Is it possible to purchase the game in £?

Post by Daniel_Creates »

Hello, I was just wondering if it is possible to buy this game in Pounds rather than Euro's/Dollars or will this change automatically when I buy the game for example when I use PayPal. I was just wondering if this was possible as I don't want to mess up my Payment system just because of paying in Euros instead of Pounds. Thanks in advance.

Don't know about Factorio specifically, but I can tell you as someone with a PayPal account, that almost all of my purchases are in USD, but I am charged in my local currency (because that is the currency my credit card is charged in). I have never had any PayPal settings changed by what currency I am charged vs. what currently I am billed.
It is worth noting though that PayPal have their own conversion rates, which are not necessarily the same as what you might find elsewhere. So you may want to try the two options and see which one gets you the better deal :)

Good question! In my experience and to my knowledge, if you use PayPal it will convert it to your currency. I have purchased several things before that were in pounds rather than dollars, and it worked perfectly fine with PayPal, and did not change any settings. :)

Though sillyfly might be right that PayPal has a different exchanfe rate or something. But unless your very tight on !money, I wouldn't worry about it too much, as it can't be much different. :p

Hope this helped!
