Well, I wanted to start paying for the product and started entering the custom price.
I started entering the $3.50 and pressed enter... IndieGala turned it into a $10 price...
Then I wrote in $3,49 and instead of being $3,49 it actually was $349... WHAT?

So basically they don't recognize commas and they just randomly change the prices...
They could fix it easily, yet it's not been fixed for years now.

Not saying that it's something malicious. But if it's not that then it's extreme laziness from that disrespect towards the consumer.

Do you think that those issues should be fixed?

I'm more annoyed at how they tend to round up the price if you're not paying attention. Every penny counts!

For fuck's sake, if you type 1.1.1 in the custom field, then enter your email and proceed with the PayPal payment, they REALLY post a NAN amount to Paypal. NAN means "Not A Number" for those who don't know. Luckily for them, PayPal checks this crap and returns "No token passed".

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=&useraction=commit&AMT=nan&CURRENCYCODE=USD&RETURNURL=their_return_url_here

This level of QA is crap-like in the best case scenario.

Not to mention their stupid strip_currency function that does more harm than good. For those curious enough to know, this is how their production function looks like:

function strip_currency(string){ return Number(string.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,"")) }

If you wonder what this does, this removes anything that's not a digit or a decimal dot and merges everything together. That's why $1,5 is converted to $15.

ROFL and that's all.

Thanks for explaining. This just looks like laziness then.

I wouldn't call it laziness because that assumes a hidden potential. Instead, this looks like the job done by an underpaid dev, most likely a junior (meaning a rookie dev).

And this is a bit alarming considering they treat payments (a sensitive subject) with so little regard for countless aspects. And this is only what can be seen client side. I don't want to think about their server side management of the sensitive data.
