It will be interesting to see if you can convince developers to use this because if I understand correctly, you are essentially replacing the need to write server side code to process stripe payments. For developers like me, it would be a hard sell because I have got stripe code running on servers already with my own business logic as needed. A fixed fee of $29 or $49/Month plus additional 1% of each charge will not be worth it for developers like me.

For non developers though, I think it will be a great fit but then you will be competing with similar services like paddle etc.

That's correct. When I said developers, I primarily front-end developers who don't write backend code. People who are able to build static websites and usually make them interactive with plugins, extensions and services.

I need to think how I can make Checkout Page interesting for full stack/backend developers. It would then mostly be a time saver, for which the fee is indeed too high.

What kind of pricing structure do you think would work well for a developer like you?

Yeah the percentage seems a bit much considering stripe also takes a percentage.
