@dshan Mailchimp VERY soon (week or so). Wordpress... we have something big already done and waiting there.. announcement soon! (so, the answer there is YES)
Hey @drewwilson. Congrats on the relaunch!
You mentioned that with Quixly and Spacebox you were "never able to get the business model right, or make money from it."
What are you doing differently with Plasso?
@mijustin Hey Justin! With Quixly I was charging based on your storage usage and such.. cuz it was 2010 and thats what was up lol! Also, it was a purely digital delivery product, and that turned out to be a small market (smallest portion of Plasso usage in fact).
With Spacebox I had a free plan, and was charging to create more than two 'Spaces' (payment pages). The free plan didn't work well in converting people to the larger plan, they could just create another account.
Plasso works because there is no free plan, yet you don't have to pay anything to use it. The 'Basic' plan has no monthly/yearly fee. It's just an additional transaction fee. So you only 'pay' when you make money. Works out fantastic. Because you can upgrade to a plan that bills you monthly in exchange for a lower transaction fee.
@drewwilson Awesome - do you have examples of how people are using it? If someone had a SaaS product. Would using plasso make sense? Is there an API that could retrieve membership status?
@mscccc@drewwilson we used it as an exceptionally light alternate to shopify when we wanted to process payments for specific events or offer 1 time deals to test products. So we used it as a landing page layer on top of stripe that took 5 mins to set up, but appears the offerings have expanded significantly since then. without a true "Shopify for SaaS" that's the direction I'm most excited about
Congrats on the launch fellow stay at home dad @drewwilson :) Great to see Plasso evolve, even in early days there was no better dead-simple payment landing page
.@sarahrubs and I have been using Plasso since we started our monthly subscription box, @ArtSnacks. @Drewwilson and his team have built an incredible system making it so easy for us to run our business. Woo!
@leerubenstein@sarahrubs@artsnacks thanks so much Lee! Myself and the rest of the team are super inspired by what you and Sarah have done (and are doing) with ArtSnacks!
I've been using Plasso for the last few years and it's super clean and easy to setup and use. I've yet to find anything else like it that hooks up to Stripe and embeds within a website without any whacky code.

@daverad Aside from the membership/subscription product, we also have a Storefront product for one-off physical/digital goods. We even have an Invoice product that supports both one-off and recurring invoices. We're building a platform that is powerful enough to run all your sales and payments through :)
@surjithctly Hey! anyone can pay with a Credit Card.. no Stripe required π Stripe is only required if you want to sell something (it acts as your merchant account).
@chezacke Stripe is an API and a payment platform for developers to build stuff with. Plasso is built on Stripe (PayPal and Apple Pay coming soon). Stripe just handles the payment portion. Plasso does more. Plasso handles the UI, customer management, billing, communication (emails) and more. You don't need to write a single line of code (or copy/paste anything) with Plasso. Take a look at our Membership product: https://plasso.com/membership to learn a bit more.
@drewwilson@chezacke This could not be better timing! I was about to sign up for Stripe assuming it handled the the things you laid out for Plasso. Looks like I'll need to give both of them a shot.
@drewwilson I'm currently on Woocommerce / Woosubscription. Will this replace it? Honestly trying to get away from Woocommerce, will this be able to replace it?
@alexanderisora hey! The main difference is that what Gumroad does (digital delivery) is just one of Plasso's many features. Plasso does much more, and right now we're focused on making subscription/membership as easy as a couple clicks :)
Wow just wow, an awesome and much needed product especially the 'Membership'
Questions:
1) Can we have a pages with menu links apart from blog posts in 'Membership'
2) Do you guys report and pay EU VAT on our behalf if the subscribers are from UK and EU
(like its done by Gumroad and Payhip)
Thanks
@tahaqadri Thanks Taha!
1) No, but we have another product in the works (coming soon) that will do that for you π π€
2) Not yet, that is also in the works, but definitely happening.
