I should have added that I am using netlify to host the website and I guess I need PHP to use stripe. Is there a way without coding to have recurring payments on stripe?
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.
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!
Yeah! If you have any trouble or have questions, hit me up. :) I've done this quite a few times and love monetization.
I have Google analytics script in the file. I'm going to deploy a new version of the website. I'm guessing the analytics will be fine because it's still the same domain.
Personally, i see these things as a distraction - I prefer things being simple.
I wouldn't feel bad. I think we like to tell ourselves we have these incredible ideas that no one else has. But in reality that's probably not true. Besides, competition is inevitable in business. If it's not you, someone else will compete
Namecheap. Very quick support, good prices, simple website and you aren't supporting a sleazy site like godaddy with stupid ads etc
well it will be for skiers and boarders. I would like to monitise in future a la nomadlist. Telegram is the cool option but its maybe an extra hurdle. (even techies i know haven't heard of it) Maybe can try telegram and slack a/b and see what people use more
to clarify it's for a skiing website - so I would have ads for skiing holiday/ gear etc. So ads that fit the product, not random ads.
thanks for responses everyone ( i couldn't sign in before). I think I might see where my audience is from before putting ads. So if I get lots of Americans i don't want to have a UK affiliate programme ad.

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