Restart Your Device
If you run into any issues while downloading, be sure to first restart your device. This may be required for your device to recognize AltStore and allow you to download. Once you do this, you can continue with the other below suggestions.
Apple ID region must be a country in the European Union

Problems with Apple Pay
There are some issues that may cause Apple Pay to fail, so we suggest making sure your payment has been processed correctly before trying to download AltStore PAL. If your payment continues to fail, we recommend providing a credit card directly or using another payment option.
Can't install with 3rd Party Browsers (Chrome, Arc, Brave, etc.)
Currently, Apple only permits installing marketplace apps from the Safari browser. If you've already subscribed using a 3rd party browser, you can copy + paste the URL of the download page to Safari and finish installing AltStore PAL from there.
Optionally you can start the process over again in Safari. Type in the same email address you used to check out before (or attempt to use Apple Pay again), and Stripe will automatically redirect you to the AltStore PAL download page — you do NOT need to re-subscribe.
Still Running into Issues?
If you've tried everything above and are still having issues installing AltStore PAL, please start the entire process over again from the homepage. Type in the same email address you used to check out before (or attempt to use Apple Pay again), and Stripe will automatically redirect you to the AltStore PAL download page — you do NOT need to re-subscribe.
