After a while of using and enjoying the forum, I decided to get a gold membership. A small contribution to the cause with some nice perks attached to it.
As I tried it, the web took me to PayPal. Is that the only way to pay for it?
After I click on purchase, it takes me to PayPal being that the only way to pay it.
Account upgrades page listing Gold Membership options: 6 months for $7.98, 1 year for $12.98, and Forever for $49.98, each with a Purchase button; a red arrow points to the Forever option.


PayPal login window in Spanish showing a price of 49,98 USD, an email or mobile number field, a Siguiente button, and a Crear una cuenta option.



After asking to @berkeman about it I learnt that donations are also done through PayPal but it allows to pay with a credit or debit card.
Dropdown menu under the INFO tab of the forum navigation bar, listing Terms and Rules, About Us, Members, Donate with a red heart icon, and Help.
Donation form showing 'Donate to Greg Bernhardt, Physics Forums', amount $0 USD, a checkbox for monthly donation, a yellow 'Donate with PayPal' button and an outlined 'Donate with Debit or Credit Card' button.


Would it be possible to have those options for the acquisition of the gold membership too?

For reference, I tried the process from a PC working on Windows 10, using the navigator Chrome from Spain.
