Payment process
The payment process can be done either with a PayPal account or a PDF invoice. Whether you are a private or a corporate customer, you can pay online using your PayPal account. Another option is to contact sales@prosysopc.com, and we will then provide you with a PDF invoice, which you can pay via international bank transfer. Please note, for corporate customers with an EU VAT number, PayPal does not support VAT free payments. Therefore, if you don’t want to pay VAT, the only option is using a PDF invoice. This policy is introduced because generally, EU customers are subject to 24% VAT.
Another exception is university students and educational institutions’ attendees. Please send us your information and certificate of attendance to sales@prosysopc.com in order to receive a 50% discount. After confirmation, we will provide you with a PDF invoice and login credentials.
