Commission artists struggle to take payments on their own terms
Independent artists want to take commission requests and payments without relying on PayPal, but the alternatives they can use may depend on their country, fees, content rules, and what name clients see. Some also want to replace awkward request handling through DMs or email. A small tool could improve the workflow and help artists evaluate options, but it cannot guarantee that a payment provider will accept their content or hide their legal name.
For independent commission artists. Mentioned from Sep 2024 to Feb 2026 on Bluesky.
