Eleutheria Pay - Open source donation platform
-
Nice! Subscription payments would be high on my recommendation list to enable easy setup of retainers and hosting agreements etc.
@marcusquinn For sure. I can get that going next. Shouldn't be hard (knock on wood).
-
Also a nice name.
I think the only other time I've seen/ heard the work Eleutheria used is in this nice Lenny Kravitz song:
@jdaviescoates
just did a google for gods/goddesses of liberty and found it lol -
FYI I edited the OP with a link to the issue board on my gitlab instance. It has the current requests + some things I want to do.
-
Ever since I gave up on FossPay, I have been working on a Node + Vue based version of the same thing called Eleutheria Pay. Think of it as a layer overtop of Stripe to handle donations that can be self hosted. It is not at feature parity yet, but I hope to get there eventually. Right now it has stripe based one-time payments working. Is anyone interested in this being developed further and it being tailored more to Cloudron?
I am open to feature requests as well.
Repo: https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/eleutheriapay
Cloudron Package: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/eleutheriapay-app
Demo (Use this card info: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards) : https://testsupport.atrilahiji.dev/This has finally reached a 1.0.0 release that better reflects what I wanted this project to me. Its certainly not complex but thats precisely what I wanted. No user management. Nothing complex. Just a customizable page that looks professional(ish) and can serve its own donate button you can embed anywhere. I have updated the package accordingly and am waiting to hear back about whether or not it can be added to the store. That being said, to get a better idea of how many people actually want this I urge you to upvote this first post.

@murgero Here's the demo link. All payments are using test stripe credentials so nothing should go through.
-
@murgero FYI you need to use these numbers in the demo to see a successful test payment: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards
I'm working on docs now and will add this info.
-
@murgero I got it working just today so I still need to work out docs + screenshots. That being said I just release subcscriptions so I'll be throwing up my personal prod setup + an instance in stripe's test mode for people to try.

@jdaviescoates do you prefer more of a preconfigured subscription system where you define tiers or the current method where I let the user enter the amount they subscribe for
-
FYI I added a bunch of features on my repo board including SMTP support for receipts (might be able to leverage stripe for this to reduce complexity). I'd like some opinions on what you guys want for features before I bug @girish to have this on Cloudron.

I think some defaults plus option to self-define probably the best of both worlds. A bit like how Open Collective do it, e.g. https://opencollective.com/bettermediauk/donate

@jdaviescoates I'll get that out for the next release. I wanted to work through some clean-up tasks and basic (and boy oh boy do I mean basic) documentation as @murgero requested. Got the ever important dark mode and user customizable CSS added as features. And also displaying the currency because I'm a dingus and didn't realize that was something that might be useful to know when paying somewhere.
0.1.6 is out here: https://git.lahijiapps.dev/atrilahiji/eleutheriapay
Your request should make it into 0.1.7.The demo has been updated so you can play around with the new look.

@atrilahiji If I can put in a feature request - can you please allow the ability to have configurable social buttons / contact buttons? (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Email, Matrix, so on.)
@murgero Sure thing. I'll look into having the most common ones added. Email, FB, Twitter, Insta, Mastodon, Github. Any others you can think of?
Another thing I was thinking of was a "back arrow button" on the left side of the top nav which goes to whatever you configured your success URL to be (or it can be seperate... which is probably better. Along with the new CSS customizability it might be cool to have it "look and feel" like an extension of the site you link to it from. I did quite literally give full CSS access to the App.vue's global style section. For example, the current dark theme is matching my personal site's colour because I primarily made this for myself

@atrilahiji Discord, GitLab, maybe Element? Website of course.
-
I added a bunch. I'm really digging this icon pack and there are some gaps: https://feathericons.com/
I'll look for icons elsewhere for the remainder but I think the ones I got now are a good starting set.
-
Pushed one update, and then quickly pushed another change because I goofed things up bad. Check out the new demo.

@atrilahiji Looking good!
I assume it'll be possible to choose any Stripe supported currency in the back-end?
Might even be nice to let users choose too?

@jdaviescoates yeah it does allow any stripe supported currency. It is sending that exact string to their API in the post request I make. I didn’t want to make any assumptions and have to make a code change if they change how they accept that string.
I could certainly add a drop down. Stripe (or someone’s bank) should handle the conversion but I can grab their supported currencies and just make it user defined and use the current setting as a preferred default. I just figured either way someone would front some sort of conversion cost.

@atrilahiji yeah, the conversion would happen either way, it's just that I think users are more likely to donate in their own currency because then they know how much they are actually donating upfront. Like I've no real idea what the conversion rate between CAD to GBP is right now so I'd have to go and do a conversion to check and then you might loose me
