BuyMeACoffee silently dropped support for many countries (2024)

Speaking of Stripe, when will they support 3d secure or however it's called this year?

The card I mostly use for online impulses purchases is from a semi paranoid bank that turns down non 3d secure transactions by default. Sometimes they call you for confirmation.

Needless to say, that means no impulse purchases from Stripe using merchants. And no buying coffees for anyone.

Guess it's cheaper for me in the long run...

3DSecure is ... weird. It doesn't always trigger. It depends on some measure of "risk" (however the hell that's determined). E.g. my payments to pizza place never invoke 3D Secure because I order from them so damned often.

I would be happier if this were configurable by the user, because I too would be happier if all my online payments required my second factor.
