Activity Summary
Restricted for users in Syria, confirmed by community testing in April 2026. The main site loads normally, but attempting to purchase opens a Paddle checkout that returns error E-403; the restriction is on the payment processor's side, not the app itself. No outreach has been made yet.

Work at MacPaw? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside MacPaw can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
