I have the same problem. Im from South Africa and can’t use Stripe here. I love Ribblr. Its so easy to write and list my patterns. But I can’t list them for free because I worked hard on them. I dont think Ribblr is being fair to everyone. Not everyone can use Stripe. They should come up with more options that everyone can use. I spoke to Ribblr a while ago and they said they might be adding new payment options this year. I hope so. In the meantime I will just write my patterns on Ribblr but leave them unpublished until they come up with a different payment option. That being said, I love Ribblr. I think its a great platform for pattern designers to sell their patterns

Thanks for this feedback!
I can confirm it is part of the plan and it is important to us. Unfortunately payments are a complex task and therefore our team don’t have an exact timeline which I understand is frustrating, I really do.
I wish worldwide payments were easier - there are hundreds of unique startups trying to solve it - maybe one will

Except they never did when setting up with a dodgy company. This dodgy company then locked my stripe account and stole money from me.
Contacting stripe they just kept saying “speak to the original company” despite me telling them there’s no longer a way for me to contact that dodgy company. Stripe also ignored legal DPA requests, once again redirecting to another company, despite the laws in my country being quite clear that my request to Stripe should be honoured by Stripe.
Hopefully a trustworthy alternative is found soon so I can get back to using ribblr often.
