Buy Premium can show Card / Apple Pay / PayPal & more, Manual Crypto, and Gift Card (Azteco). What appears depends on country, plan amount, and which licensed providers are online right now. There is no StreamEast-hosted card form on our servers.

What each rail actually is

Card, Apple Pay, PayPal & more — when shown, you continue to a licensed third-party checkout. Names like Banxa, Coindrop, or similar may appear depending on region. Those companies process the payment; they are not “the only way to pay,” just the processor for that session.

Manual Crypto — you send from your own wallet or exchange. Pick a coin and network you can actually withdraw, not only buy. Checkout shows an address and amount with about a 60-minute rate lock.

Gift Card (Azteco) — buy an unused Azteco Bitcoin voucher from a listed retailer and submit it without redeeming it yourself. Most submits auto check and redeem; status arrives by email and My Account → Notifications.

Why PayPal or card sometimes disappears

Missing PayPal usually means no provider supports it for that amount and region right now. Try another plan amount, turn VPN off, reload, or switch to Manual Crypto / Azteco. PayPal is not guaranteed every session. If no card providers appear at all, Manual Crypto or Azteco on the same page are the intended fallbacks.

Card checkout that looks like crypto

Some processors show a buy or convert step that looks like crypto even after you chose Card or PayPal. That can be normal for that provider — finish their screens. It is not the same as Manual Crypto, where you send coins yourself to a StreamEast invoice.

If you expected to type a card on StreamEast

That is not offered. For the card rail, payments always settle on the provider’s secure page.
