Regarding recent paypal statemants I want to leave this service as soon as possible but I would like to still support games on itch.io. Please try to add more payment methods.
There is Stripe but it is working with Wells Fargo, you will get screwed with Stripe or Wells Fargo under this agreement: https://stripe.com/wells-fargo/legal
stripe and me had an argument over this stuff already.
apparently their "hate speech" policy was immediatly on tap, but asking about my freedom of speech takes filing an entire support ticket. given freedom of speech is a legal right in many places, this makes it quite the legal issue to not have a solid statement on the matter
strip hates you and they dont want you saying mean words. it's probably a good idea for the website here to stop associating with them, and all other companies which censor and shutdown creators in economic warfare.
Looking up https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/paypal-alternatives maybe WePay and BrainTree?
When using Stripe the buyer will be redirected to a checkout page on itch.io where they can enter their credit card. itch.io to credit card numbers. It is securely sent to Stripe through the buyer’s browser session.
For most credit card transactions, Stripe takes a fee of $0.30 + 2.9%.

The itch.io admin Leafy would need to contact them and get additional info and provide the data for them to respond with accurate pricing strategies.
The 'race to the bottom' in pricing does a disservice for both indie devs and gamers alike. Gamers can't tell what is 'good' or not based on price alone. Free games that are fun and amazing (WarFrame) or paid games that are absolute exploitative gamblebox crap (Mortal Kombat 11).
