Using Jekyll as the CMS for my items and GitHub Pages for the hosting I am able to display my photos for free. Using Stripe on the front-end and an Heroku instance to process the payments, I can process orders without a cost. If you'd like, I can show you bits of my code! :)

  Looks good... Is the full site on git hub?

  Very nice! I'm looking to do a simple store just like this for a physical craft and was considering options. Could you explain or link more to how you used Heroku?

    Yes! Since GitHub Pages dosen't let me run actual code (can't use it as a full-stack server, only to show html pages), I use heroku to actualy process the payment (Stripe on GitHub Pages captures the infos and send it using POST to my heroku instance). My heroku instance runs heroku-stripe-checkout (https://github.com/christophercliff/heroku-stripe-checkout https://github.com/christophercliff/heroku-stripe-checkout) but it's a bit outdated and I made some changes (to support shipping and the new Stripe API), which I described here : https://github.com/christophercliff/heroku-stripe-checkout/issues/3#issuecomment-151134399 https://github.com/christophercliff/heroku-stripe-checkout/i...

Merci de nous avoir montré votre projet, Jacob ! Ça semble très cool. Je pense qu’il serait meilleur de partager votre code ici, la communauté sur HN ne volera surtout pas votre code ! (Je m'excuse si mon francais n'est pas sans faute, il faut que je le pratique.) -- Thank you for showing us your project, Jacob ! It looks really cool. I think it would be better to share your code here as the HN community HN won’t be stealing your code!
