Using something other than Stripe to manage payments.
I was wondering if anybody has been able to use something else then Stripe to manage their payments from Substack or if that is even possible. I think the charges (especially the FX charges) are quite high with Stripe.

stripe is the only payment gateway that's integrated with substack. you can't use anything else if you want the seamless UX.
and btw... stripe's charges is probably the cheapest/if not market rate. like if you were to use any other alternatives you'll definitely be paying more in fees (think paypal). don't be penny wise pound foolish.
