https://extensionpay.com — A really simple way for browser extension developers to take payments in their extensions. I made it to use in my own extensions since it's a pain in the butt to take payments in browser extensions.

It has an open source library that works across all browsers and allows for one-time or subscription payments. Since 2021 developers have made over $125k with ExtensionPay which makes me happy :)

Great way to solve a problem! For those that may be curious. Author said devs using Extension Pay have made $125k in 2021. They charge 5% on transactions which translates to $6250, roughly $520 per month. Perfect candidate for this thread.

I've been using extensionpay for one of my extensions and have no complaints so far.

I've been loving that extension, thanks for the good work!

i've def thought of using this before, but couldn't quite figure out if i trusted it.

so far, nope!

i appreciate that the site looks clean/barebones, but the logo is _so_ barebones -- just text -- that i thought... oh, this is just unsupported, someone thought of doing it, good idea, but then it didn't make any money, so they bailed, no harm no foul, wonder if someone else will do it b/c it's really needed.

i've had various extensions over the years that i wanted to build out, or pay someone else to build out, but there was no way to recoup my investment.

maybe i'll give it another look.

I love this app. Although I couldn’t not use because of Stripe but its really nice.

why so?

So cool!
