I have had a very frustrating experience with donations on Warmane with PaymentWall. Frankly, in all my years, this has got to be the worst payment gateway ever to be available.
* I tried making payments to my my account from my country and I got an error "We were unable to authorize your account".
* To learn more about this issue, I actually make an account with PaymentWall and initiated an inquiry with them. This was their reply:
* I don't see how people expect you to have credit cards from other countries by default. It's a very sucky thing to ask for. In any way, since I didn't have a choice, I asked a friend of mine on Warmane who has successfully donated to your server to do it. This was the issue he got:As per checking, your transactions made on 11/23/19 have been unsuccessful on our end because the country where your card was issued was not supported by our payment partner.
We suggest you try using other cards issued from another country.
* Sadly he has reservations on sharing his personal details with PaymentWall (concerns with misuse), and I can't blame him. You can't force someone to share their personal details and as a result I cannot make this payment type either :(Your payment was canceled and refunded.

Thank you,

So I am left with no choices and possibilities of donating. I understand that there is probably no control on Warmane side regarding this (I have worked on integrating payment gateways for other companies before) other than providing alternative payment gateways, but on the off chance that you do have some control over this please let me know if:
1) Is there a way to authenticate my transaction or provide a temporary option from which I could make this payment.
2) Do you have plans to integrate a different payment-gateway other than PaymentWall (it seems there are multiple threads where they have had issues with PaymentWall, altogether not a good choice if you plan on collecting money IMHO).
Personally I would love a solution in the lines of 2) since 1) is only a temporary solution and will again lead to issues when I'm donating again.
Best Regards
