Hi admin,

Can Revolut be added to the dropdown list of accepted offsite payment options
please?
Loads listed already such as American Express, IBAN, Paymate etc, but getting
more frequent requests to accept payment option Revolut.
I can accept this and using this for some time with all kinds of pleasure but
it is not known to customers at check out, hence their choice for PayPal or others.

Thanks,

Myranda

There’s lots of payment methods possible through Stripe… but they don’t work
on BrickLink.  BrickLink needs to incorporate them.

AFAIU from previous talks, it should be rather easy to do… but it’s not done. 
And we don’t know why (security? competence? lazyness?).

Also, as for Myranda’s “Loads listed already such as American Express, IBAN,
Paymate etc,”:
1. They are only available for pre-June 2017 sellers.  For the others, only PayPal,
Stripe and IBAN are possible.
2. It’s a rather unmeaningful list: lots of doublets or overlapping methods and
you mostly can’t filter by it.

Not aware it was for pre 2017 sellers visible only.
For me it's not really something that needs to be implemented in the BL website
as is with PayPal, but just to make it visible as a payment option for the buyers
at checkout just like IBAN. Revolut is fast and free, getting sick of paying
endless fees and besides that, the demand from customers is there.

The thing is: the times, they are a-changing. And BrickLink is “the bottom between
two chairs” (can’t seem to decide):

On the one hand, the old way, with just a disorganized list and everything (how
& responsibility) left to the sellers, is gone.  “Onsite” is the way now.  It’s
simpler, more buyer-friendly (more secure).
So no new method will be added to the obsolete list.

On the other hand, there’s still offsite methods, grandfathered or IBAN, and
other, simple to implement, _onsite_ methods aren’t added for… reasons.
So no new method will be added.

Just describing how I see the situation now.
