I was recently made aware of a platform for accepting donations called Wishtender, which has the interesting combination that it is mutually privacy-preserving for donor and receiver, allows one-time donations and has checked with its payment processor that as long as the transactions are donations, tips or gifts, it does not have qualms about the receiver's businesses.

After some testing, it held up, and so now I am offering the ability to support scriptbin at Wishtender. It works slightly differently than Patreon, which is still an option — read more on the Support scriptbin page.

The big news, and the reason I bothered, is that one-time tips are supported directly, so if you only want to donate once, you do not have to go through the hassle of signing up for a membership and then not cancelling it later, which gets dangerous around the first of each month because of the risk of being billed a second time.

Q: The minimum tip at Wishtender is $4.50, higher than the $3 offered as the lowest tier at Patreon. Is this yet another price hike, the likes of which we're seeing everywhere these days?

No, for at least two very good reasons. Everything that used to be available on Patreon is still available on Patreon. I would have liked to have a $3 tip on Wishtender too, but the platform does not allow progressing to checkout if you have less than a total of $4.50 in your cart. If this limit is lowered, I'll be happy to set it back to $3 there too.
