I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

Any recommendations for Paypal and Linkedin?

I am not on LinkedIn yet. So don't care to much about it. But I might give it a try at some point. Paypal is just so much integrated in every online shop it's crazy.

i am just about done with linkedin. it's just fartsniffer central, has never gotten me a single lead for a job, and their new ai policy has me real worried.

paypal is basically nonexistent in european commerce. i use it only to deal with american companies, and very reluctantly at that.

if you want a pan-european paypal, bank transfers work. and the various direct payment apps in each country are working with the eu to build an international standard so that you can send from vipps to BLIK or any other.
