I have created a lot of accounts on many different payment gateways including lemonsqueeay, paypal etc. Now I realize, it was just a waste of giving information to those companies as I do not use them at all. Paypal even suspended my account permanently.
I came across this platform called dodopayments, and it wasn't very strict on completing kyc for accepting your first dollar. I know that it will not let me withdraw money unless kyc is done. I was very confused as to what everyone does regarding this?
What do you do commonly with these payment gateways?

I have developed a few saas. Most of which were AI based saas and they needed AI to produce output. I wanted to run lifetime deals on those saas, but there was a problem that for how long can I sustain those users? I have been through a lot of lifetime deals platform to see if those were good fit for my saas. Then there came another problem for me. All of those platforms were taking a minimum of 40% sale commission while asking me to heavily discount the listing price.
For me, those platforms were charging way more than I expected initially. Then I realized that it would be a disaster for me if I ever launched my saas on these platform. I also came to know that there were people known as power users, and these people tend to exploit your application and its features.
I also was confused whethe providing lifetime deals directly to the users of your saas would be good? But, the question here still arises - For how long can you sustain these users as your api bill will be there for you every month for the rest of your life?

So, did you ever plan for lifetime deals? Or would you ever go with lifetime deals?

I think one of the interesting things about vibe coding is how quickly you can end up with something that works.

As a product designer, I used to spend more time figuring out how something should work before seeing it in action.

Now I can build a working version with AI much earlier in the process.

But there s something I ve started paying more attention to.
