A bit of context for the ongoing payment option poll:

We're very aware that from the public perspective, having direct credit/debit card payment would be the most convenient for many people.

However, it is extremely difficult to handle that in a fashion which works for the entire world. Card processing is not a one-size-fits-all scenario unfortunately. As it currently stands, direct card payment would be undue stress and workload on our sales team.

Suggestions on this subject are welcome.

@PINE64 Stripe or Square aren't solid options?

IIRC they have some pretty broad ability for payment processing. And feeds that are in line with PayPal last I checked.

You could also look into AliPay too though that's probably no better than PayPal.

@kemonine @PINE64 unfortunately neither has the global scope needed, and are otherwise not enough of a differentiator to use over PayPal.

@keverets @PINE64

That is quite unfortunate.

Itd be nice if there was a global processor but then again with all the different rules/regs/laws... that may be a tricky situation.

Are there processors for the 'major regions' that you can use as a collective group to get broader coverage or is that outside the scope / not an option?

@kemonine @keverets That would certainly be an option technically, but that gets into the aforementioned "undue stress and workload for the sales team".

@PINE64 @keverets

yeah, the knee in the curve is going to be a PITA to sort I imagine
