One of the nice things about being exactly That Kind Of Open Source Nerd is every time something tries to sell me some tech product they are so desperately trying to convince me I both want and absolutely must have as a matter of utmost importance is I will then spend four hours finding a way to get precisely that but for free

Unknown parent • •@tiddy roosevelt @JenJen In the past for freelance stuff, I've just used GnuCash to generate invoices, submitted them, and had the clients mail cheques. This works okay-ish for corporate clients, but even still I quickly learned that there's a big difference between an invoice and a payment.
I've also used Interac e-Transfers, but those aren't a thing that exist outside of Canada, so probably not helpful.

Unknown parent • • •@me I am currently using CCBill and Elavon for my monthly studio subscriptions (patreon alternative), and WooCommerce for my regular shop and bulk buying of memberships.
I am also about to use Elavon's payment machine for my conventions this weekend and the next, so I'll find out if it works in place of Zettle/etc
I don't have Stripe so no BuyMeACoffee, and I've closed my KoFi because of their ToS. I'm also not using libera pay because of their ToS.
So at the moment I have no "tip jar"

I once worked for a major UK bank that decided it was cheaper to pay a payment processor than do PCI compliance themselves despite having all the legal, accounting and tech staff needed to do so.
So well done you for taking on something that can scare a major bank and getting it done! 🎉

As best we know we got kicked because the receiving bank couldn't confirm we were not selling nudity.
