Stripe's pretty nice, but I'd rather not rely on VC startups. Maybe a cooperative alternative?
To be clear this would be a business endeavor satisfying Visa/Mastercard/etc rather than a technology.
You may argue this *should*n't be needed, but it is. I often see fellow techies overlook this need when proposing Patreon or Bandcamp or (prompting this toot) YouTube alternatives.
