How do you feel about Boosty?
3 years ago
Hello! As you've might heard, earlier in November the only payout service that was still work - Payoneer - will stop it's operations in Russia starting December 16th. Not gonna lie, this news have caught me off guard, because they were dedicated to keep operations "until the end", but it seems that the aforementioned "end" have come (at least they've warned their users in advance, unlike PayPal, and for that I'm grateful). That means Russian artists that were using Patreon won't have any means of getting money out of it.
So, until I'll figure out how to open a bank account in another country, I wanted to use Boosty for Commissions, YCHs, and general Patreon activities, but I was wondering how do you feel about this service?
I will keep Patreon runnung in December, but I'd like to ask you NOT to subscribe after December 7th!
Thank you!

Thank you!
But I'm glad to hear that you have used it and it was reliable for you! <3
But now I'm fully good with the site, and thank goodness this is a site made by Russia itself.
It still depresses me about the fact that you Russian citizens are forced to face the consequences for what your country's government is purely responsible for.
Once set up, everything went through rather easily and with no problems.
I don't know how easy it was for the artists receiving the payments, but I know they did get the money, so it must have worked.
When someone creates a Boosty account to send money to you, if they try to simply add a foreign (outside of Russia) Bank Card to their account, it won't let them.
In order to add a foreign Bank Card, the User must actually initiate a Payment.
Then, when going to make that payment, Boosty will allow the User to decide how they wish to pay (either Paypal if available, or a Visa Bank Card).
I had originally run into this problem where I was trying to add a Bank Card to my account, but it wouldn't let me, causing me to incorrectly believe that there was a problem with Boosty. But once selecting the Donate option, it all worked perfectly fine.
