Purchase and licenses
3D Secure
According to the international regulations, the WayForPay service requires a 3D Secure verification during the payment for extra fraud protection. Typically, you will be redirected to an authentication page on your bank’s website, and need to enter a password associated with the card or a code sent to your phone. This process is familiar to customers through the card networks’ brand names, such as Visa Secure and Mastercard Identity Check.
Can I purchase a license only for the TPO profile chart?
Yes, you can purchase a separate license for TPO Profile Chart. But keep in mind that TPO Chart additionally uses the volume analysis tools for various color schemes as well as for the overlaying of volume profiles. So for the full operation with the TPO chart, we also recommend buying a license for volume analysis tools.

Why am I getting "declined to card issuer" status after payment?
The WayForPay company is not a popular payment gateway internationally, that is why many banks don't allow transactions from their accounts to WayForPay automatically without previous verification. That is why, sometimes, you can pay for a Quantower license but your payment stays unfinished and the license won’t grant for your account.
If this issue occurs, you should contact your bank support and ask them to allow the money transactions to WayForPay, and once they do this — you will be able to pay without this problem further.
Why isn't PayPal or similar international payment gateways available as payment methods for Quantower?
You can freely use a Stripe payment gateway for purchasing Quantower licenses.
As you might know, Quantower LLC is a Ukrainian company that is situated in Ukraine and operates under Ukrainian legislation. As for now, PayPal and similar payment gateways don't provide business accounts in Ukraine, that is why we have to use one of the payment processors from Ukraine (WayForPay). Currently, we are working on having a representative in the USA that should allow us to process payments via the popular payment gateways.
WayForPay verification email
As a part of an internal anti-fraud system, the WayForPay service can ask you to verify your person via an email letter. This procedure occurs only once, and when you’ve got an email asking about the verification that was really you, who initiated the payment for the Quantower license, you need to provide the requested materials to finish the transaction.
What are the payment alternatives?
In case you can’t or don’t want to deal with the WayForPay service, you may also try the Coinpayments service, which is another option of payment for the Quantower license. This service is mostly for crypto-transactions but it also supports fiat payments.
For those who want to purchase a Lifetime license, there is a wire transfer as an alternative.
Pricing questions, Purchase and licenses
Can I get a discount on the license?
We provide an automatic discount for purchases of several months. The longer-term the license you purchase, the more you save on monthly payments. For example, if you purchase any license for a period of 1 year, you will receive a 30% discount.
How can I pay for Quantower's license?
You can purchase any Quantower license directly through our website on the Pricing page using cards Visa or MasterCard.
We also accept payments in cryptocurrencies, through the payment system CoinPayments.
