Out of interest, why did you go down the avenue of hacking together your own system to handle subscriptions? Surely you've limited yourself like you've said you have to build out every time you want to attach another payment method like paypal - Is this not more expensive than looking into a Merchant of Record handling these complexities for you?

There must be some sort of miscommunication here. My (SaaS) subscription system is vanilla Stripe without abstraction. My (single-purchase, tshirt) system was an abstraction across Stripe and PayPal.

I can only imagine the elevated pain of abstracting across multiple subscription systems. Ouch.

My bad must have been a miscommunication here. I was about to expand on those key differences between payment gateways vs Merchant of Records. http://bit.ly/2Us1OWM - Could still be an interesting read as it explores those key elements of what you have to juggle.
