We're investigating European-based Patreon alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? We're looking at Steady but it appears that they process their payments through Paypal which kinda defeats the point of trying to use a European platform...

@europeanspodcast ko-fi? liberpay?

[brekke@eupolicy.social]

@europeanspodcast I only have experience with @Liberapay as a giver and not as a receiver, but it is by far my preferred platform for recurring donations. I have never heard any complaints from those on the receiving end either.

@brekke Liberapay has the same issue as Steady though as the only payment options are US companies, Stripe (partly owned by Elon Musk and Peter Thiel) and Paypal.

It's a shame there's not a simple SEPA payment option as it looks really good otherwise.

@europeanspodcast@mastodon.social liberapay? iirc SEPA transfers/direct debit are supported even though they use stripe for credit cards

@brekke @europeanspodcast @Liberapay @Pepijn new payment option in the works it seems: https://mastodon.xyz/@Liberapay/116007440662849755

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@roy That's good! I will probably use it then as I refuse to ever use Stripe or Paypal.

@europeanspodcast If you just want to get payments then Mollie or Stancer are EU alternatives, but they are just payment providers, they won't give a news feed or other features like Patreon does.

@europeanspodcast I support a fitness channel via Steady and all my payments are processed via SEPA, so at least that should work.

@europeanspodcast closest thing would be LiberaPay but AFAIK it's based on very different principles, as it's designed primarily for donations to FLOSS projects/developers.
