PayPal payments

When purchasing a Premium membership, PayPal may ask for credit card information even if you have funds in your account. This usually happens due to fraud protection and issues related to currency. If this comes up, we recommend reaching out to PayPal for assistance.

You can also send your payment directly to order@chess.com via PayPal. Once you've paid, please click the link below to fill out the form and let us know.
