Thanks. Yep, just a simple Paypal setup. One of the interesting decisions was not to implement Paypal IPN (automatic upgrading when the payment comes through). My reasoning was that it could have been 4 months before I had the first customer, so I didn't want to implement it until I had validated that the time spent on it was worth it. I could rather spend the time gaining that first customer. So it was a very simple initial integration.

Cool. So you just added some html and javascript which took the user to paypal? No api integration at all ? Smart!

  Exactly. Minimum viable ;)

    Thanks for letting us know this. I've read that this is the right way to go but I've never seen a writeup of someone who was successful doing this. This has seriously pushed me over the edge onto customer development.
