If you are paying for a premium membership, then yes--the only option is to pay through PayPal.

PayPal manages all of the StoryToolz Monthly Premium Subscriptions. It provides a safe and reliable method to handle payments each month automatically.

Unfortunately, merchants that make use of PayPal's services sometimes have an air of "amateurishness", but I have found their services professional and reliable.

Because BitPeg Software, Inc. is a one-man operation (only three people attended the last annual meeting: me, myself, and I) I don't want the headache or responsibiliy of storing credit cards on an encrypted server separate from the web server. For a fairly reasonable fee, PayPal handles this for me.
