@fell @Liberapay @opencollective The biggest problem with small donations is comparatively big transaction costs: https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective/issues/1916
Credit card companies benefit the most out of open source donations.
It's a mystery to me why this issue isn't solved yet as the benefit is huge. As stated in the comments this would have saved about $30,000 (if the transactions didn't grow since 2019) in Stripe fees for 2-5 days of work if this feature was implemented when the bug was opened.
