What is the best way to build a website for paid newsletter subscriptions?

I am building a website for my mailchimp newsletter. I want to integrate a option that users can buy a monthly subscription for the newsletter (via Stripe and/or Paypal). Is there any service or app build who offers this out-of-the-box?

Of course, i could develop this by myself. But i want to focus on marketing and sales this time and not technology.

    You could try substack - not sure how they play with Mailchimp, but it's basically a subscription newsletter platform. Nice founders as well.

    You could try something like https://carrd.co/ or you could use https://ghost.org/ and just set up a site. I think you might have some coding to put the stripe in.

    Hey Sven,

    What I would do personally is use SamCart (if you message them and ask for a lower price they'll give it to you) as it allows you to add a tag in your email service after someone buys.

    Then once the tag is added you just start an automation in ActiveCampaign or otherwise that either adds them to a campaign or sends them certain emails.

    Hope this makes sense.
