Question about Boosty (for creators)
2 years ago
Hello everyone again! it's about my problem with paypal again, so, I didn't tested the other payment methods with clients yet but some of them also recommended me to use Boosty, and I'd like to know some things about people who use it, specially for creators
So, I've seen people using it because of paypal being banned in some countries, so boosty was a big help for them and that's good! <3
First question, I'm Brazilian, is it okay for me to use it or not?
I would just use it as a payment method as I got my paypal banned (they discovered that I was posting lewd in Patreon...)
but if it's okay to me to use it even being a Brazilian, I would like to know something about the withdrawal methods for creators, I saw that we have these options https://paste.pics/ce3ef6b3d1bc9ea1.....438b8b42df9f86 bank cards, qiwi, yoomoney, vkpay and paypal, okay, I noticed that VK, Yoo and QIWI are for russians only (apparently) and I can't use paypal, but I'm a bit confused about bank cards, how does it work? I have a brazilian bank (Nubank) with a international card, but my bank doesn't receive direct USD, it would need to be conveted to BRL first so I think that it may not work?...
but I also have Wise and I can create a Card with it and I can receive USD through Wise, does anyone knows if it would work? or I would need to have a real U.S bank and card?
Even if it doesn't work, I'll stick with Wise/bank transfer then ^^ i'm a bit scared of using Stripe

Before you, as a foreign customer, could pay for a comm in RUB(paypal converted it). The artist should check the currency rate and informed the customer about ru price(yes, it's not that easy to find out the boosty's currency rate so you could receive a bit more or less)
As another comment pointed though, the rates are awful and, while the service has gotten better over time (IE not erroring left and right), every artist who has to use that platform really, really wants Paypal back, or just a better alternative.
So yeah, Boosty is only for artists from sanctioned countries, I'm sure you got better options than this to use in Brazil
