1) you can get it done with paypal and not have $100/mo in fees. 2) paying $100/mo but making less than $100/mo violates the principles of bootstrapping.

- jasonkester 16y agoTo clarify, Paypal is fine for hobby projects, where you don't mind sacrificing a bit of professionalism for a cheap and easy payment solution. And where it's not the end of the world if they freeze your account. You can survive in that mode while your hobby transitions into something that brings in a few hundred dollars a month and pays for your beer. But once you graduate to a real business, you need to get a real payment processor. It's not a step you can skip, and it will cost you $100/month.
- noodle 16y agoi don't disagree, i'm just pointing out that the space between $0 revenue and a few hundred bucks doesn't have a better solution. everyone has to start somewhere.
