I only have a debit card from TrueMoney Wallet, so both Link and the Railway billing system don’t accept my card. What can I do?

Unfortunately the only way to pay really is with a credit card (or a debit card that gets acknowledged as a credit card, such as a visa card)

no alternatives...
Can I pay with crypto or another payment method? Because I really need to use Railway but I cant pay to upgrade the plan TT

unfortunately Railway only accepts credit/debit cards, so crypto payments won't work either
Do you have a payment system that supports Stripe? cuz Stripe works with my card

yea, Railway does use Stripe, but Railway's Stripe is configured to decline prepaid cards (or anything that isn't a debit/credit card)

of course, just be careful to not get flagged for card testing

Link is a Stripe feature, it allows you to save your card so checkout is faster

Yea Railway doesn't support prepaid cards
Alr then if I purchase Visa Giftcard and send it to you so could you redeem the code and then add credit in website to me ?
If I may, @x2Swiftz you guys could try using Privacy.com, they can take in a bank account or card and you can generate merchant-specific cards, I use it for security reasons, however it may work for your use case

To be clear, I don't work for Railway, I'm just a moderator for the server and forums. That might've been possible but there's 2 reasons why that won't work now:
- I don't think Railway supports sending credits to others anymore, you could've given me the card and I could've sent you the equivelant in credits (althouh I also don't know what the rules are regarding exchanging credits for cash so I'd still have asked to make sure)
- and first time purchase can't be done via credits so even if credit transfers were still possible, you wouldn't be able to use it to buy your plan (subsequent payments can be made via credits though)
Unfortunately, there isn't a way around this
