What's the leanest way of implementing this payment process?
I'm trying to validate an idea for a newsletter that contains one-of-a-kind products sold by third parties. Is there an easy way of adding a payment system that lets buyers 'Request to buy' (like Airbnb's 'Request to book')?
The flow would look like this:
- User enters payment details and clicks 'Request to buy'
- If the product is still available, I initiate a process that charges the card
- If the product is unavailable, the buyer is notified
Eventually there'll be a Stripe setup, but I'm trying to move quickly and avoid too much code for now.
Thanks!
It would be ideal to write a simple app that automates this, but otherwise you could receive the details of a request using Zapier or something like Formspree. This is assuming that you will be there to personally take these requests via email, Slack, or whatever. Then if the product is available you can send them back a request for a Stripe payment with a SuperPay link.
