@glitzersachen @leanlearnlead problem is whilst #Germany and the rest of the #EU did standardize on #CCS2 for #ChargingStations, there's no mandate for all EVs to have the connector for it!

The whole #payment fiasco comes to it: I don't have to register to fill up a gas tank:

• All I've to do is pay after pumping or the gas station staff will call the police.

I don't think it's too much to ask to accept all common cashless payments either if they don't want the #cash with unmanned charging stations.

• I'm not even expecting them to accept #Monero or god forbid some #Shitcoins or some obscure single-bank - only payment system. If my local #Döner shop can do #NFC payments then the #TechBros that 'reinvent charging' can do so too.

I'm going to make a small library that will allow to standardise most payment flows on PHP.

It's very lean, but the idea is to swap multiple services depending on how the consumer wants to pay: Stripe, PayPal, etc.

"This new #payment system allows for ways to financially support artists on #theFediverse, and the levels of support resemble a hybrid of what both #Bandcamp and #Patreon offer. Not only does this feature include line items for digital media, but a new mechanism for access and distribution. Additionally, the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money #musicians make."

Solange Deine Bank noch kein #WERO anbietet, erstelle doch einfach einen QR-Code mit Deinen Kontoinformationen (Name und IBAN):
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC-QR-Code
Der lässt sich mit fasst jeder Banking App einlesen und die damit generierten #Echtzeitüberweisungen sind genauso schnell.

As long as your bank doesn't yet offer #WERO, simply create a QR code with your banking account information (name + IBAN):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC_QR_code
It can be scanned with almost any banking app and the instant payments generated with it are just as fast.

Online freelancers:
How do you process payments?
I'm setting myself up to provide software tuition online and am now looking at how best to recieve payments.
The top priority is of course that it's easy for clients to use but other considerations are:

- No recurring charges (subscription fees)
- Fair per-transaction processing fees.
- As ethical as possible.

Thanks!

I'm working on setting up a #NonProfit for #BTFree , which is a #digital #privacy, #advocacy and #consulting #platform, aka running #social #web platforms such as #Peertube or to help folks set up their own.

So I'm going to need to take #donations . Looking at @Liberapay , but they still need a #payment #processor like #Paypal.

So what's the advantage of something like Liberapay if I still need Paypal to handle actual donations? Not criticizing, attempting to learn. #Fedi
