Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

There is no clear indication as to what payment types are accepted. You have to click Buy, set up an Ubuntu account, and start filling out the purchase form before you discover you can't pay by the method you wish.

That's an excellent point. The names and logos of the payment types we accept should be shown somewhere before you set up an account. Where that somewhere would be, I don't know yet.

As the bug mentions this should be displayed before logging in, this is not something that can be fixed in the payment service. Also, the current code asks for the payment method before requesting further details, so that is also addressed.

Hi mpt! I guess if we want to implement this, we'll need a spec for it. Thanks!
