How to choose platforms & tools for donations, tips & crowdfunding

Shortlist two or three platforms and price them at the revenue you expect in a year, not today: a 10% revenue share is cheap at $500/month and ruinous at $50,000. Check what you own when you leave (customer list, email addresses, files), whether the platform is the merchant of record for tax, and how fast payouts arrive.
