Why don't you mention those 5 options instead of making stories and treat people as if they shouldn't ask the Community anything. If you are there to help then help or at least try to help. And by the way, I only asked if it was possible to make it optional. I still don't understand why a cell phone should be mandatory. Why not make a car mandatory? ... View more

The Card Payment form makes the payer's cell phone number mandatory. Not everyone has a cell phone. So is it possible to make this requirement optional? ... View more
