#payment information

[bopinion]

I feel like I'm getting screwed...

...when I read on the display board for 11 minutes that my train will arrive in 1 minute.

...when a parcel service writes me that they unfortunately didn't meet me today, even though I was at home all day.

... "Has my e-mail not arrived yet?" - "No." - "And now?" - "No." - "Still not?" - "No." - "You sure?" - "Yes." - "Oh, it's still in the exit..."

...when the movie theater's reservation portal changes from "68 seats still available" to "sold out" in the 30 seconds it takes me to enter my payment information.

...when the waitress in the restaurant after five times "Be right with you..." suddenly remembers "This is not my table".

... "Thank you for your order." - "Your order will be ready for shipment shortly." - "Your order is ready for shipment, enclosed you receive your invoice." - "Your order will arrive in two to five business days." - "Your order will be slightly delayed." - "The status of your order cannot be confirmed." - "Unfortunately, your order is currently out of stock." - "Thank you for your purchase!"

...when the train gate has been closed for more than 4 minutes and still no train has passed.

...when the process bar on a software reaches 99% in no time - and then gets stuck there for at least ten minutes.

...when the next available member of the service team is already looking forward to taking care of my matter for almost an hour of recorded music.

...when it always happens at my supermarket checkout that someone forgets the PIN code. Or the cashier doesn't know how to change the paper receipt roll. Or the woman in front notices in the last second that she forgot something, but it won't be long. Or the change runs out. Or a yogurt cup bursts on the conveyor belt. Or the man in front realizes that his wallet is still in the car. Or the cancellation code is unknown. Or...

does anyone have experience using ko-fi as an artist who's Not regularly posting stuff with it, just as a tip jar and/or way to manage comissions?

i've been thinking about offering them again, but the organisational overhead is… a stumbling block.

Bad news, got back from the vet and my beautiful baby son is going to have to be put down soon, probably tomorrow or the next day, so send him best of wishes for his next few days~ Luckily, he's actually not in a lot of pain (for now, hopefully he won't be) and is acting pretty normal, so I'm hoping he won't suffer at all and everything will be peaceful for him.

Have to get ANOTHER debit card cuz of an unauthorized transaction. Like three months ago I lost my entire wallet and had to replace everything and now I have to replace my card AGAIN. I've never in my life lost my wallet or gotten my card breached and now I've had both happen in the span of a few months

Gee I sure wish the billing portal my dermatologist uses would tell me if I paid my balance.

three of my ocs are seekers who considered themselves siblings and the war started and one of them joined the decepticons and one joined the autobots and the last one stayed neutral to avoid fighting either one of them. i know there are no seekers in the bots but this is my mind palace ok. and the one that stayed "neutral" (equally hates both sides) is named meridian who is a mnemosurgeon for hire and a really well kept secret from the majority of either army. the con sibling is named spoiler and she is a huge hater and blames the bots for tearing her family apart. and stormrunner is the bot sibling whose eye was shot out by spoiler but she refuses to get it fixed to remind herself what the war has cost her. and now the war is over and theyre like Are we still siblings. Can things ever be the same. Look at my eye spoiler. and then they get combinered with 3 others wnd it goes wither uphill or downhill from there. i hope this helps.

hi if this isn’t something you prefer answering you can ignore my ask!

so i wanted to know how much stripe reveals your info to people who pay you? through ko fi and all that. what i mean is when someone gives the creator money through ko fi using paypal their name (legal name) is revealed on invoice so does that happen with stripe as well?

i’ve heard with stripe, creators can hide their legal name and use another which shows up on invoices but im unsure if it’s true

hi! I actually had this same concern and did a lot of poking around for how different platforms handle this while setting up my commissions so I will attempt to answer! disclaimer I am just a guy who is bad with technology so there is a chance I am wrong about things ok here’s a readmore attempt click to get Snek’s business knowledge

this is actually the main reason I rly like stripe, you can customize pretty much everything clients will see including how much information about yourself you want to give away- I literally only have 3amsnek as my name in there, it’s just my business name (the Public Details section of settings lets you mess with this as much as you like, it’s under the Business Settings category)

it gives my country & state on some invoices but no further details (I can’t remember if state is mandatory or I clicked on the wrong button somewhere setting it up but I can’t disable it so keep that in mind) (I can change it along with everything else in my info though)

you do need to give Stripe all of your information for legal and payment purposes which can be kinda intimidating to set up but within my account I can customize what name will show up everywhere it shows up, put a different email than the one I signed up with as a customer support email to go at the bottom of receipts, decide specifically how much of my location is shown- idk if this is super clear bc I’m not at all experienced in Business Advice but by my memory/experience it doesn’t even ask for a Firstname Lastname name anywhere that’ll be shown to customers

for the record I’ve never actually used paypal bc my account got nuked within a day of making it and they have simply refused to fix it so I don’t have a direct comparison from personal experience but from my various hours of research trying to put comms together it seemed like paypal will always give everyone involved in the transaction a stupid amount of information about each other and there rly isn’t much to do about it/things can’t be changed ever or at least without huge difficulty and my experience with Stripe has been not that at All,,, it’s been very nice tbh I even found a whole invoices feature that allows international bank transfers as a payment method making a workaround for people who only have paypal & no card

if this is still confusing you can dm me and I’ll send you a picture of my checkout page/invoice/email receipt templates, it rly only shows my profile picture for stripe which I selected and can change (for me it’s the same dragon I use for my ko-fi header) and my business name in big letters at the top to say who you’re paying and then it’s the checkout/payment setup for the client (looks like any other online shopping checkout thing rly) - I haven’t been able to Confirm confirm that this all shows up properly on receipts as I don’t rly have a way to run a test with it with actual payment but it shows you what all the graphics are set to show up as in your account (under Branding in settings, same Business Settings box as Public Details is in) and you can change all of it any time (I do think you can also send blank test receipts to yourself)

hopefully this helps clarify things? at this point of using it for a couple months I would say I’d recommend Stripe- I’ve been rly pleased with it so far, especially with this specific topic :]
