Dear Modrinth Team,
I am writing to you as a dedicated creator on your platform. First, I would like to express my appreciation for the incredible ecosystem you’ve built for the modding community. Your commitment to creators is the reason many of us choose Modrinth as our primary home.
I am reaching out to discuss the current payout options available for creators residing in Bangladesh. Currently, the standard withdrawal methods (such as Stripe or direct bank transfers) present significant local hurdles or high intermediary fees for users in our region.
To ensure a seamless and "100% agreeable" experience for the growing Bangladeshi creator base, I would like to formally request the consideration of bKash as a withdrawal or remittance channel.
Why this benefits the Modrinth Community:
Accessibility: bKash is the most widely used mobile financial service in Bangladesh, allowing creators to receive funds directly to their mobile wallets.
Incentivizing Growth: By offering a localized payment method, Modrinth will become the "go-to" platform for South Asian developers, significantly increasing your regional mod library.
Ease of Use: bKash integrates easily with global remittance partners (like Payoneer or Western Union), which Modrinth may already be compatible with.
My Proposal:
If a direct integration is not yet feasible, I would appreciate guidance on whether the team can facilitate payouts via a partner that supports bKash (such as Payoneer) to ensure we can continue to contribute to the platform effectively.
I am happy to provide any further documentation or information regarding the bKash infrastructure to help make this process as smooth as possible for your team.
Thank you for your time and for everything you do for the modding community. I look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely,

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like Modrinth to support bKash payouts for creators in Bangladesh. bKash is the primary mobile financial service in the region and would allow Bangladeshi creators to receive their earnings directly and securely.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have looked into Stripe and direct bank transfers, but these often have high fees or are unavailable for many users in my country. Another alternative is Payoneer, which can bridge funds to bKash, but a direct integration would be more efficient.

Additional context

Supporting localized payment methods like bKash will encourage more talented developers from South Asia to move their projects to Modrinth.
