Unless it’s a bigger hassle than I expect I should be able to do it myself, if I’m gonna do it makes sense I should learn how it works and keep control over it. It looks like they take 8% if you have tiers (which everyone has) and 5% if you don’t, and then payment charges, which are 5%+ for small payments and 3% for large ones, so we lose 11% doing this, which pains me. Is this the best we can do?
why not just use a ko-fi or paypal.me link? both claim that they take 0% in fees, and ko-fi even has a recurring payment option if that feature is important to you.
You (or someone) could use a payment processor with a subscription feature, e.g. Stripe, and lose only 2.9+%.
Maybe the easiest/cheapest option would be to just create a new email address and accept direct payments via Zelle/Venmo/PayPal/etc., but some of those don’t support recurring payments.
Aaron gave me the details on how best to pay you but it’s not info I’d publicize without your explicit consent.
I’d like to pay you, others seem to want to do the same thing, but I don’t want to create extra work for you for this.
Would you mind someone setting up a Patreon on your behalf and then paying you any money collected via it (i.e. via the method Aaron shared)?
