Boosty tutorial (Updated for payment in $)
It's easier than it looks)
!!!!!!!!!!!_PLEASE READ THIS_!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEAR KITTIES!
PLEASE CHECK WHO YOU ARE SENDING YOUR DONATIONS TO!
IF YOU HAVE ORDERED ART FROM OTHER ARTISTS, YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THEIR BOOSTY, NOT MINE.
I have already received several donations through Boosty, some of them have already been deposited, and I will be using Boosty for some time.

I tried following this tutorial to pay an artist, but the PayPal option seemed like it would take forever to load. Does it work and I just need to wait a long time for a transaction to go through, or is it broken?
I have not encountered this problem, but I had a similar technical problem when a payment was not passed due to a technical error. In this case it helped to create a separate publication on boosty with a one-time payment, the customer was able to pay through it.
In your case, I can suggest that the problem is not in boosty, but in paypal, maybe it is overloaded.
I hope it works out for you
Two days ago I was getting donations through paypal and everything was fine

I've had the same issue but i manage to fix it by converting the currency i had on paypal to rouble, after that it worked without any issues.
Since yesterday, the official Boosty accounts publish information that now have problems with the withdrawal of funds to the cards because of the large influx of new users
But I withdraw to Qiwi, yesterday there was an error withdrawal, but today withdraw all without problems

Can’t seem to connect my card, Is It related due to people signing up?
I had the same trouble, which solved when I filled up my profile
The issue I have is it’s telling me my phone number is invalid
try to put it with the code number of your country. for me +7 worked since im in russia
Сегодня друг американец пытается произвести оплату на Бусти через Пейпал - не проходит платеж...
Мне из Белоруссии не проходит донат. Операция одобряется и почти сразу отменяется по "технической ошибке"
Today I was able to pay 2 out of 3 times, I will deal with the last one, as soon as I get it, I will write here about the method :)
Не проходит сумма 30 000 ₽ через ревард. Попробуем через донат.
50 переводов куда и на что? На карту? Оно раз в сутки автоматом, то есть максимум 31 раз. Или на что? На донаты? Или оплату постов? Это странно, а если аудитория большая? Или это для одного плательщика?
Support responded as follows:
"Good afternoon. Now PayPal payments are heavily antifraud, and funds of such payers are going back, we will lower the antifraud threshold today. Here you need to either make several attempts, "to win" or wait 1-2 days.
Hence, I would advise you to try to make payment several times, or split payment into smaller amounts, for example on 6000-7000, I also had a similar problem, but last night donates went successfully for two people, the third did not work.
What you were told about the limits refers only to the withdrawal of funds from Boosty to the card, not about donations.
However, when withdrawing funds to the Qiwi wallet, there are no such restrictions.

A little note I want to add for those who'd like to use PayPal as the payment method for Boosty!
The method never appeared for me until I logged in on the desktop version of the site (either by visiting it with a computer or tablet, or by enabling the Show Desktop Version function on my mobile's browser).
Me and a friend who I was trying to pay her for a commission were struggling to find why it wasn't there on my side until we stumbled upon that. 😄

Yep! There wasn't and still isn't any for me. Like I was seeing the scrollbar appear but it was full width, meaning there wasn't anywhere to scroll.
It really required me to get in desktop mode for it.

I wanted to pay someone through boosty with paypal option but it keeps asking for card info when I choose paypal. Why? :(
if I fill the form with my card will the site use my card instead of paypal?

Здравствуйте! Спасибо за этот гайд и помощь!
Я хотел бы задать пару вопросов тем, кто уже выводил средства:
1. Заказчик оплатил мне YCH через донат 8 645 ₽. В "Цели" сумма осталась той же, но когда я перешёл в раздел "Мои доходы", а затем в "Статистику", в разделах "На текущем балансе" и "Всего заработано" сумма была меньше, а именно 7 780,5 ₽. Неужели настолько большая комиссия?
2. Кто-нибудь выводил средства на карту Visa? Всё нормально работает?
Буду благодарен за ответ, спасибо!

