As many of you know, we recently began a donation drive to fund some much needed site improvements. Currently the only way to donate is via PayPal, which is fine for many people, but it's come to our attention that anyone who doesn't already have a PayPal account must provide their social security number to create a new account, which may be unacceptable for many people.

With that in mind, we want to see if a) there are indeed people who would prefer another means of donation and b) if so what that means might be.

We've come up with a few ideas of our own. Please feel free to add more and discuss them:
Stripe - Stripe is a credit card gateway, which basically means we slap it on the site and you get a way to pay directly with your credit or debit card. We wouldn't get access to any of your card information ourselves, so security risks on either side are minimal. The drawback here is that it might be a bit more work to set up.
Venmo - Feels slightly odd for this sort of thing, but Venmo is an app generally used for people to transfer small sums of money. Kestas could feasibly set up an account and accept money this way.
Kickstarter/GoFundMe - A separate website accepting money to be used for the specific purpose of site improvements. The drawbacks here are that if we're accepting donations in multiple places, we might fall short of our established goal and not get any of the money and that the fees on our end would cut into the budget.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,
The webDip Team
