Description

The Donate page on the VERT website is currently broken due to a CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open https://vert.sh/about/
2. Scroll to the Donate to VERT section.
3. Click Donate $10.00 USD.

Expected Behavior

The donation page should open successfully or create a billing session so the user can complete the payment.

Actual Behavior

The request fails, and no donation flow starts.

Browser Console shows:

Access to fetch at 'https://donations.vert.sh/billing'
from origin 'https://vert.sh'
has been blocked by CORS policy:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Additional errors:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch

Possible Cause

The endpoint

https://donations.vert.sh/billing

does not return the required CORS headers, causing browsers to block the request.

It appears that either:

• Access-Control-Allow-Origin is missing.
• The server is not responding correctly to the preflight (OPTIONS) request.
• The reverse proxy/CDN configuration is not forwarding the required CORS headers.

Suggested Fix

Ensure the donation API returns appropriate CORS headers, for example:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://vert.sh
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type

Also ensure the endpoint correctly handles OPTIONS preflight requests.

Environment

• Browser: Brave (Chromium)
• Platform: Windows 11
• Reproducible: Yes (100%)
• URL: https://vert.sh/about/