1. Yes, unfortunately boosty eats 10% commission
2. I withdraw to qiwi, all very stable and no problems, but I often see in discussions that people have problems with withdrawal to bank cards, but they are not terrible, because boosty officially announced the temporary withdrawal problems because of the heavy load. In general, with the withdrawal to the cards will also not be a problem, you may have to wait 1-2 days or so

I've tried using this, been able to click PayPal and my correct card I want to use, then it sends the money and refunds it immediately. Idk what's going on.
I have faced with this, in some cases it helped to change the browser, in some cases it helped to change the currency of the wallet paypal to RUB, also helped to try to pay again in 1-2 days
Well crap. I tried to put in 810.00 but it instead did.. 81000.00
You and the artist you paid should try writing to support, but definitely together, otherwise support won't even listen)
Огромное спасибо за инструкцию! При оплате на бусти прикладываю ссылку на ваш туториал, проблем не возникает ♥
For those using PayPal:
Sometimes it'll go into a "Sorry there was an error, try again". Sometimes it works if you wait - sometimes it doesn't.
But one good way to do it? Remove Paypal from your payment - then add it again while paying. this works every time for me.

Question; when doing paypal, it says, “I want to use Card xxx-xx for automatic payments to MY.GAMES Store…” is this right?
This message appears if you're subscribing to an author (like on Patreon), in which case every month a specific amount will be automatically deducted
If you donate to a goal, it won't say automatic payments.
And if you're asking about MY.GAMES, then yes, everything's fine here, it's the name of boosty's development company.

Sorry, yes, the donation is to a goal, but it still shows that message on both goals. So should I go through and let it process than remove any recurring subscription after?
I don't think any subscriptions will show up, but yeah, if anything, just remove)
I'm getting the same issues on both my phone and multiple different browsers, both regular and incognito mode. The bank card just won't take it, it always returns an error within a second telling me to try again, same thing if I try to add the card to my payment methods on my account in general. PayPal is the opposite, it takes all the information but it hangs and stalls with an endlessly loading circle and never proceeds further.
I've got my phone and e-mail verified on there but I'm still having no luck at all.

There are two possible solutions
1. Try to pay by VPN, but directly through the card, not through PayPal, because PayPal is not very fond of VPN
2. Ask your artist to write to support to lower the threshold of the anti-fraud system, it helped me with some customers.

idk. when i tried to pay via paypal 400 usd rn is like 26500 rub, so when i paid 26500 rub it tried to pull 486 usd off my card and got itself flagged for fraud. it also doesnt even show how much its trying to change paypal in usd so guessing the correct rub amount to send is impossible. and if its tacking the commission on, 10% of 26500 is only 2650. thats only 40 usd. its trying to take over 20%commission and tacking it on to the original amount
It's not the service's commission, it's a discrepancy in the dollar-ruble exchange rate conversion
Buyers never pay the service fee
This happens when the actual dollar/ruble exchange rate does not correspond to the exchange rate of your bank or payment system. These things should be discussed with the artist personally, because the artist can not predict the current exchange rate of your bank or PayPal
And regarding such large amounts, I advise to try to pay in smaller installments, or ask your artist to create a publication with a one-time payment, sometimes it works.

Если тебе пришли сегодня 300р, то это от моего заказчика, который случайно перепутал ссылки и задонатил тебе:D

If you haven't figured out the problem yet, you can use any free VPN services (google it), to simulate paying from another IP.
In some cases, this helps

i also cant get boosty to work like AT ALL even after trying a vpn. it worked once and sent 1 partial payment but wouldnt again after that. i have also wrote to support but still no luck.
There sometimes seems to be a problem with Firefox having an endless loading loop when choosing the payment method (I had that today, but it worked for me like a month ago). There was a proposed solution in a tweet from bootsy in February with some config change, which did not work for me. It worked when switching to Chrome, tho.
I'm so confused I have never used this site before and what you show here isn't what comes up on my phone or can I find the c you said. I can't even pull up any menu just look
I've used this service by logging in with my phone number multiple times before and now it's suddenly telling me that my phone number is an "invalid number"
Any clue what's going on here?

I had the same issue. I just emailed their support team (link is at the bottom of their website) and explained the situation. They got back to me in about 10 minutes and told me to make another account and they would transfer my subscriptions across. Issue was resolved in about half an hour.
Im still a little confused. I usually just send everything via paypal with a little extra to take care of the paypal fee. I dont get art often and would like to contribute if i can figure out a way too.
Boosty has 10% service fee and 1-2% withdrawal fee
And you can also pay through Boosty from your paypal account.
So you can send a donation amount of 110% of the amount you want to pay.
In step #2 of my guide, just type in the amount you want to spend
