The code stuff is technically for TCG Live and isn't applicable to TCG Pocket. As far as to why Live doesn't have in-app purchases it's in part due to TPCi experimenting with in-app currencies back when Online was a thing and said experiment never launching outside of Canada due to the horrendous pricing (the price of a single pack in Gems was equivalent to an IRL pack's MSRP at the time). That said there's also some funkiness with the game on Apple's end due to their shitty rules: you can redeem packs via their QR code on the MacOS version of the app but not on the iOS version.I find that really weird. There's literally no way to make purchases in TCG outside of buying physical card packs for codes. Something feels really off about that.
The PayPal thing is for Pocket due to making an NZ Google Play/Apple account in order to download the game without app sideloading, last time I checked you can't use non-NZ credit cards due to billing address-related fuckery. I've heard you can use NZ iTunes/Google Play gift cards but I'm not 100% sure that's true.
