Payment Options: Paypal, Credit Card, and Purchase Premium within iTunes app?

Solved!

Payment Options: Paypal, Credit Card, and Purchase Premium within iTunes app?

As I do not have a credit card or a PayPal, since I'm under 18, I would love to buy the Premium Edition but I do not have a credit card or Paypal. I think It would be a great idea to purchase premium within the Spotify app on iTunes for $9.99 every month or something like that. If possible I will buy premium but as of right now I can't and hope some developers or someone will make it work since I chose to leave Pandora I liked the 48 hour free trial but I no long have it and really want it back!! Otherwise I'll have to go keep looking for a new app to spend money on!

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

Unfortunately it is not currently possible to pay for Spotify via your iTunes account, and there are a few reasons for that which I am aware off:

- Spotify uses credit card data to verify the country you are purchasing from directly since you can only register in certain countries. 

- Spotify would have to pay Apple's cut on all sales through that channel, so the cost would either go up or they would make less money.

- Apple is a competitor too!

 

If you want to suggest it as an official idea, head over to the Ideas Exchange (but be sure to search first!)

If Spotify Gift Cards are currently not available in your country you have the the option of purchasing Spotify Premium pay-as-you-go by following the information on this website...PayNearMe (http://paynearme.com/spotify) for more info.
