I am a small farmer. I have a self-serve farmstand with an honor box. By popular demand I added a Paypal option. People who use that don't know that Paypal takes a bite of the money
You can ask your PayPal users to send the money via “friends and family option“, rather than classifying it as a purchase from a business. This avoids the fees entirely, but doesn’t provide them with an easy refund process. From a farm stand, though, they are choosing their own produce, so I think the refund issue is entirely moot.
I think most people do know but what can they do about it if they don't have cash to leave? You might have a sign suggesting they leave an extra dollar or whatever to cover the PayPal fees.
You continue to have nice reminders of how to support your work. Thanks!
As an elderly person I'm keeping this for future reference😍😍😍
I assume Substack takes a cut of your subscriptions? How much? Do they also get a piece of tips?
That’s a really good question.

Color me naive, but I didn't know
I show my gratitude for your outstanding writing by having an annual subscription.
Hi Sasha, I also have left tips before but last week I had the same problem. I always enjoy your writing. Thank you!
