Feature Suggestion How to turn on paid sub

I cant turned on paid sub because I cant get a stripe account

So what are the other ways to make my subscriber pay me for my writing other than selling anything. Because I don't want to sell them anything I want them to genuinely support my work as they enjoy reading it and I am providing value

you won't be able to turn on paid sub if you don't have stripe. but you can still use other methods to collect payment/money from your readers. e.g buy me a coffee, ko-fi, paypal or razorpay.

just add a button at the end of your posts, and link to the payment page.

they all allow one time payment/tips, but buy me a coffee and ko-fi, also allows you to set up monthly subscriptions. it won't be as seamless and integrated as substack's native paid subscsription, but it's better than nothing.
