Shame that all those business models require US centric payment processors to actually get paid.
I’m not in the US and my choices for actually getting money into my bank account are PayPal or Stripe, neither of which have policies that permit the distribution of electronic data or alternatively donations without being a registered charity.
Neither has dispute resolution procedures that go beyond “you broke the rules and we’re keeping your money”, and “sorry, that was a fraudulent card and we’re taking the money back, plus a fee, and the fraudster keeps the goods”, and finally “our word is final and we’re now closing your account without disclosing why”.
So, yeah, good luck with that.
Source: I’ve spent months looking for alternatives and as far as I can tell, they just don’t exist.
