Colin,

Does Circlepay have desktop apps? Or just smartphone? We're trying to set up PoS and everything seems to be smartphone-only.

We want a desktop app that works with card readers and isn't a browser app. Ideally it would be open source. I know these criteria together mean probably nothing is out there - but worth checking I figure.

Thanks,

If you want to try something using cryptocurrencies, then there are many
other options. Coinbase, uphold, metamask (with chrome browser). Dash,
Stellar <https://www.stellar.org/> (maybe someday).

It's getting closer to where we won't need paypal or fiat any more but
right now getting from fiat to crypto can still be a challenge. I like
ether the best and used to use circlepay to buy bitcoin to get ether. Now I
use gemini or coinbase, but getting signed up with various exchanges can be
a real hassle and slow process. https://shapeshift.io/#/coins can also be a
way to exchange digital assets.

Bitcoin is not environmentally friendly. Neither is ether at the moment,
but at least it has a transition plan. Many wonder whether it will
successfuly transition.

Here's one way circle manages some of the reporting issues fiat gateways
face (with limits):

Circle was very fast when I used it. With coinbase bank transfers pretty
much always take the full five business days.

Good luck!

Patreon is for recurring payments, so if you think you have people willing
to do that then definitely go for that.

Stripe and Square are probably the two largest Paypal alternatives.

Patreon? I've not used it, but I hear it referred to quite often.

Hi all,

Has anyone used an alternative to Paypal that lets you accept donations
through your website and send money?

Thanks!
