Revenue Sharing

Im looking for a solution for revenue split thats transparent, inexpensive and large automated to share profits with my cofounder. Where I dont have to set up an LLC and has cross border payment. One idea is to use an affiliate style system and route all payments through that but isnt ideal. Anyone has / knows a better option?

andrew9 3mo

I suppose you could hook up your payment system to something like Make.com (has modules for stripe/wise etc) and just have it automatically send X% of all received payments to another account? might be a bit low tech but could work shrug

Not exactly meant for this purpose, but Stripe Connect is a great product for sharing revenue with different parties.

sadly they dont accept paypal. However I have looked so much for an alternative at this point that im willing to take that.
Btw, couldnt find ONE - no one is directly tackling this use case.
If you want a fintech in 2025 build that. A revenue sharing system to allow to randos in the internet split revenue in a fairly transparent way

isaacdv 2mo

hmm havent thought of that. Interesting...

simjost 2mo

Stripe Connect works with Paypal. For about 2 years now 🙂

i think it would probably even work on their free tier. if you made it run every week or every month instead of on every transaction, you could do it on the free monthly operations

better to do wordpress and woocommerce and connect a next.js saas app to it in a different subdomain and making that woocommerce in some way add the purchases to next.js app.. or just integrating stripe in next.js app?

anomad 2mo

doing wordpress websites is better because I have one person that can't code but can do the wordpress website design etc cause obviously wordpress is easy

anomad 2mo

if I could I would do everything with wordpress (not because I can't code but because it's more usable from the other person), but I need to do custom functionality etc , custom "app" to manage certain things (dashboard like thing that runs certain apis)

anomad 2mo

so I was thinking: I use wordpress for landing page, eventually blog posts for SEO/content, for contact section etc, like the "page" they get linked to.
and then, on a subdomain of the same domain, I make the next.js app

anomad 2mo

the only thing I have to decide is: should I make the person buy on the wordpress side with woocommerce and then "pass" the "credits" (or the result of the purchases) to the next.js app in some way (and which way? do you have any recommendation?)?

or should I just integrate stripe in the next.js app and just don't use woocommerce on wordpress?

anomad 2mo

if I use woocommerce I think the other person could also manage prices and things like that, and I would have the next.js app just as a custom dashboard that runs certain apis and then the apis are on a node.js server that runs certain things that I sell

anomad 2mo

but what do you think about feasibility and what would you do?

anomad 2mo

I know everybody now wants to just use next.js etc and be "cool" but the thing is.. having something that doesn't require code opens more doors for help

anomad 2mo

I just want to know if you think linking the woocommerce purchase to the next.js app on a different subdomain is possible

anomad 2mo

gznpjestfxdwmn what do you think?

anomad 2mo

and do you think I'm taking an undoubtedly wrong path or it's okay to reason like this

anomad 2mo

I don't want to discover again I'm falling behind americans who take Adhd medications, "prescripted" testosterone and use marketing like a lethal weapon

anomad 2mo

I'd like to do good choices this time 😂

anomad 2mo

or maybe there is some way to do custom dashboard with login etc using wordpress and making buttons to run apis etc? I automatically thought that this was a custom app that needed next.js etc

anomad 2mo

ANY ADVICE will be greatly appreciated (imagine me shaking your hand with great appreciation, I will also hold your elbow to emphasize the appreciation)

I am a decent software engineer. Terrible solo entreprenuer. All my attempts have failed to generate value / money. But i have learnt a few things. Specifically for your case, I would say.

