As a creator of digital products: great site, congrats! As a consumer: PayPal only? I’m outta here. I don’t like my money randomly frozen on a whim. Are you folks planning to offer Giropay for the consumer side? That’s pretty much the only payment service I can use nowadays.

Or CreditCard, or iDeal, or AliPay, or crypto, or... or... or... Of the vast amount of payment options available online, only a handful is used by people in a geographic area. Dutch people have a very strong preference for iDeal, for example, and rarely purchase things with credit cards, while Chinese customers heavily lean on AliPay.

  That's why you use a payment processor like Adyen or Mollie, who handles all these geographic differences for you.

PayPal allows paying with a credit card without needing to create an account. If the OP doesn't have this, there's literally a checkbox for this in the merchant's settings on the PayPal's admin panel. The drawback however is an elevated risk of fraud. Edit: ... and they don't have this enabled - https://fruits.de/c/v9kgq https://fruits.de/c/v9kgq

  Content creator payouts are also paid through PayPal, so unless there's another feature I'm not aware of, it seems PayPal will get the opportunity to freeze the money either way.

    ... bank transfers is one of the feature requests already in our pipeline! Due to limited time (fruits was built within a few days), we reduced the product to the most simple MVP we could come up with. We will now be adding features on a daily basis :-)

Thank you for the feedback. The Paypal integration was now for the MVP our first payment function. On the one hand because Paypal is the most important payment option in Germany and on the other hand because you can already pay via credit card with Paypal. However, we are working at full speed on the integration of other payment options. From purchase on account to topics like Giropay etc. and Crypto. Please give us a little more time. :)
