Anyone here know anyone from Paddle that you can put me in touch with? (Or share your experience with them?)
I’m reconsidering whether Stripe is the right solution for the initial payments option in Domain (https://codeberg.org/domain/app) or whether it makes more sense (and would be easier for folks who want to run their own Domain instances and become Small Web hosts) if I integrated a Merchant of Record (MoR) solution instead.
Right, so I signed up with Paddle and with FastSpring (also a merchant of record) and I don’t think Paddle is going to work as you can’t create subscription plans via their API. In FastSpring you can so I’m going to continue to looking at that. So, to update my query:
Anyone know anyone at FastSpring they can introduce me to or have any experiences with them they can share with me?
(I may still end up going with #Stripe.)
Thanks!
I’m sure you’re all riveted to hear my next niche micro-update on finding a payment solution to integrate into #Domain¹ but I’m actually reconsidering #Paddle. The more I think about it, the less custom logic there is in Domain to handle payment providers the better. A very lightweight abstraction over embedding a #payment form and handling #webhooks should make it easier to add others in the future at the cost of more setup in the payment provider itself.
Yep, it looks like I’m going with Paddle (https://paddle.com) as the first supported payment system for Domain*.
(Barring any issues with getting our use case approved.)
So, asking again: does anyone know anyone that works at #Paddle? Would love to talk to them about what we’re trying to do with the Small Web and Kitten ** and Domain and hopefully have them support our use case.

@aral have you looked at https://www.lemonsqueezy.com it is on my list to look at and looks like a similar but younger paddle
@Sdevore My eventual goal is to support multiple so it’s on my list too. But need to start with one :)
