Stripe doesn't support India yet :( and individuals cannot get donations in our country.. but paying tax is minor issue, need to be able to get money first :-/

Good news: https://stripe.com/blog/india-private-beta We have a lot of users from India, and they use Paypal to receive payments :) Please shoot us an email if you need help with anything - hello [at] buymeacoffee.com Cheers!

waiting for Stripe to open for all :)

regarding paypal, I've only heard of all sorts of complaints using it in India.. guess I'll have to try it myself..
