@chezacke Stripe is an API and a payment platform for developers to build stuff with. Plasso is built on Stripe (PayPal and Apple Pay coming soon). Stripe just handles the payment portion. Plasso does more. Plasso handles the UI, customer management, billing, communication (emails) and more. You don't need to write a single line of code (or copy/paste anything) with Plasso. Take a look at our Membership product: https://plasso.com/membership to learn a bit more.

@chezacke oh! and thanks a ton for asking :)

@drewwilson @chezacke This could not be better timing! I was about to sign up for Stripe assuming it handled the the things you laid out for Plasso. Looks like I'll need to give both of them a shot.

@ztyler @chezacke please do! and let me know if you need any help :) Thanks!

@_holt wooo! Thanks Rich!! Stoked you like it :)

@anthony_stylianou Hey Anthony, I'll let Drew answer the rest of your questions but regarding geo-location, I'm based in Sweden and I'm using Plasso without any problems so it's definitely outside US too :)

@anthony_stylianou Hey Anthony! All of the above. Our Storefront product enables you to sell any physical/digital products (one-off sales, pre-orders and donations). Our Membership product enables you to sell subscriptions/memberships. Our Invoice product lets you send one-off or recurring invoices to your clients/customers. Our Pay Me product makes it super quick/easy for anyone to pay you for anything. Read more about em here: https://plasso.com/storefront https://plasso.com/membership https://plasso.com/invoice https://plasso.com/payme

@antonsten @anthony_stylianou oh! Thanks! I forgot to answer this part of the question :) YEP! We're available anywhere Stripe is available: https://help.plasso.com/what-cou...

@drewwilson very cool! Looking forward for the forthcoming Paypal and Apple Pay features. Ehm, spotted a typo in the homepage on the Storefront card, it's written "digtal goods" ;)

@mrdobelina ack! thanks :)

@mscccc Hey! You can checkout the Market page: https://plasso.com/market It might take a min to load.. having tech issues with that page right now lol. But Mike Perham is a great example of someone using Plasso to power their SaaS: http://sidekiq.org http://www.mikeperham.com/2015/1...

@mscccc oh and there is currently no API, but we do have a product better targeted at SaaS coming out soon 😀🤐

@mscccc @drewwilson we used it as an exceptionally light alternate to shopify when we wanted to process payments for specific events or offer 1 time deals to test products. So we used it as a landing page layer on top of stripe that took 5 mins to set up, but appears the offerings have expanded significantly since then. without a true "Shopify for SaaS" that's the direction I'm most excited about

@mslagh @mscccc YES!!

@alexanderisora hey! The main difference is that what Gumroad does (digital delivery) is just one of Plasso's many features. Plasso does much more, and right now we're focused on making subscription/membership as easy as a couple clicks :)

@leerubenstein @sarahrubs @artsnacks thanks so much Lee! Myself and the rest of the team are super inspired by what you and Sarah have done (and are doing) with ArtSnacks!

@mijustin Hey Justin! With Quixly I was charging based on your storage usage and such.. cuz it was 2010 and thats what was up lol! Also, it was a purely digital delivery product, and that turned out to be a small market (smallest portion of Plasso usage in fact). With Spacebox I had a free plan, and was charging to create more than two 'Spaces' (payment pages). The free plan didn't work well in converting people to the larger plan, they could just create another account. Plasso works because there is no free plan, yet you don't have to pay anything to use it. The 'Basic' plan has no monthly/yearly fee. It's just an additional transaction fee. So you only 'pay' when you make money. Works out fantastic. Because you can upgrade to a plan that bills you monthly in exchange for a lower transaction fee.

@tahaqadri Thanks Taha! 1) No, but we have another product in the works (coming soon) that will do that for you 😁 🤐 2) Not yet, that is also in the works, but definitely happening.

@sicnarftea it can indeed replace it! give it a whirl :)

@fishsander Thanks Sander! PayPal is coming in the new year (January most likely). Switching from Stripe to PayPal would be easy if you're already using Plasso, since all your customer data is stored with us 🙂 (except for the credit cards). If you're not already using Plasso, we are going to be building some import tools as well to make that process easy.

@drewwilson That's great to hear! We're not using Plasso yet, but I'll definitely look in to it when PayPal support is there. Thanks!

@fishsander Thanks!! If you want to know when PayPal support launches.. follow us on Twitter or you can subscribe at our blog: https://blog.plasso.com

@mslagh Thanks so much Mike!!

@daverad Aside from the membership/subscription product, we also have a Storefront product for one-off physical/digital goods. We even have an Invoice product that supports both one-off and recurring invoices. We're building a platform that is powerful enough to run all your sales and payments through :)

@arefabedi Not right now, but we are working on that right now.

@surjithctly Hey! anyone can pay with a Credit Card.. no Stripe required 🙂 Stripe is only required if you want to sell something (it acts as your merchant account).

@perte hey hey me too! :)

@danielrubin109 Thanks for signing up! We'll also be adding PayPal soon :) So you might be able to use it via PayPal if you want.

@joshdance Thanks for the question! I answered this a bit earlier, here ya go: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
