hello
i make this text with google translate. sorry for any translation errors.
i contribute to ardour with a payment of 1 dollar per month for 2 years. i am very happy. But…
i just learned that the paypal company is one of these companies with a fascist ideology so i would like to switch from a paypal payment to a monthly bank deposit directly by my credit card.
is it easy? and how to do it?
thank you
Unfortunately no. The canonical answer is https://ardour.org/faq.html#paypal
Compared to paypal’s micropayments credit card fees are incredibly high. Ths is particularly true for small amounts like $1 (thank you for you contributions over the years, those are very appreciated!) Credit cards are suitable for larger transactions.
If you can find some service that has an API for transactions, supports subscriptions, changes less than 7cent per transaction for micropayments, has no yearly fee, does not required a credit card, but has the option to use one, and supports pretty much every country around the world, please let us now.

And to quote an older post of mine Paypal - are there other choices? - #37 by x42
I do not understand how people get upset at Paypal but have no issues with having a bank account at ING, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Commerzbank, ABN AMRO; not to mention your credit card provider.
You can literally just type “ scandal” into a web search engine…
and most search results do not even include the bailouts during the 2008 crisis.
I do not want to defend Paypal, but simply point out even the alternatives are just more of the same.

thank you for your quick response.
i am french and i am a customer of a small french bank for which i could also make criticisms.
but paypal is run by a libertarian ideologue pro trump and yes: it bothers me. and if i have the choice to change i do not hesitate.
unfortunately i do not have any gold bars, living on minimum income. the payment of 1 dollar per month allows me to contribute lightly and is very good for me. I dig holes to find treasures but I haven’t found anything so far
i will see if i have other means of payment, otherwise i will stay on paypal…
thanks.
Maybe the Ardour GitHub organization could become part of the GitHub Sponsors program and offer that as an alternative to users to make donations?
For small amounts the share they take is around 10%, I believe. And afaik there’s no administrative work involved for the receiver, as long as you make it clear, that the sponsorship options do not grant the donor anything other than “sponsor” status.
Not sure what the payment options are, though. For me it shows credit card as the only option.
