Payment solutions
Fountain currently only support Paddle Billing to handle payment. Down the road, Fountain will support more platforms where it makes sense and core functionality is supported.
By replicating the PaddleClient class, there’s the possibility to write your own for another platform. But Paddle works differently compared to "the others".
Why Paddle
Paddle is a Merchant Of Record, basically the take care of all the tax stuff for you. That’s quite handy if youre starting your business.
Paddle is quite unique compared to other MoR. Correct me if Im wrong, but e.g. Lemonsqueezy requires you to have all the products and variants in Lemonsquesy. Paddle doesn’t.
So, you have a font with 2 different entities – web and dekstop — each with 5 different levels. 10 products. And then you have 5 weights, that’s 50 products.
Paddle Billing
Fountain talks to the Paddle API via the PaddleClient class. It’s a custom class written for Fountain.
Sign up now
If you’re considering using Fountain, you should sign up now for Paddle. The process could take some time before being approved as a vendor.
Paddle Classic
There’s a version of Fountain made for Paddle Classic, but I don’t recommend you to use it. Since it expose more data sent to Paddle, everything was encrypted and that put a limit on how many items the cart could hold.
