Qobuz Sublime purchases?

@HungryHalibut Is there a ‘buy it now’ option within Qobuz Sublime; ie if you’re listening to something you decide you like enough to want to buy, can you just hit the ‘buy it now’ button or are purchases always a separate process through the Qobuz Store pages?

Thanks,

ATB, J

As only HH can respond, I won’t then. :grin::chicken:

You must buy them using the download store, paying by card or PayPal. Note that there is a small charge for the latter.

Thx HH.

Should work with the Qobuz desktop app, though that may not the question.

Not relevant to the thread but I just got that album and I was shocked to see one of my favourite video game tracks on there :joy: not often two of my interests cross like that.

I would not feel comfortable to do it like that. But an easy one is to make it a favorite and go to your computer and click through and buy.

Which one? A FF VII track? Thought it might be this but alas no, the Lang Lang album was only an example I didn’t even play it.

From the desktop app? I’ve used that a few times and it works fine, especially when you have a coins balance.

Used to use PayPal but as HH mentioned the extra charge came in for that so I no longer use that to pay.

I am a bit confused you talk about PayPal having an additional charge…. Wasn’t aware and haven’t seen it…, can you please explain… I by the way use direct credit card mostly…

Maybe 12 months or longer PayPal introduced some kind of handling charge which Qobuz had to pass on to the customer to retain their margins - PayPal’s loss so I switched to credit card or Qobuz coins,

Visa would be £10.39, Paypal payment would add surcharges.

I don’t think the handling change was new so much as being higher than other (card) payments so Qobuz suddenly decided to pass it on. I’m not even sure if that’s even legal, but they seem to have got away with it.

It’s annoying, but not as annoying as signing up to a Qobuz (or Tidal) subscription via the Apple app store and finding that they are charging a significantly higher rate than you’d pay if you did it on Tidal’s website.

Good points - they might be better not offering PayPal but at least the extra is transparent at the checkout though as you mention the legality of charging extra for a particular payment is open to question.
