i think that it can be good to also have luxcore on blendermarket as an other place for donations and for people to find it.
because a lot of people that are looking for addons will look at blendermarket and/or gumroad and luxcore isn't on any of those. i think it can make luxcore a bit more popular and maybe even more donations. because now you have to do a few steps to donate and there you wont have to look at all for it.

I assume we can not: it would require to BlenderMarket to forward all incomes to LuxCoreRender project on BountySource (or alternative). As far as I know, they support only PayPal.
We (the project) don't really exist as fiscal stand alone entity (i.e. we are not a company or something similar like Blender Foundation).

Even for free assets or plugins, we should do the same process?

I assume the original post was intending to use BlenderMarket as an additional way to collect donations. Anyway, do they allow free stuff to be placed there ? They gain no money so it sounds like something they are not allowing

on blendermarket i think that the min price you can ask for it is $1 but you can link to the github or website where it is free so yes it is allowed. and to distribute the money around the entire team or how you guys would want they do have a option for that it is called add collaborator as seen here
