Ugh, yes this is the issue. The default for LandingCheck right now went to
Donate and so for payment processing chapters it got an error when it
didn't find a page for that country (Donate/GB, Donate/FR etc for DE and CH
as well). I've created chapter redirect pages to allow it to work for now.

Thanks for the email, this was set up in anticipation of some changes on
the backend to allow the same link to work for our new WMF pages AND
chapter pages (right now the links only work with WMF pages from last year
and pages like Donate actually only went to the WMF) but the rest of the
changes aren't in place yet and I, falsely, believed this would default to
the old status quo while we waited (it did so for every country but the
fundraising chapters).
