Stores
Here's a bunch of comparisons of online store platforms.
Listings

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square | * Square makes those terminals that brick and mortar stores use nowadays. * Integrated inventory between physical/digital stores. * Free plan has a lot of features. | I don't like the templates. | $29/mo | Unlimited | ⚠️ No "lewd, pornographic" content |
| Ecwid | A LOT of features. | Gets more expensive every year. | $25/mo | * free = 5 * $25 = 100 * $45 = 1000 | ✅Does not explicitly forbid under ecwid or lightspeed TOS |

| Itch.io | Good for digital media (PDFs, games) | Weird shipping/inventory system for physical sales | ? | ? | ✅ Known for hosting pornographic content ⛔ No underage sexuality |
Subscriptions
| Site | Pros | Cons | Adult content? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patreon | Known brand | Takes a noticeable percentage | ⚠️ Some vanilla NSFW. Can and will ban anything dubious (hypno, furry, anime…) |
| Ko-fi | * Integrated store & commissions * Allows recurring and single payments | Store purchases hard to manage cuz they're in the same area as regular donations with no item preview. | ⛔ NO. Will look at your other soc med and audit you. |
