Mac App Store Prevents Accidental Purchases with an Order Confirmation
Feb 8, 2011 - 3 Comments
The Mac App Store now has an order and buy confirmation, which should prevent many accidental purchases from occurring.
This is a nice addition and undoubtedly helps to eliminate refund requests, and maybe it’ll even make some people think twice before inadvertently buying an app twice.
I imagine it’s only a matter of time before someone is able to disable the order confirmation via a defaults write command, if not becoming it’s own preference option entirely. Hat tip to MacStories for noticing this one.
Thank god it was a free app that I accidentally clicked on. But yes, its good to know this feature is now here.
It’s a work in progress and perhaps the simply didn’t anticipate it will present an issue.
kind of surprised they didn’t have this from the get-go
