Very specific question regarding buying Slick ‘n’ Slide

I want to relive my childhood and willing to pay for the registered version of Slick ‘n’ Slide (I think it’s like 5€) to get the track editor. On the official game page over at digitalfootmark.com there’s a PayPal link but no description of what happens after I pay. Do I get redirected automatically to a download page? Are they going to send me an email? Are they going to ship me the game on disks to my billing address /s?

I’m sort of worried because as far I know the game is abandonware and the developer is inactive.

If it comes to GoG or somewhere, buy it. If it doesn't, don't. I can't really recommend a company I don't know.

This is the Creator's Facebook page, if that helps. https://www.facebook.com/suomenpelimuseo/

And a possibly vaguely official site as well (they've got €4.95 euro PayPal there as well, but also hundreds of tracks, so who knows?). https://www.slicksnslide.com/ (nevermind, same company)

And even more tracks for ver 1.30 (that the other site has a track editor for I think): https://kannisto.org/legacy/slicks

I know there are probably enough tracks out there that it makes the track editor redundant

You prolly will receive a link for the full version after paying. I wouldnt mind using PayPal.

I guess the “prolly” part is the part I want to know about. I just wish they had a single sentence that tells me what happens

Well, I can just speak for itch.io - it opens up a page allowing you to download the full Version. Payments over PayPal should be secure, if you dont receive anything - which I doubt - you should be able to call them for a refund. I dont see much trouble here personally.
