So, just wondering: what is a decent European alternative for payment handling like #Stripe? (It must support both single payments and monthly subscriptions.)

I've been out of the loop and I am sure there are people with experience here.

Preferably one with a matured API (and a Python library would be a nice bonus).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I legitimately do not understand how other people deal with #Stripe I had to explain to them 5 times now that,

1. I am a writer.

2. I publish things on my blog, some premium, but most, open access.

3. I publish exclusive newsletters via email where people get charged when I send an email, #Patreon style.

And every single time, they can't figure me out or what I do. I guess my stuff has to be behind a hard paywall for them to get it? Trouble is, places like Liberapay and Comradery use them so I can't just throw up my hands and say, whatever.

These are their requests, in order.

1. Could you explain the nature of your business? Your blog isn't behind a pay wall.

2. Could you explain accessibility consulting? This isn't in our recognized list of services provided.

3. Could you explain your charity status?

I never claimed to be a charity so this last one baffles me.

and finally, the one I am on now,

Could you explain more about your writing?

I really do wanna scream. How hard is it to comprehend my accessibility tutorials? Ugh!

I want to avoid using #Stripe

- It's US-based, and I'm a political target
- Stripe is hosting Zuck as a keynote speaker
- They're getting cozy with AI

I want suggestions/insight on anything

Current frontrunner, can anyone tell me thoughts about #Helcim as a company/recurring payment processor? I'm considering them because:

- Based in Canada
- Messaging about putting people first, which I generally don't trust with any company, but given that I live in the US, the fact that it's not visibly white supremacy makes a difference
- I wish that was a joke
- User experience seems smooth on both sides of the transaction.
- International payments
- Don't need a US address

@Ciela @thelusciouslibra I can recommend @monocles tho you should never ever rely on any #eMail hoster, but use #PGP which is easier than ever thanks to @thunderbird on #Desktop and #Android!

Also #monocles does have a cool #eMail client and don't demand extra for #IMAP & #SMTP as well as offering #PayPal, #Stripe, #SEPA #WireTransfer, #CashByMail and #Monero for payment, and they cost as little as €2 p.m.

This #Make automation triggers whenever a #Stripe invoice is paid.

The paid invoice contains the corresponding #ClickUp task ID related to the deal as metadata.

With this information, the automation retrieves details from the task, downloads the Stripe invoice, and uploads it in the corresponding G-Drive client folder.

Finally, the deal status is updated to "DEAL WON", and a new automation, which will manage the new project, is triggered through a webhook!

Ahhh yes, I know the world is 'normal' again because I'm once again on the phone to Santander to have them use the DD Indemnity to reverse some fraudulent Direct Debits.

Seems Stripe remain utterly incapable of figuring out that if the last ridiculous number of DDs setup against the account was not us, nor will future ones and perhaps the anti-fraud system could, uh, not let any DDs be setup against those details because THEY WILL NOT BE US.

I just wrote my angry post about Google Play, and then went to Stripe and saw this. Have they all gone crazy today? It seemed like with digitalization we would have less bureaucracy. Turns out it's the opposite! #GooglePlay #Stripe #bureaucracy #digitalization

#Fintech unicorn Stripe just acquired (deal is now done) startup Bridge, a provider of infrastructure for crypto stablecoins for $1.1B.

Bridge, co-founded by Coinbase alumni Zach Abrams and Sean Yu, has built an API that helps companies accept stablecoins.

Happy 2nd anniversary to this tweet about Cloudflare booting Kiwi Farms.

Stripe HR investigated me for potential employee social media misconduct because an executive thought I was posting about Stripe willfully working with anti-trans, white supremacy, and antisemitic groups.

J'ai modifié mon blogue francophone pour que les gens puissent s'abonner directement.

Il n'y a pas encore de contenu premium, mais ça va venir.

La page des abonnements est ici:

https://www.votreviedautiste.com/membership-join/

I've modified my WordPress instance so that my premium content will be hosted there in the future. I have only one premium article there right now, but I plan to migrate more from Ko-Fi.

Of course, the non-premium content is always available there.

*I'm no longer using Ko-Fi for new subscriptions.*

Everything as far as subscribing, donating, buying a login on my Mastodon instance is now on my blog. It talks directly to Stripe without having to go through Ko-Fi.

I haven't moved my French-language blog yet, but it should soon follow.

This page has the membership options:
