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.

The initial integration of Paddle into Domain is now complete. I’m happy with how it turned out.
Now the only (“only” he says) bit left is reimplementing the provisioning and setup of Small Web servers running Kitten (or Kitten apps).
It‘s getting there…
@aral It looks great in all its "simplicity".
Love the minimal style!
@aral At what point would you say that it's stable enough to build a full test case with? (for instance a new version of my band's website). For fun, and testing.
@ff0000 I’d say you can play with Kitten for that right now (and please report any issues if you run into any while you do) but until Domain is ready, deployment won’t be easy.
@aral Well good thing i don't have a lot of free time at the moment, so i won't be able to do full pen tests and e2e tests, but once i have i will of course share any issues. :)
@ff0000 Thanks; that’ll be hugely useful, appreciate it :)
