Support payments through Paypal? #16

Open hrj opened 3 years ago

A friend of mine from India wanted to make a donation via Paypal, but the only option they see is Credit Card. Credit cards are rarely used directly for online transactions in India. If cards are used at all, it is usually through Paypal and the likes.

Do you plan to support Paypal?

@hrj Thank you for the heads up regarding the necessity for Paypal. It is definitely on our roadmap, though we are still determining what features we can fit in over the 2 week round and what to prioritize. If not for Round 1, we will make it a priority to release by Round 2.

I am not particularly pro-any particular company (including Paypal) but I know that there are people who are reluctant to give their credit card number to sites they use for the first time, whilst Paypal already has had it for years. And since Paypal is widely used for donating to FLOSS, I think this should be high priority because I know for sure that someone has not participated to this funding round because of it.

Wire transfers would also be nice. This way, you still use a bank account but you don't have to give your credit card number, the payment is processed via the bank so there are no security issues with it.

I'd also like to contribute via my PayPal and why do you require me to sign in via my social. That is a hard HELL NO from here (not just for you).
