SEO Toaster OSS CMS/CRM & Ecommerce - alternative to WordPress, Ghost

@micmc you make valid points

My scenario : I refuse to use Paypal, as a vendor and as a customer, because some (many now) years go, I had a problem with Paypal because I received a large payment into my account which was a lot bigger than I normally did, and came from a "dodgy" country, they blocked my account and access to funds. Nearly lost £7k. But I appreciate that's maybe a personal beef, not a strategic analysis.

There are many who are totally content (blissfully ignorant as to the dangers of using Paypal, I would say), so system providers need to take it into account, as you say.

I guess maybe there's an element of selfhost vs HateBigMonopolisticTech in the decision ?

@timconsidine you make valid points too
I mean, along the years one have stop counting the amount of horror story the same kind in the like of yours.
That said, I believe that it should be a matter of choice to use PP or not, that should remain in the hand of the app user. Though, making available inho is less of a choice for an app dev, to reach the largest possible audience.
That said, my comment was a matter of strategy indeed, I'm in no way a particular PP supporter at all. Nope. I use it on some apps, but on some others not. Though, I've learned along the way what is IMPORTANT with PP to make it work as seamlessly as possible is COMMUNICATION. As in making them AWARE before hit, for example, to make a story short.

@micmc @timconsidine maybe I misunderstood the question here. To be clear, SeoSamba/SeoToaster POS works with Stripe as a processor. This means that as a merchant your proceeds will go to your Stripe account. Stripe however allows for hundreds of different payment methods for your clients to use online, including paypal: https://stripe.com/payments/payment-methods AND in addition, we also offer dozens of other payment gateways that you can combine with, including again a direct PayPal connection, on your website. When it comes to the POS itself, in presence payments will require a valid debit/credit card (including debit card issued by Paypal to their customers) or cash. Please let me know if it makes sense or something remains unclear.

Hi @timconsidine @robi and gang. We added support for a client facing screen, tips, and QR reviews on the POS app, and an agentic business worker on the CRM side. Thanks to all the signals we get from web traffic through social clicks or phone calls analysis, the CRM identifies accounts according to your organization role and prepare communications. It performs better than SalesForce or Hubspot in my opinion. Please let me know if I can do anything to help with the release on Cloudtron!
