Hello,

I want to release some freeware and accept donations, but don't want to use Paypal.

Can you recommend me other platform that works fine for that please?

Best Regards

Anything related to crypto currencies?

I've used FastSpring (https://fastspring.com/) in the past to get payments from my users, and you can choose which payments they accept, meaning you can exclude PayPal if you like and just accept credit card, cheques, etc.

Otherwise, Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/) seems to be getting big these days. It's a system that lets people donate monthly to you, any amount they like. Not sure if you can exclude PayPal with it, though, as I haven't tried it (yet).

I made my payment by bank transfer through Andre. That was really quick.

I am not sure, however, whether this only works within the EU.
