Liberapay, Ko-fi, Tipeee... What about GNU Taler?

Hi @resl,
Welcome here!

@resl

Doesn’t Librepay also use commercial payment softwares “under the hood” so to speak?

I guess they have a proper access to their API since it’s required to operate transfers to an account.

@resl

I am hoping GNU Taler will be a free software replacement for software like PayPal

so do we!

@resl

so we can use free software to exchange funds between bank accounts

not exactly. GNU Taler can provide anonymous payments thanks to an intermediary between the payer and the payee (referred as the Exchange, that delivers tokens against euros - what we call “withdrawal” - before any transaction can happen). But there is still the possibility to perform Wallet-to-Wallet, “P2P” payments in GNU Taler.

@resl

I assume using ACH protocols like other payment processing softwares must do

I’m not familiar with ACH protocols but GNU Taler has it’s own API as you can discover it in the docs. Maybe you can have a look at the overview of GNU Taler documentation for more details?
