Stripe Checkout requires that you know how to write and integrate code. Plasso does not. Of the 2.4 billion people with internet-connected computers, only 1-2 million can write code.
It's not copy and paste. Stripe Checkout does not even take a payment. All it does is present the UI to collect information, then returns a token to your page via a hidden form field. You must then write code to accept the form submission, use Stripe's API to make a charge against the token you received, send receipts and deliver the product.
To be very honest, this reads like the typical Shoemoney "how to earn $100k within x weeks" article.
It's not a big secret that SEO and conversion optimisation can generate a lot of value, and I guess you consult a lot about these topics?
I was thinking the same thing, even down to the sign-up form for the newsletter. Not that there's anything wrong with that, shoemoney has done quite well and his posts are usually quite good.
I'm not a big fan of the Samwers, and try to avoid using any of their services.
And this time I might end up using their service. I simply have no option.
This is not only proof of their lightening fast execution, but also how all others fail.
German/European startups: fail. None of them were interested to get into this space. They all want to become the next payment / mobile solution and all had no interest about serving the biggest platform- web.
Stripe: fail. I know how startups work. I know that expanding is not easy. But they have raised $20 Million. You could pay a local team of 10 a year, and would have not even spent 5% of your funding. There is just no excuse.
German developers wanted stripe BADLY.
German / European banks: total fail. They completely lack of any vision, and are busy enough staying alive.
