2. Select Laravel Idea and click the purchase link, as shown in Figure 2.
3. Select “For individual use: Personal” instead of “For organizations: Organization”. For the subscription options—30-Day Trial, Monthly Subscription, and Yearly Subscription—choose Yearly Subscription, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Prompt: “eStore Identification. We can’t proceed with a purchase of Laravel Idea, please check available options in your JetBrains Account. Go to your JetBrains Account to view all your licenses.” This means we cannot proceed with the purchase of Laravel Idea; please check the available options in your JetBrains Account. Go to your JetBrains Account to view all your licenses, as shown in Figure 4.
5. I was redirected to the JetBrains Account page, probably because my 30-day trial has not expired yet. Today is the 24th, and it does not expire until the 29th. Click “Switch to Laravel Idea”, as shown in Figure 5.
6. Proceed to the checkout page. I have read and agree to the JetBrains purchase terms, as shown in Figure 6.
7. Proceed to the “Pay with the WeChat app” payment page, as shown in Figure 7.
8. Open WeChat and scan the QR code. The system will automatically convert USD to CNY; $39 converts to 247.17 CNY. The market exchange rate is 1 USD = 6.34740 CNY, and the discounted rate is 1 USD = 6.33788 CNY. 6.33788 * 39 = 247.17732. The value is truncated directly rather than rounded, as shown in Figure 8.
9. Your order has been successfully placed, as shown in Figure 9.
10. After restarting PhpStorm, the Laravel Idea plugin prompts: “The license will expire in 5 days.” This should be the expiration date of the 30-day trial, as shown in Figure 10.
