PayPal: No payment possible with Kickstarter
- Kickstarter only supports payment by credit card. You can pay by Visa, MasterCard and American Express. PayPal and other services are not available.
- In some cases, projects can also be supported externally via PayPal. You will find the appropriate link in the description of the project. However, since PayPal charges quite high fees, the use of PayPal is usually not worth it.

- The fastest way to get a credit card for free is to apply for a virtual credit card. There are several services that make this possible. You will then usually only receive your credit card number.
- Alternatively, you can use a prepaid credit card. The card can be conveniently topped up by bank transfer and cannot be overdrawn. Many providers charge little to no fees.
