few questions

how does this differ from stripe? does it charge extra on top of stripe? What is the justification for the price increase? I don't see what else this offers besides stripe does. For me, I focus on subscriptions.

What is the template being used on the website and where can I get it?




I think it's meant for non-coders who don't feel comfortable using Stripe directly... similar to Gumroad, Selluno, Sellfy, etc.


Right! And for those people who do not want to spend the time coding/maintaining their own system.


It looks like it charges $.50 on top of Stripe. When you work with Stripe you still have to write a little bit of code to request the charge from your backend. SnappyCheckout looks to be a wrapper around Stripe (and Paypal) that takes care of that extra code you would normally have to write.


And it's more convenient than trying to use Stripe & PayPal separately. There are also features (like fraud detection, digital delivery, etc.) that Stripe & PayPal do not offer -- and probably never will.
