Ask IH: Should we pivot to...?

Hi IH,

A small team of us in Philly created Port this past summer/fall as a tool for local brick & mortar businesses to create membership and subscription programs. We've been selling it door to door style, and, have decided we need to change something (sales not successful enough).

We're thinking about removing all parts of Port that have to do with passes and redemptions and instead focus it on being an easy to use, well designed, affordable, embeddable payments button capable of recurring billing. Handles the member account and subscription reminder emails too. Also has a nifty way to do conditional discounting.

One of the communities I envision might use such a product is this one. Could people here see hacking together an MVP with Carrd, Airtable, Zapier, and Port (to handle recurring payments)? There are solutions like Chargify or Stripe, but is there space for a no-code solution as part of a bootstrapper's toolbelt?

Our current product can be seen here: sellwithport.com
