How Wizard of Oz your payment system
Payment systems are complicated. As mentioned in an earlier post by @Benlkatz:

Payment systems can be faked. You can fake a payment by sending PayPal invoices.
Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions for a quick payment solution in MVPs?

I'm sure you already have, but I assume you've looked at tools like Stripe and Paddle? I've found them very easy to set up.
Alternatively, you can always do manual invoicing by sending invoices via email in the beginning if you need to!
I did, might try as the next best thing. Maybe it is less complicated than I assume it to be. But something easier should exist, just as 5 min solution.
Stripe is pretty quick to set up. It gets tricky tying account states to subscription statuses, but if you just need a way to collect a payment their payment links are very straightforward and quick!
Subscription is my way to go, I am just going to take an extra few days to fully implement payments. It is pretty important after all.
