Which pay option has the least fees or admin costs? Want you to get all of what i send.
One can presume the preferred option is their preference.
But the preferred option makes little sense for Europeans in the SEPA region. SEPA transfers have no fees attached by law.
SEPA is best for the European users. Ko-fi takes 0% on one-time donations and 5% on montlies. Liberapay takes 0%.
My understanding is Ko-Fi which is why it’s preferred. As others pointed out, payment processors take out some fees for card usage, and my understanding is that Ko-Fi takes the least. That said, we have options because most of them aren’t too bad, and all donations help :)
Probably Liberapay. They don’t take any fees because they’re also funded via donations. The only fees that occur on there are the payment processors (banks, credit card companies, PayPal, etc), and you have to deal with those fees no matter what
