I always want to donate to such causes, and always the only options are creditcard or paypal. I don't have a creditcard and I refuse to use paypal.
Last time Wikipedia asked for donations, they had a nice iDEAL (the online payment system in the Netherlands) option right there on the first page. I entered €50,- pressed a button and presto. Done.
Moral of the story: if you want donations, invest some time into making it super easy to get donations. I can't imagine there isn't some online service that'll let people pay in just about every possible payment method there is.
- edwintorok 12y agoDid you try the 'Wau Holland Stiftung' listed on the donate page? They take: bank transfer, bitcoin, paypal, credit card
- icebraining 12y agoNot saying they shouldn't do that, but virtual prepaid CCs are available in many countries, including in the Netherlands, from what I can gather, like https://www.3vcard.nl/ https://www.3vcard.nl/
- maw 12y agoAre they usable in different countries? I know that, unfortunately, some prepaid CCs issued in the US can't be used in other countries, for instance. But maybe that's less likely to be the case in Europe, or, really, just about anywhere else.
- icebraining 12y agoDunno about 3V, but here in Portugal we have a similar system (called MBNet) and it works fine everywhere. I do all my online shopping with it.
