This is very awesome! Well done! Seeing how these sponsors can have success like this is inspiring; just wish we weren't blocked (by Stripe) from going this route :(
I'm working on the upcoming release (hopefully by the end of this month) which will make it a lot easier to add stripe-like checkout systems, so you can have a donation page or even "sell" sponsorship packages.
And yes, to get it on github [1] sponsors was a royal pain. Github/Stripe kept denying my application because they thought I was asking for crypto payments.

Why not crypto? Seems pretty good for a problem like yours.
Why not other stripe-like providers which financial backing/integrations aren't run by american prudish double standard will deal with the cartel but not with a legal pot seller banks.
You've mollie which is very stripe-like and from the netherlands, sure there's more possibility they allow you than others.
Stripe is bringing crypto a la coinbase soon, could you use that with them?
My industry does not have wide support for crypto payments (which is a surprise); it's still difficult to turn it back into USD (eg: crypto.com, coinbase.com don't allow it).
We do accept some crypto payments but it mostly stays in the crypto space; until get to pay someone else that takes it. It's a PITA for taxes however.
In USA our payments are handled by typical banks/providers (except the one mentioned here). It's not like we're totally blocked.
