Best payment method for selling digital stuff ? (avoiding paypal)

[Andisloo]

Stripe should be your best alternative because that is what customers trust the most after PayPal.

But you can use other payment processors, just search for "PayPal Alternatives" on Google and look at the options available in your country.

Hello, I want to know how you advertise your digital products

Hello there,
I have created some whitehat digital stuff i'm gonna sell via discord and i was looking for a good payment method to evade being refunded and also not limited when i want to withdraw.
The thing is, i have no official working statut for now (i'm waiting to see how it will goes) so i don't want to be asked to send some papers after i hit a certain "limit" at least for the first month. I can verify my identity and stuff without any problem tho.

Since i'm selling stuff for 250/300$ it can reach 5/10k quicly and i don't know what i should go with for the payment method.

Paypal is of course not a choice at all.
I thought about btc, but honestly, i think it will make me a lost a ton of client, since most of people don't trust them and have to take 5min to create a account on a random website.

Anyway, any BTC site or other method you will recommend ?

thanks

A lot depends on what you are selling and where you're from.

If you sell subscription, course, ebook, or license, go use Paddle. They require no documents. Pretty easy-peasy.

But if you sell a service (something you have to deliver manually to customers eg logo designed for customers that requires manual deliver by email), stay away from Paddle.

As per my experience, buyers are no longer skeptical about paying with crypto. However, I do empathize with those who feel otherwise.
Nonetheless, if you are selling non-physical, digital, virtual products or services, avoid accepting Paypal (unless you want to do free charity).

If you don't mind paying a hefty 10% fee + 7-10 days withdrawal period, then I have the PERFECT solution for you. I have used it before and am still using it for some of my products although 7-10 days waiting time can be annoying... Nothing shady...

Why not share it direct in this thread?? Seems shady, or you are selling something without being an upgraded member.

You cannot refuse to have refunds and also want all the whole customers available to you. That is like eating your cake and having it.
If you are willing to lose some customers, then use btc/crypto and If you are willing to accept refunds based on tangible reasons, you can use stripe with refund policy.

Why must it ALWAYS be something shady or that someone has an intention to sell something? No intention of selling anything here and if you think it's shady, then it's your call... This reply from you just reinforces my decision not to share this publicly and also the fact that you miss out on something you don't know...

You were never going to share this in the thread anyway, if you wanted to do that, you would have shared it direct like everyone else does in this community.

Not worth sharing publicly as everyone will start abusing it ... Too bad you spoilt it for everyone else... Anyway... it's ok... let it go...

Try fastspring or Paddle. I think 2checkout is becoming too strict with merchants.

Get buyer trust , then get him an good work , btc would be the best option , Stay honest and do working !

 

[daigovo]

i prefer to use Stripe, it's very public with good support and small fee

I'm selling advice/method on a game for improving their experience/gameplay.
What i'm selling is a video showing them how to do it. Nothing more. I don't know if paddle would be good for that, it's a bit specific.

If it means that you're gonna upload the video(s) to paddle like you sell a course, then I think that would fit into Paddle. So essentially, for people to get access to your videos, they have to first pay via Paddle? This also means that you may have to hyperlink a product page of your video(s) at the end or middle or whatever part of your blog post of pages. If your answer to this question is yes, then I think you are good. They even have a Wordpress plugin you may want to install if your site is hosted on WordPress: https://paddle.com/support/does-paddle-integrate-with-wordpress/

You can ask for BTC payment only when you are somewhat a reputable seller. This means you have to have some vouches.

For example, in the blackhat world, some sellers take payment only after the service is delivered. And trust me, no one messes with them.

Pretty much every seller on BHW accepts paypal. Would you say they're doing charity?

 

[Drake89]

If you don't refunds then you should use paypal but sell a digital product, last i check paypal does not refund on digital items.

 

[Syrum]

Try out Payeer or Perfect money they work fine, unless your from the US.

Crypto will be great option for you, but if you can't go with crypto then go with stripe
