I'm struggling with the payment system

Hi,

I'm working on the project in automotive niche that helps users to sell their services more efficiently. I have some troubles with the payment provider because the polish ones don't fit my needs.

Basically I need to implement two major functionalities:

  • charging customers monthly (which isn't a problem),
  • allow customers to receive payments for their services (they get ready-to-use website, where they can sell their services)

I was wondering if there is somebody who has already implemented similar functionality and can share some tips or knowledge. I think it should be possible with stripe, but I don't have enough experience in this field yet.

In addition Stripe isn't available in my country so I will have to register a company in US in order to use it, so I don't know if it's a good solution for me.

Thanks in advance for all answers!

    What about just using PayPal? Not the smoothest experience for users, but easy enough for you to implement. Heard good stuff about Ikajo and Paddle, but never used them.

      Hey, thanks for your answer! Actually I came up with another idea, I will just setup one Stripe account for all payments, and if my registered user sells some service then I will send the money manually to its bank account. I will think about better approach if I get more traction, as for the start it should be ok. What do you think?

        You complicate it for no particular gain.

          Can you explain more why do you think that? I mean I need a way to allow my users to receive payments for their services if somebody buy it via their website. Kind of marketplace but not really.

            You add an extra channel and an extra step into your process.

    Hey Sebastian,

    Had thee same issue when I started https://groupleads.net.

    Wasted time and money looking for a payment system till I discovered paddle UK

    That is what I currently use with group leads and the experience is great, you can do your research before making the final decision.

    I hope this helps.