Don't get trapped in specifics. Whatever feels easiest now and won't need to be changed for 3 months is the right path.
Unless you have paying customers, in which case, instead of 3 months build something that would not need updating for a year.

anomad 2mo

Okay this is the second case when I have paying customers and I need to build something that would not need updating for a year because I spent two years not scaling/making things more automatic, and then figured out my gf was spending too much time on customer support and we didn't grow as we wanted

vipulvpatil 2mo

Not an american but have worked with a lot of americans. Code quality, clean code, readability are all close to my heart as an engineer. But I have seen far too many terribly written codebases that have successfully generated 6 figure revenues within years.

anomad 2mo

So now I want to make all automatic and then do another business, but I'm also choosing what I will do for the next business

anomad 2mo

Like, the stack i'm building now, i will re-use it for next things

vipulvpatil 2mo

I think you are already way ahead of what I know or have learnt. 🙂

anomad 2mo

I can put a wordpress site online with docker and a vps in 5 minutes, my gf can do templates etc and can use wordpress, plugins etc

But I need to do a custom dashboard that runs apis.
The credits for using these apis must be bought

And I don't know if I can just use woocommerce and so I leave to the saas app (next.js) just the responsibility for the custom dashboard etc
And woocommerce would give me all the tools to manage the purchases and letting my gf manage purchases etc, I can imagine I would find plugins for lots of things already etc

VS

Integrating stripe in the next.js app, and using wordpress only for landing pages/blog posts
(what most solopreneurs seem to do)

anomad 2mo

I think I'd just need advice from someone that knows woocommerce well enough to tell me:
A) don't dare to do that
or
B) it could work and it's not so impossible

vipulvpatil 2mo

I have done a ton of next.js but very little wordpress/woocommerce. But i would still suggest go with wordpress as much as possbile as it is easier to maintain and only do custom stuff in next js if you have to. As for payment, I would keep it in woocommerce for the reasons you mentioned. Simply use the webhook they provide to update credits remaining for a particular user in the nextjs app.

vipulvpatil 2mo

Sorry just read this. Not a woocommerce expert. 🙏 maybe someone else will chime in.

anomad 2mo

Yeah, never used woocommerce

anomad 2mo

But the thing about webhook

anomad 2mo

They offer a way to do that right?

anomad 2mo

I don't need to like do strange things to connect/sync/merge databases or things like that?

anomad 2mo

I can make next.js app get data from woocommerce and use them right to authorize the user if they have the "credits" (did the purchases) and things like this right?

anomad 2mo

This would be the best thing cause as you said (I agree) wordpress is much easier

vipulvpatil 2mo

How are you doing authorization between wordpress and nextjs part?
If you have a way to expose an endpoint from nextjs that can verify the request authorization coming from woocommerce, then thats it. You can pass anything into this request like number of credits to add and you are good.

Bro, too much text. What i do is a landing page with a sign up button. When use crete sign up button his trial start. Pricing page is not visible on public, only after registration and at the app subdomain.

simjost 2mo

Oh really, I didn't see that limitation at the time.

anomad 2mo

with what stack?

anomad 2mo

Hello how to completely replace customer support with AI? What tool? What path? What code (if necessary)?

gseriche 2mo

chatbot?

anomad 2mo

which

anomad 2mo

what's the best most effective and fast solution

anomad 2mo

my gf spent last two years chatting with low-paying customers that waste her time

anomad 2mo

i can't see her doing it anymore, she can't stop because she is responsible , i want to automate this whole thing

anomad 2mo

she can't just do 1-2 hours a day because she is too generous

anomad 2mo

and she ends up. talking with people everyday, at random times. she is always available to them

anomad 2mo

this is both because we never saw an actual chatbot with ai being good , maybe?

anomad 2mo

there must be some kind of solution to this

golwarn 2mo

Without real insight in your system, here are my two cents: Keep it as simple as possible. Maybe a sufficient API plugin exists already for WordPress. If you plan to use next.js only as an API it should be fine if WordPress has nothing to offer, otherwise think about to use WordPress only as shop/for the purchase process that you do not break the workflow for the user. You should be able to use the same login for both systems, I'm sure there exists plenty of cross functions.

marcomedfh 2mo

How many of you guys are freelance web designers/developers or agency owners?
What are your preferred method of acquiring clients and for how long have you been doing that?

sossho 2mo

I know of a solution that may check most of the boxes(cross border payouts, transparent invoices).
You should check out juuli.io
