You can use our checkout and order system but simply drop out the payment processing. Stripe makes this very easy and while people may not want to do it, by charging them a percentage of each transaction we're almost incentivizing them to do it.

We do need gateway options, each country is different and we're always being asked by users for support of X. I can promise you if we'd been able to stick only Stripe in and use it for everyone, we'd of done it. Our lives would have been so much easier!

And no we wouldn't call it 5% but the store owner would quickly do the math and that's where we'd end up. It's a hard sell, we ran the model past a number of people and it was almost universally rejected.
