Love the simplicity of this, takes like 2 minutes to get setup. What's plan for SA currency?

@shannonmarymac Thanks Shannon - spent some time on the onboarding! ZAR + Snapscan is next on the list if enough people are using the service to sell Gift Vouchers. I really wanted to launch with this but with my skills the PayPal + USD route was much easier than a local payment gateway. Watch this space!

@graeme_fulton Appreciate it Graeme! Been a rewarding build man. I'm all up for questions if you have. Kinda chuffed I pulled this off with WordPress TBCH.

@robhope Yeah WordPress is really flexible actually - I use it for a back end of my react apps, then query the REST API. I have loads of tricks to write up about that.. I really want to explore the blocks editor API too! Would def love to find out more about how you used WP

@graeme_fulton hey Graeme - just shared this with Scott M now - so it's all sitting on a a WordPress Multisite (perhaps a bit excessive but was easier to separate each users form settings without a ton of hacking) with two WordPress plugins doing the hard work behind the scenes: ACF (free version) and Gravity Forms (developer license with about 3 add-ons used). I outsourced some form settings JS (duplicating some form submit actions into other forms) but spent maybe ~150hrs on the design, dev, comms, branding, testing etc. Then it's just CloudFlare up front with Flywheel taking care of the rest on my One Page Love hosting account - so not paying anything additional there. So expenses low. The signup form and the PayPal settings form in the dashboard is Gravity Forms. The Profile form and the Voucher settings form is ACF. Dirty I know but ACF just plays so nicely and a breeze to display in frontend. Think that's about it - happy with the effort/cost for the MVP and will only invest more time and money if $xx,xxx goes through the system:)

@robhope Ah cool, thanks for sharing! Does multisite mean each user gets their own minisite? so for example, it's possible they could have their own users?

@graeme_fulton Yes, their own WP setup basically, but I've restricted and hidden everything for now. Gotta keep UI super simple!

@noeltock Noel! Cheers dude! So it's a WordPress Multisite with two WordPress plugins doing the work behind the scenes: ACF (free) and Gravity Forms (developer license). Outsourced a lil JS sauce to smoothen the operation but spent maybe ~150hrs on the design, dev, comms, branding, testing etc. Tech wise - just CloudFlare up front with Flywheel taking care of the rest on my One Page Love account. I'm thinking IMGIX for images but not just yet. So expenses low. Just my time it took - the whole of lockdown. No regrets as it's helping people. Quite chuffed actually!

@james_robertson2 thanks James! I love making videos like this, wish I knew how to make animations tho. Maybe one day. But yes, maybe years of frustration on bad videos led me to make these to-the-point ones ha. I actually made a video for Squarespace last month that's similar with a post-edit audio layer. Just a smoother experience!

@nicholas_haralambous Thank you Nic - appreciate the comment, I was actually planning to launch a week ago but decided to work more on sign up and flow! Hoping to invest more into a ZAR integration if there is enough traction on this USD launch. Also originally planned for a SnapScan local launch but the PayPal plugin with the form I'm using was easiest to ship and get feedback.
