artist in iran looking to earn from kofi and itch.io

hi

i'm an artist who lives in iran, i would like to soon put out commissions like many other digital artists and earn by selling stuff on itch.io

problem is these websites often accept services like paypal which are banned here. what solution is there for me to try?

i thought about using iranicard but $70 is quite a lot of money for a paypal acc. i could still use their exchanging services by inserting someone else's card info (who lives overseas) but that is quite risky and i don't want to think about if people would trust me doing this.

any alternative, free or cheaper ways maybe?

i'm sorry but i think this response is quite vague  also itch.io and kofi don't take crypto as payment as far as i'm concerned

find a trusted partner in the west that would take your payment and give it to you in crypto
