Payment Option: Bank Transfer

[4jNsY6fCVqZv]

Expected behavior

I expect that when downloading elementary OS I will have a chance to support the project financially, even if I don't want to support/trust the big proprietary vendors like PayPal or Stripe.

Anonymous payment methods would also be desirable for people for whom this is important for certain reasons.

Actual behavior

I have to provide my bank type information for a transfer with Stripe and thus agree to trust such services.

See https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/956 for reference

It looks like the best way to do this is to use Stripe Checkout for our payment form: https://stripe.com/payments/checkout

To what extent is Stripe Checkout a solution?

[btkostner]

Stripe checkout will accept all input from the user, including async ones like bank transfers. The only blocker on this is beam-community/stripity-stripe#630. Once that is in, it should be an easy update to support.
