Hi!
I think I hit the wall of making my indie app, and I need help 🙏
I want to set up a paywall in my website, so an online checkout is needed. I reside in a country that Stripe doesn't support and PayPal recently permanently banned my account for no reason when I tried to create a business account.
With all this info, can you recommend a platform to easily insert a cart embed into the website and start geting payments? Also, an important point is how easy does this platform make you the payouts?
Mollie if you're in Europe. It is too beneficial to use .
All three have easy embeds and reasonable payout timelines. Mollie is probably
the smoothest experience.
But here's what everyone misses: after you get payments flowing, you'll lose
revenue to failed transactions. Most don't recover them.
Smart retry + customer notification can save 70-80% of that loss.
Where are you located?
Stripe-like alternatives to consider:
Depending on the type of product you have, you can also sell it on Gumroad
Thank you for the ideas!
It's been two days since @allison_m suggested Lemon Squeezy and I successfully added them to my website. For now everything looks cool!
I've been using Lemon Squeezy. I use it as an external checkout but you can use it as a cart overlay on your website. Another alternative is Paddle. It seems to be liked by many people!
I believe both websites give you monthly payments vs. each invoice. Here's a thread I found useful when doing my own research:
Thanks, will research them!
I used to work with Adyen and I think it is a good alternative to Stripe.
Don't they accept only big companies?
I heard about https://www.getrevin.com/ which is basically a wrapper over Stripe.
2 things I like about Revin are:
-They handle taxes
-They work in countries where Stripe isn't working
Paddle is good option
Adyen & Checkout.com would be perfect alternative to Stripe I guess! However, regardless of what platform you choose, be sure to check the Community Guidelines!
You can also incorporate your company in a country supported by Stripe or PayPal (e.g. USA)
Before we get into the best alternatives, it’s important to have a working knowledge of what PayPal is and how it works. Understanding its basic functions allows us to better evaluate alternatives. PayPal can help you exchange cash with other individuals or donate to charity. PayPal also has diverse uses for businesses, which can accept PayPal as a payment method on their e-commerce sites and even implement PayPal invoicing features if needed. We consider PayPal a great credit card processor for low-volume transactions. If you are looking for alternatives to PayPal, for either personal or business use, it’s important to understand what you want from it. And also we need to know the alternative, the example of this is a Paysafe company, this payment method is a lot like PayPal. Skrill has both U.S. and European clients, which makes it particularly valuable if you’re spending money in Europe and the U.S. Much like PayPal, Skrill makes security a big focus.

I got the same a few days ago, lucky me that I didn't start to transact with them. I'm trying paddle but looks like verification takes a few weeks.
