FAQ
Liberapay is funded by donations to its own account and does not take a cut of payments. However, there are payment processing fees which vary by payment processor, payment method, countries, and currencies.
Yes, you can stop your donations or modify their amounts, periods, and renewal modes at any time through your 'Giving' page. Stopping a donation cancels future renewals but does not trigger any refund.
Yes, Liberapay has been running for 10 years without any significant security incident. It complies with European Union financial regulations (GDPR, PSD2, etc.) and works with licensed payment processors to prevent fraud, money laundering, and terrorism financing.
The available payment methods depend on the payment processors supported by the recipient. Stripe accepts most credit and debit cards (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) and SEPA Direct Debits (for euros in fully supported countries). PayPal requires a donor account but supports various payment options.
The minimum donation is €0.01 per week, but donors are encouraged to pay for multiple weeks in advance to minimize fees. The maximum donation per user is €100.00 per week to stabilize income.
You can check the authenticity of a profile by looking at connected social accounts (only the account owner can link them) or by verifying if the profile is linked on the project's official website. If unsure, you can ask Liberapay for assistance.
Yes, but only donations from outside Finland are allowed due to strict Finnish regulations. To restrict donations to non-Finnish sources, deselect Finland in the list of accepted countries and save the changes.
Liberapay is strictly for donations with no expectation of recompense, unlike platforms with contractual agreements. It is an open, non-profit project supporting multiple currencies and languages, focusing on internationalization.
