1. La Transición de PayPal a Stripe y sus Consecuencias.
Bandcamp está cambiando su sistema de pagos de PayPal a Stripe, lo que genera diversas reacciones entre los usuarios, especialmente aquellos en países donde Stripe no está disponible.
- I just recently learned, although this was known for like 2 months, that bandcamp is ditching paypal in favor to stripe. .that really sucks, because that payment provider isnt available in my country.
- Bandcamp is moving to stripe for musician payouts and ppl are treating it like hell is abt to break loose when the current payment processor is paypal.
- Bandcamp is bad now because theyre switching from paypal to stripe stripe being awful shouldnt distract you from paypal also being awful for similar, if not the exact same, reasons. Its an evil to evil situation and i am so fucking tired.
2. Preocupaciones y Críticas sobre Stripe.
Muchos usuarios expresan su preocupación por el cambio a Stripe, citando problemas de disponibilidad en ciertos países, posibles censuras y la necesidad de crear nuevas cuentas.
- Bandcamp is in the process of switching to stripe only, no more paypal. And stripe just terminated my account for high risk adult content that i never made or advertised.
- Listen i hate paypal as much as everyone else on earth. But bandcamp switching over to stripe for payouts is awful and will absolutely cull the userbase fuck up anyone living in a country where it isnt available. Case in point me.
- Bandcamp switching to stripe is almost purely positive for artists, stripe are not evil, they are forced to follow visa and mastercard censorship, as is paypal stripe historically has been vastly better for small businesses and artists than paypal do not tell them to cancel this!
3. Alternativas a Bandcamp y PayPal/Stripe.
Ante la transición, algunos artistas y usuarios consideran alternativas a Bandcamp, buscando plataformas que ofrezcan opciones de pago más convenientes o éticas.
- Goddamn it bandcamp is gonna fuck me with this stripe shit if they really do away with paypal im finding somewhere else to put my music tbh.
- In prevision of that shenanigan, i already created a gumroad account. Gonna put a link to it on each of my bandcamp album so people that dont want or cant use stripe will be able to continue using paypal.
- If i were to abandon selling on bandcamp in protest of stripe, who are currently on my shit list for what theyve done to itch, my ideal plan would be to host downloads of all my music on my own website and plaster it with ko-fi, paypal, and venmo links people can use to donate if they so desire.
4. PayPal vs. Stripe: Un Debate Continuo.
La discusión sobre si Stripe es una mejora sobre PayPal es recurrente, con argumentos sobre las prácticas de ambas compañías y su impacto en los artistas.
- Bandcamp switching payment processors is rlly annoying, but you are not making a more ethical decision by not using bandcamp because its using stripe instead of fucking paypal of all things paypal is just as evil of a corporation . All payment processors are evil.
- Stripe can suck a fat dick, but im so happy bandcamp is not working through paypal anymore. Thank fuck i can delete that account.
- Its getting incredibly frustrating that paypal seems to just glitch with my card, but only on bandcamp and ampwall.
5. Implicaciones Fiscales y de Cuentas para los Artistas.
El cambio a Stripe también plantea preguntas sobre los requisitos fiscales y la necesidad de que los artistas tengan cuentas comerciales para recibir pagos.
- Bandcamp is completely transitioning from paypal to stripe this summer. Making matters worse, you have to change your personal paypal account to a business account. I absolutely dont like that.
- So bandcamp also dont want to have indie or hobby musicians? theyre dropping paypal support in favor of stripe where you have to create a company to get paid. Or paypal business account which means the same. Get.bandcamp.helphcen-usart.
- Bandcamp payouts now require stripe, and thats a big problem. Bandcamp is removing paypal for artist payouts and going stripe-only. That means if stripe doesnt work in your country, you wont be able to get paid unless you own a u.s. Based company like an llc.
