I just saw your message, thank you!

Final

Came to say this. Anybody living outside Japan is going to have a difficult time buying anything on Fantia or other Japanese sites now. They are all dropping support for our typical credit cards. It also has smallish data limits AFAIK, similar to booth.

Today, my technical team and I have discussed and found a solution, and I will update the post with the details. I’ve also noted down Gravurekid and Gank as backup options, so thank you very much for your suggestions!

U can try gravurekid it allows nsfw stuff or gank seem good for now fansly ok but u could only view things u buy if you stay subscribed so buyers would have to pay monthly for ever even if they payed a set price for it 😒

I just looked at Booth to see what the limits are. You can only upload 1GB files, and image length/width can't go beyond 5000px. It is so weird to have limits like that. I don't understand why Gumroad has an issue with this kind of content. I'm struggling to understand their reasoning behind it. Another site you could try to sell on is Boosty. It's similar to Patreon. People can follow for free, you can make tiers, and although it doesn't have a store page, you can make posts paywalled. Once they buy it, it's unlocked for them forever. It just doesn't have a coupon option. They also support VISA, MasterCard, and UnionPay. You seem to have a lot of options to try now, I hope you find one that works best for you! Maybe Patreon will get off their ass soon and finally let you use a store page here ^^; It would be great to have everything in one place.

Yes, I also think that addressing these issues within Patreon is the best choice, rather than opting for a new platform. Thank you!

I understand, and I have indeed seen other cosplayers use this method to address the issue of independent purchases. I will carefully consider your suggestion. Thank you very much!

thank you for taking in conseideration the ammount of the photosets would be irrelevant, since the Tier could be a fixed price for exemple 3 Sets that of the side that were not in the patreon of the month could bee like 2 photosets of the month and 1 from another month release ofc thoses people would had to dm you with the sets they wanted some cosplsyers do like this hope i explaned myself well :)

I guess best option could be just adding a dedicated tier on Patreon where you can set either a number of past photo books that can be purchased within that tier or a max amount of $ which can be reached putting multiple albums together. Basically I agree with Pintas opinion, so you would not have to worry about exploring or finding a new website (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Gank and Ko-fi are both quite suitable for me, but my only concern is their tolerance for NSFW content. Honestly, the photobooks I produce might be considered too explicit on these platforms 😅. In the past, my payment account was suspended for this reason. Booth was actually one of the platforms I initially considered using, but I found out that their file size limit was only 500MB, whereas most of my photobooks exceed that size. I'm not sure if Booth has improved this limitation since then. Thank you very much for your suggestion! I think I'll keep an eye on Gank!

1. Gank, I've bought content on there before. I don't think you can add a coupon code but NSFW is accepted there as far as I can see. 2. booth.pm but I am not too sure about them. I only know about them. 3. Ko-fi, I've bought lewd cosplay sets from there before.

I completely agree with your suggestion, but the number of HD photobooks I release each month isn't fixed—sometimes it's 2, and other times it can be 3-4. This has been one of my concerns. The best solution would be if Patreon could upgrade its SHOP feature. That way, all subscribers could not only receive their monthly rewards but also have the option to purchase their favorite older photobooks at a discounted price. Non-subscribers could still purchase individual photobooks at full price whenever they like. I'll first work on resolving the current issue with Gumroad not being able to process purchases. Thank you for your suggestion!

i would just remove the "sell on the side" Photosets Discount would disapear and every photoset would be a montly Patreon i myself would prefer this way so i didnt have to worry about two diferente sites with diferent sets but if you have to, you can add atleast a tier option of being able to buy "older" Photosets and the person would have to message you with the name sets you have on the list
