How to buy applications from the Cydia Store - tutorial

I know that not everyone is interested in buying applications, but I have seen quite a few people who know what the process of buying applications from Cydia involves, so I will make a small tutorial for those who want to learn.

Step 1

Open Cydia and press the Sections button to see the section lists with all Cydia applications.

Step 2

For this tutorial, as an example, the Cyntact application will be installed, which you can find in the Tweaks section. Select it and you will notice in the upper right part that instead of having a button for Install, you have a light blue colored one that says Purchase, press it to continue.

Step 5

After logging into the account, you will be asked to connect your Gmail or Facebook account with Cydia to read the personal data that will be used when you buy the application, after which you will be asked to connect the phone making the request with the account in order to proceed with the purchase process. So select Link device to Your account.

Step 6

Now you will reach the payment page, Cydia uses Amazon and Paypal services to make payments, but for Paypal you are asked for a surcharge for processing the payment. For this example, I chose Amazon due to the fact that no extra fees are charged. At the same time, you have the option to pay the money and stay with the payment information logged on the Cydia servers or pay without logging your actions, you choose.

Step 7

Now you will reach the payment page of Amazon.com, where you will be asked to log in, if you do not have an account yet you must create one. After you have created/logged into your Amazon account, you will be taken to the payment processing page where you must enter your card details, then select continue.

Step 8

After the previous step you will be taken to the payment processing page where you will be asked to confirm that you want to make the payment to Saurik, to do this select Confirm.

Step 9

After confirming the payment, a screen will appear with the status "Pending", while Amazon tries to confirm the payment. The screen will refresh every 15 seconds until the payment is confirmed.

When the payment is confirmed, the status will change to " Success", press the Close button on the top right to continue.

Step 10

After pressing the close button, you will be brought back to the application screen, where you will go through the normal application installation process. Press the Install button on the top right, then on the next screen press Confirm, and after installing the application you will have to restart the phone or not, it depends on the application.

That was the tutorial, I hope it will help those who want to buy applications from Cydia.
