How much for a Stripe full integration?

[BigSerge]

Hello,

How much would cost to fully integrate Stripe on a SMF forum, version 2.0.19? It needs to work like paypal is working.

Members need to be able to pay for one time payments or recurring subscriptions, monthly, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, using Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bancontact, EPS, giropay, iDEAL, Sofort, Klarna, and SEPA direct debit. I already have all these payment methods enabled on my Stripe account.

Thank you.

Since no one responded here, I went to Fiverr, and a guy there did a full Stripe integration for $150. It works just like paypal.

It did the job well on the first try, and integrated cards, Klarna, SEPA, BanContact, Sofort, Giropay and Google Pay.

If anyone needs it, you can send me a PM and I'll tell you who the guy is.

I'd be interested. I'd also be interested in if the author is willing to licence it out so that it could be released to everyone.

[vbgamer45]

Yeah, that was a great deal.

[BigSerge]

Ok, I will send him a message there, but, it is night on his country now, so it may take a few hours until he replies.

I contacted several guys there, and I had prices of $700, $500, $350, $200 and $150(this guy). I read through his reviews of past work, and I was sure he would be able to do the job. I am happy.

Please do note that there would be no expectation of support on the author. I'd be on board with dealing with the support, I'm just too lazy to implement it from scratch myself

Ok, noted. So the licence you talked about above is to you? Could you please clarify, so I tell him as detailed as possible?

[Arantor]

Ideally I'd like it released under the same licence as the SMF codebase - he would own the copyright but anyone would be able to use it.

I'm thinking I'd package it as a mod and release in the mod site and deal with support for it, with a view to submitting to the core SMF repository so it would at some point become standard. But that requires it be under the same legal licence as SMF.

[BigSerge]

Understood. But in that case what would be his profit? He would own the copyright, but, if anyone would be able to use it(I guess for free), I do not know if he will be interested. But anyway, lets see what he says.

[Arantor]

So if he's hoping to sell it over and over that *might* work for him but honestly most coders who do this kind of work get paid and move on.

In this case I'd be prepared to give him more money (potentially more than $150) for the rights to do this. I'm not made of money and I will not just pay "whatever" but if he's willing to sell the rights to this for an amount I'm prepared to pay, then I'll pay him for his work and then release it to the community.

Then again maybe it's not worth the hassle in trying to negotiate this and I should just write the integration myself already. Been putting it off thus far.

[vbgamer45]

Agreed with above. Others might chip in/donate too as well. Lets see what he says.

I have no idea what he wants, but, I know that the people on Fiverr usually work there for years. They have several Gigs(offers) there.

He has 3 Gigs. In one he offers Stripe integration, another to integrate Square, and another to build a website.

I think people offer what they have experience with. 

[Arantor]

OK, so that's a non-starter in that case. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

[BigSerge]

Anyway he cannot respond on Fiverr because it is not allowed. I think Fiverr controls the messages, because they get 20% commission and we cannot exchange email, phone, etc.

I just wrote "emailed", and immediately a warning showed up below. He can have his account banned and me too. The only thing he was able to say was something that is not against Fiverr rules, to give his Fiverr profile, and if anyone here wants to have Stripe integrated for $150, register there, hit the "Contact Me" button on his profile, and tell him that you want Stripe integrated on your SMF forum, like he did to bigserge(this is my username there too) .

I let here the link, but, if it is not allowed, please delete it, and if anyone is interested, send me a PM, and I will give you the link.

I can only say he did a great job, and for a great price.

Thanks sent him a message.

[BigSerge]

You are welcome.
