Hello all, I’m considering Ghost for my SaaS, I saw that Stripe is the only payment method, are there any plans to add PayPal, because in Europe Creditcards not used so much in the non-business world(normal middle class). This would mean a huge loss of potential customers. Also, it is a must-have for every Membership shop to have the option for creating Coupons that we can give out, is this possible?
Thanks
This seems a not so professional solution because the Member system of Ghost and this PP Buttons have no connection or have they?
According to the integration guide, the connection happens using Zapier:
Zapier automatically creates new Members in Ghost each time someone makes a successful sale from your PayPal buttons:
This is useful if you’d prefer to use PayPal as a payment provider instead of Stripe, or if you want to create one-off payments as well as subscriptions.
Yeah but then I depend again on one more app “Zapier”, I would love to see coming everything from the product I use “Ghost”. However, this is a general issue in the serverless/headlessCMS/BaaS market every single one is missing a proper way of monetizing App/Website with subscriptions and also have Stripe/PayPal & Coupon management, Ghost is however the one cms that comes closest to this but still, most features are missing what a successfully App/WebApp monetization needs, you still need a lot of patch-work and third-party tools like Zapier what I don’t want to depend on. This is exactly the reason why people still use WordPress, because Woo is so flexible and strong.
Stripe accepts debit cards, that are used everywhere in europe, i don’t really get your premise
The percentage of people actually use them to buy stuff online is very small, PayPal is nr.1 in Europe
