New payment methods available: PayPal, WeChat Pay, Revolut Pay, AliPay & more

I had some requests to add additional payment methods, as some people do not have access to a credit card.

If you’d like to become a Patron, you can now do so using PayPal and Revolut Pay all within the same payment system as before! :tada:

I am also accepting one-off payments in a place called a “Tip Jar”, in case you don’t feel like signing up for a recurring subscription but wanted to help with the running costs of the site.

For our Chinese members, Alipay support is pending, just waiting for their confirmation (that should apply to the subscriptions) is live for tip jar and subscriptions, WeChat Pay support available for the Tip Jar only (does not support recurring transactions).

The site & forum is completely funded by donations - currently I’m still paying out more than I’m getting in each month. I’d like to try and break even at least :upside_down_face: so if there is anything stopping you from becoming a Patron - either technically, or a feature you would like to pay for isn’t ready yet - please do let me know!

This is amazing! Just tried the Tip Jar. It doesn’t support scanning QR code stored in the phone tho. No idea why. Probably a WeChat thing or a Stripe thing.

Thanks! No idea why it doesn’t support that, there isn’t really anything I can do as it’s all hosted by Stripe.

Doesn’t matter much tho. I can always scan the QR code on my laptop :smiley:
