Ask HN: Recommend a payment platform for my saas project?

4 points by busymichael ↗ HN
I'm ready to add subscriptions to my consumer saas project. It is a Gmail addon accessed through a web app and chrome extension.

I have a fremium model, with multiple levels of upgrades.

Can anyone recommend a solid payment platform that a one person dev can implement with minimal fuss?

I need subscription support (monthly, annual), security, and straightforward apis. Also, I don't want to store any card numbers in my app.

Is anyone using chargify to handle the account management part? I like the feature set but it gets expensive as you scale. I could spend time upfront to code those features myself.

My app is written in Python running on Google app engine.

Thank you.

Chargebee looks interesting, also gumroad. How about stripe?
Yep. Looking to use Chargebee + Stripe for my Saas offering later this year.
Needs Stripe? I thought it was a standalone solution, thanks
Thanks for Chargebee recommendation. It looks fully featured and much cheaper than chargify.
