Maybe give them a nice Twitter brag button? :p (Maybe that's overkill 😅)

Not sure what you mean exactly but I did once mention someone like "@mike just saved 20 bucks- be like Mike"

I think it has become too much and I see it as disingenuous if it isn't interpersonal communication. Emojis are like salt, too much and it is ruined.

Yeah! If you have any trouble or have questions, hit me up. :) I've done this quite a few times and love monetization.

You should be able to. The frontend bit is just a JS file you include then write all of the token stuff and it runs on the frontend, then the token can be passed back through an API call just like any other API call done on the frontend.

Great!

You don't need PHP. You can use JS as well. There are a number of languages supported.

And there isn't really a way to do recurring subscriptions without coding. You have to take in CC info on the frontend, send a request to Stripe's servers, receive a token back and then send that token to your backend to create the subscription.

nice one - thanks for the info. I think I can't use netlify then if I need to do that.

Do use them. And have a backend somewhere else to store the related stuff to whatever processing you need to.

If you are mostly targeting US, Stripe.

It is well-documented and works well.

Even if you are targeting other countries, Stripe will likely still work fine. They support quite a few countries.

If you don't have access to Stripe then try Paddle.

I'm trying to move away from Paddle. While it's good for start, it has a lot of limitations that can really slow down the business once it starts to scale.

If Stripe is not available in your country you can try Braintree or Paymill in EU. Paymill however requires a lot of paperwork and activating your account can take weeks (I've been there).

Paddle can't be used for payments of services. Only downloadables or SAAS.

I think it should be encouraged. I would feel honored if someone decided my idea was cool enough to remix and would love to see their feedback... then I would look at their product and put those features in mine. ;)

Plus (friendly) competition never hurt.

I think common sense security is your best bet. I am doubtful anyone is going to be doing anything too sophisticated to my site, and honestly if they do, good job. All about understand the threats relative to your current state.

HTTPS, can't inject script or SQL, can't use endpoints w/o authentication, hashing passwords.
