Regarding Payment Platforms
    2 months ago
            Howdy. Call me KC. I'm just dropping by to ask y'all a question.
In the interest of doing commissions in the future, I'd like to know if there are any SECURE payment platforms out there that will not spill our legal name and information to everyone who wants to commission us! Because I don't know about you, but with current concerns about internet privacy on the whole, I'm none too thrilled about the idea of running commissions on a platform that requires our legal name (a name associated with the gender we align with the least) to be given out to strangers. This is the biggest roadblock regarding commissions, considering the process of making a business PayPal has been attempted previously and it was ultimately given up because the process was extremely frustrating.
I want our information to be kept safe, and the less folks who have access to it, the better, in my book. While I reckon most commissioners haven't got any ill will in mind, I do value our privacy and I'm willing to try a new platform to keep it.
TL;DR, we're looking for a payment processing platform that will:
-Keep our legal name anonymous
-Keep our information secure
-Be accessible and not be a nightmare to sign up for
That's pretty much it. Many thanks to anyone who knows anything, especially if you're someone who works within commissions spaces. Be it a commissioner or someone who draws commissions, let us know the tea. Thanks again and have a great day.

                    I see people setup commissions on Kofi. Could that work?

                    I know Kofi is good for voluntary donations and stuff like that. Might have to look into its viability for hosting commissions because I wasn't aware it could be used that way. :0 Good to know.

                    Yeah, it looks quite good. People can set up different types with examples, e.g. https://ko-fi.com/staurraia/commissions
