Yes, you need a PayPal or Stripe account to start receiving payments. The main benefits are the community and publishing features. You can share rewards or exclusive content with your supporters.

Also, a significant portion of the activity that we see is driven by gratitude. People love supporting a creator and leaving a positive note.

When I started using buy me a coffee(6 months ago?), the payment portal was Payoneer. Is my payment portal still valid or I need to migrate to Paypal/Stripe?

It is still valid, but we'd recommend connecting PayPal or Stripe for all these new features like instant payouts :)
