BeeLine PDF Extension Update

TLDR: Google is discontinuing their payment processing for Chrome extensions, so we are creating a new account/payment system. Please sign up here so we can contact you regarding this transition and ensure it goes smoothly!

The Scoop

Ever since we launched this plugin five years, we have used the payment system that Google provides in the Chrome Web Store. We were recently informed that Google is discontinuing their payment service, effective February 2021.

The Challenge

This leave us with very little time to create an entirely new payment processing system, and to communicate these changes to you, our customers.

Further complicating matters, we have been provided with little information about the technical changes that will be required for this transition off of Google’s payment system, so we are scrambling to complete this task.

Most importantly, Google has not provided us with the email addresses or any other contact information of our customers, so we can’t even email you to tell you about these changes.

In order to ensure continuity of your account, it would be helpful if you could provide us your email address via this form. If we do not have your email address, we may not be able to reach you and let you know how to keep using BeeLine for PDFs. You can also use the form to ask any questions you may have.

We hope to have our new version up and running by the February changeover, and we will do everything we can to make things smooth for you (and we’ll have a special discount code for you as well!).

We will provide further details as soon as they are available. In the meantime, feel free to contact us through the above form if you have any questions, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
