Why do I need to buy a coin that is backed by gold and then transfer that to Kratora? All I want to do is pay by credit card.

Due to credit card processor rules, kratom vendors cannot process Kratom directly. We are a restricted product in the eyes of Visa and Mastercard. While we are working very hard to change the minds of the credit card companies it is falling on deaf ears for the moment. So in the meantime we use a service called PMC Coin to be able to accept credit card orders for these purchases. By introducing a 3rd party where you are not technically buying Kratom with your credit card, we are able to offer you the convenience of using your card. While the process is more complex between Kratora and PMC, the process is completely transparent to you. With no added costs and all the protection that your credit card offers. The only difference is two more clicks at the checkout.
