom Design instead.

    Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
