There are currently no payment systems on this site. In the future, I hope I can meet people who are experienced in this field so that I can integrate it into Mecha and maybe make it an extension so that it can be used by others.

I am currently using several third party services to accept payments. They certainly have their advantages and disadvantages that you need to know.

Debit Card

If you are a native Indonesian, this might be the most ideal option. Because you don’t have to worry about regulations in other countries when you want to send money. The payment process can usually be done immediately. The drawback of this payment method is that it can only be done instantly by native Indonesians. People from other countries may need to make some adjustments and this may incur additional fees.

GitHub Sponsors

Contribute financially through the GitHub Sponsors program so you will get a reward in the form of a sponsor badge on your GitHub profile.

Open Collective

You can also contribute financially through Open Collective so you will get a reward in the form of a financial contributor badge on the Open Collective’s contributor list which will be displayed in the rendered README.md file of the core repository.

PayPal

This has become my favorite payment method for overseas donors. It seems that this has long been the standard of payment for freelancers. Even though I’m not a freelancer that can be hired at this time, you can ask me to make certain features for a fee.

Stripe

The reason why I have a Stripe account is because of the GitHub Sponsors that depends on it. Many people also admit that the Stripe payment API is better than the PayPal payment API. This opened up an opportunity for me to learn how this platform works if you choose to transact using Stripe. This can also help me in creating a Stripe payment feature in the future.

The Stripe payment feature is currently not available in Indonesia, so it would be better if you choose the PayPal option for now. If for a reason you have to use Stripe, use it through GitHub Sponsors.
