#snek asks

[3amsnek]

hi if this isn’t something you prefer answering you can ignore my ask!

so i wanted to know how much stripe reveals your info to people who pay you? through ko fi and all that. what i mean is when someone gives the creator money through ko fi using paypal their name (legal name) is revealed on invoice so does that happen with stripe as well?

i’ve heard with stripe, creators can hide their legal name and use another which shows up on invoices but im unsure if it’s true

hi! I actually had this same concern and did a lot of poking around for how different platforms handle this while setting up my commissions so I will attempt to answer! disclaimer I am just a guy who is bad with technology so there is a chance I am wrong about things ok here’s a readmore attempt click to get Snek’s business knowledge

this is actually the main reason I rly like stripe, you can customize pretty much everything clients will see including how much information about yourself you want to give away- I literally only have 3amsnek as my name in there, it’s just my business name (the Public Details section of settings lets you mess with this as much as you like, it’s under the Business Settings category)

it gives my country & state on some invoices but no further details (I can’t remember if state is mandatory or I clicked on the wrong button somewhere setting it up but I can’t disable it so keep that in mind) (I can change it along with everything else in my info though)

you do need to give Stripe all of your information for legal and payment purposes which can be kinda intimidating to set up but within my account I can customize what name will show up everywhere it shows up, put a different email than the one I signed up with as a customer support email to go at the bottom of receipts, decide specifically how much of my location is shown- idk if this is super clear bc I’m not at all experienced in Business Advice but by my memory/experience it doesn’t even ask for a Firstname Lastname name anywhere that’ll be shown to customers

for the record I’ve never actually used paypal bc my account got nuked within a day of making it and they have simply refused to fix it so I don’t have a direct comparison from personal experience but from my various hours of research trying to put comms together it seemed like paypal will always give everyone involved in the transaction a stupid amount of information about each other and there rly isn’t much to do about it/things can’t be changed ever or at least without huge difficulty and my experience with Stripe has been not that at All,,, it’s been very nice tbh I even found a whole invoices feature that allows international bank transfers as a payment method making a workaround for people who only have paypal & no card

if this is still confusing you can dm me and I’ll send you a picture of my checkout page/invoice/email receipt templates, it rly only shows my profile picture for stripe which I selected and can change (for me it’s the same dragon I use for my ko-fi header) and my business name in big letters at the top to say who you’re paying and then it’s the checkout/payment setup for the client (looks like any other online shopping checkout thing rly) - I haven’t been able to Confirm confirm that this all shows up properly on receipts as I don’t rly have a way to run a test with it with actual payment but it shows you what all the graphics are set to show up as in your account (under Branding in settings, same Business Settings box as Public Details is in) and you can change all of it any time (I do think you can also send blank test receipts to yourself)

hopefully this helps clarify things? at this point of using it for a couple months I would say I’d recommend Stripe- I’ve been rly pleased with it so far, especially with this specific topic :]

Hii!!!! <3

“I’m so sorry, Keefe. I’m so sorry.” Tears traced his cheeks, and Fitz cried as he watched Keefe slightly illuminated by the moonlight glowing. Out of his reach, like he was always supposed to be. He didn’t know how long he sat there, but it would never be long enough.

I'm at 13420 words!! (and barely more than halfway done fgoofsfgors)

Aziraphale [about Job being talked to by God]: I don't suppose he's getting any answers.

Crowley: No. But just to be able to ask the question.

[beescake]

Is it just me or is your solkat giving Good Omens vibes? specifically the way you draw them

goddamn

you're exactly right actually hshajha i did indeed have an old headcanon about this

i think it's cool how homestuck and good omens have had some overlapping fans even in the past!!

the dvkt fic mentioned is To Defy Gods and Devils by amaranthinecanicular (2013) - it was written before the tv show (2019) so i found it quite fun that the author wrote it based on their book perception of gomens

tho i did say slkt so. solkat omens!

[snekverse]

Could we get a redraw of the scene where Aphmau finds out Garroth is Zane's older brother? That scene is pretty mid in canon it'd be cool to see it taken more seriously

[dailyhatsune]

may we get... miku but foxgirl...

Google added snake to emoji keyboard so I thought I'd send it some highlights

these are absolutely glorious. as a saxophonist AND avid fan of embroidery, the sax & needle ones speak to me on a spiritual level

HIHI I DID THIS W/O A REFERENCE IN CLASS BUT I DREW UR MASTERMIND XANDER!!

it's not very accurate bc, again, no reference but I was supposed to be ur guy I promise 🙏🙏

(and yeah Xander isn't technically British but. i thought the quote was funny)

He's so silly!!! I love it!! Never trust the Fake Brit!! He will even lie about his death!! Thank you for showing me!

Even if Xander isn't actually British, it's still fun to make the jokes!

Also, I felt like I should say this on a post involving the mm xanvid au since I did on one involving the revival au but-

Sending asks and even doodles and drawings does sometimes help me develop the aus more (especially when it's questions about the au because I have to think of answers for those-)

[strawlessandbraless]

tell me more about your second favorite venomous reptile

This genuinely made me laugh out loud, then smile, then 🥹. Haha, but since you so kindly asked…

It’s the Spiny Bush Viper. These guys are arboreal species, meaning they prefer being up in trees than on the ground. They’re great climbers and are usually found between 3000 - 8000 feet

Spiny bush vipers are so venomous that normal antivenins do not word against their bite. Luckily they are in more remote locations in African rainforests and there is very little human contact.

They will hang from trees, disguised as gnarled vines, to ambush and attack their prey, usually small mammals, lizards, frogs, and birds. Curling up into a tight S shape before they strike. The best part is that they’re nocturnal and during the day they much prefer to sleep among the flowers, and I love that for them

😘

saw your answer about stripe ask and i just want to say for anyone out there: don’t use paypal unless that’s the only option for you.

i made a paypal account and immediately, within a minute of making it, it got permanently limited and after days to contacting paypal they still refused to fix it (saying they can’t reveal why it got limited for their safety) and didn’t let me close my account. basically i can’t use my account and i can’t delete it either so my info will always be stored on paypal, which is ridiculous and not safe.

anyway, like i said, if you have another option besides paypal then use that because paypal sucks. be careful!

^^^^^^ no yeah exactly same hat (og ask)

I have a solid guess on why mine is dead so tiny psa if you’re making a paypal account & have legally changed your name in the past like year before that pls triple check that everything official is as consistent and already changed over as possible and you have new IDs already Before you make the account bc they’ll find one tiny thing that hasn’t fixed itself yet and shut you down for possible identity fraud no matter what you do :)

(also if you feel like you need to have paypal so you have an option for customers who don’t have a card I will once again recommend stripe bc I’ve discovered their direct email invoices allow you to accept bank transfers as a payment method (including internationally) so people can just pay using the online banking account their paypal is linked to without having to go through paypal)
