Consider PayPal subscriptions. You don't have to set up a merchant account and costs are comparable to setting up a merchant account with a bank. Accumulated revenues can be transferred to any bank account via ACH.

LWN, credit cards, and subscriptions

You obviously haven't been following this saga for very long. The whole
reason that LWN wants to find a credit card merchanting company is that
they don't *want* to force their subscribers to have PayPal accounts.
Originally, LWN *did* set up a PayPal donation service, but many readers
complained that they didn't want to have to set up a PayPal account just
to donate to LWN.
