Is there an easy way of providing commercial licences? Has anybody had experiences with this?

I've seen Super Source (https://supso.org/), which I think used to be called Supported Source (https://supportedsource.org). It seems to make providing commercial licenses easy. But their website is pretty bare. Do people usually just roll their own with Square or Stripe? I've found it hard to get search results on this at all.

If somebody is going to be paying you more than $1000, they'll contact you about it. You don't need to automate the license payments; you just need to check your email.

From my experience, RLM is one option that is widely used for this. FlexLM is another one.
