Support More Payout Options for Creators in Kenya
Fatima Dahir
Hello Beacons Team,
I am a creator and affiliate marketer based in Nairobi, Kenya. I have been using Beacons successfully since November last year, but recently I have faced major payment challenges.
PayPal is no longer a reliable payout option for many creators in Kenya, and Stripe is not directly supported for Kenyan businesses. This has made it extremely difficult for me to receive my earnings and continue growing my business.
I would like to request that Beacons add support for more payout methods for creators in Kenya and other African countries, such as Paystack, M-Pesa, bank transfers, Flutterwave, or other regional payment providers.
Many talented creators in Africa depend on Beacons, but limited payout options make it difficult for us to continue using the platform.
Please consider expanding your payout options so creators in Kenya can continue building sustainable online businesses.
Thank you for listening to our feedback and supporting creators around the world.

Add Direct Bank Transfers for International Creators
Hello Beacons Team,
I'm a creator based in Namibia, running a small digital business called The Momhood Collective.
Unfortunately, I cannot fully use Beacons Store because PayPal and Stripe are not accessible payment options for my situation.
I'd like to request direct bank transfers and regional payment providers as alternative payment options for creators and customers in countries like Namibia.
Many talented African creators want to sell on Beacons but are limited by payment accessibility.
Please consider making Beacons more inclusive by allowing creators to receive payments directly into their local bank accounts.
