Payment Method (Resolved)

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Payment Method (Resolved)

Post by Blessing E »

Online book club is a platform of more than 10 years and also has the credibility of providing optimum service to authors and paying reviewers who abide by the rules. However, having only one payment method is really not flexible, seeing that not everyone has access to it. Also, in a case where someone loses access to his/her account, that's most likely the end of their book reviewing experience.
I believe that a huge platform like this should have more than one method to pay reviewers. There are other efficient and strict internationally used platforms that can be used aside PayPal, such as Payoneer, etc.

Sincerely, It'll be incredibly amazing if other payment platforms can be added.

Dear Blessing,

Thank you for your suggestion.

There are no plans to add any other payment methods at present. However, I'll pass on your suggestion.

Is there any updates to other payment options? I refuse to use PayPal, and if it’s still the only option I must decline.

Hi.

Thank you for the inquiry. Unfortunately, PayPal is still the only payment method. You will be updated if other payment methods are adopted.
Thank you.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
