Posted February 24Feb 24 Administrators Which payment providers do you use for your forum? Do you stick with PayPal, or have you branched out to other options? Right now, I currently only use paypal as a payment provider on my forum, but I might implement more payment providers in the future. Have you found it worthwhile to offer multiple payment methods, or do you prefer to keep things simple? What’s worked best for your forum? Owner of a Virtual Pets Forum.
February 25Feb 25 I don't have a payment provider on any forums, ever. However, I do think PayPal is the safer option out there, and I don't think I would use any other payment option on a forum.
February 26Feb 26 I typically stick to PayPal. As a user, I get nervous about using payment systems I'm unfamiliar with. I'll usually not use them. Forum Owner and Blogging Help Another Admin Forum
February 26Feb 26 Moderators Cash out option is not available on my forums and buying membership is available only on one forum that I co-own.

March 6Mar 6 Content Team I used PayPal to handle all payments on my old forum, although for a very short while I did experiment with Skrill (formerly Moneybookers) early on, I quickly found that it wasn't nearly as popular as PayPal. For a short while and as a meme I also accepted cryptocurrency payments, but this was long before the big "crypto-crazes". I still have lost Bitcoins somewhere that I will never retrieve. :cry: Looking to grow your community and encourage engagement? Check out Administrata's premium Content Ordering service!

March 10Mar 10 Content Team I've never ran a community that gave out money, but I would stick to PayPal since many Countries use Paypal. I'd look into other ones though if I ever do give out cash or even possibly crypto on my communities. (But honestly I don't think I'd ever will.) Love roleplaying games? So do we on RPG Haven!
March 11Mar 11 I prefer crypto as you can't use PayPal for online poker. I don't have any account upgrades on my forum, but it'll likely accept both PayPal and crypto if we add account upgrades in the future. Online Poker Forums - Home Game Leaderboards - Poker Affiliate Forums

March 18Mar 18 I don't have any payment options right now for anything on my blog, however, I've thought about using Paypal. I know my husband uses it so I know he can teach me how to use it if I decide to make money off my blog.
May 5May 5 Author Administrators I use both crypto and PayPal but I prefer crypto the most. If crypto drops in price, how does it actually benefit your forum? Will it pay your server bills like regular cash will? Is it fully acceptable by everyone like cash is? Owner of a Virtual Pets Forum.
