      Payment processor fees as in, for Liberapay itself? Or the payment method such as PayPal, Mastercard, Visa?

      IIRC, Liberapay uses PayPal (which is terrible and American) and Stripe (Irish-American).

      The latter got funding from Musk and Thiel. Thiel is the guy who stole one of the names from Tolkien’s works, for spyware.


      Liberapay is cautiously promising, but its payment processor options are iffy. If Liberapay were to allow Wero, I’d say that it’s the best alternative. Otherwise, skip the middle man directly and use Monero.

        It allows sepa transfers (no fees by law and instant), which Wero is a front for (but, like stripe and others, Wero will also entail processing fees for businesses).

        Liberapay which is held together by a few frenchmen is only funded through donations to it’s own liberapay crowdfunding account on its own platform.

        I think considering it all, it’s a very laudable project.

        It isn’t only stripe and PayPal this is listed in the faq “Donations to Liberapay can be paid using: a credit or debit card (American Express, Cartes Bancaires, Diners, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, UnionPay, and Visa), a euro bank account (SEPA Direct Debit), or a PayPal account.”
