What

Open Payment Host is an easy to run self-hosted, minimalist payments host through which we can easily sell our digital items without paying double commissions while having total control over our sales and data.

Why

Selling digital items on web as an indie requires using platforms where we have to pay double commissions(to the platform and the payment gateway) and our content is forever locked within those platforms.

Who

• Those who are looking to self-host an alternative for Gumroad, Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi etc.

• Those who churn out lot of projects and don't want to integrate payment gateway every time.

• Those who want to use multiple payment gateways for different countries e.g. for parity pricing or for redundancy.

How

Open Payment Host is a minimalist yet highly performant Go web application with innovative features which helps indies self-host and sell digital items with little effort.

Usage

Requirements

1. Stripe or Square or Paypal or Razorpay account for payment gateway.

2. Cloudflare account for turnstile captcha.

3. Mailchimp account for adding subscribers to the list.

Note: Open Payment Host can be tested without fulfilling above requirements, But payments and adding subscribers to the list wouldn't work.

Docker

The latest image is available on DockerHub at abishekmuthian/open-payment-host:latest.

Demo Setup

mkdir oph-demo && cd oph-demo
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abishekmuthian/open-payment-host/main/samples/oph-demo/install-demo.sh)"

Visit http://localhost:3000.

Demo version prints more detailed level of errors if any, DO NOT use this demo setup in production.

Login

The default admin email id is admin@openpaymenthost.com and the password is OpenPaymentHost. You'll be asked to reset the password after login for security reasons. That password is hashed and stored.

You'll be logged out after changing password automatically to login with the new credentials.

Admin email id and default admin password can be changed in the config file (explained below) after the first run. Each time the password is reset in the config file, The password needs to be changed again once logged in for security.

Production Setup

It's recommended to try the demo application first before using the production application. The production application requires a registered domain and special config variables for SSL as detailed in the configuration section.

mkdir oph-production && cd oph-production
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abishekmuthian/open-payment-host/main/samples/oph-production/install-production.sh)"

After the container has started successfully, Stop the container, Set the required production configuration and re-run the container.

Configuration

Config file fragmenta.json is located in the secrets folder. It is generated automatically during the first run, After editing the config file the application needs to be restarted for the new configuration to take effect.

fragmenta.json contains configuration for both development and production. The production configuration is loaded when the environment variable FRAG_ENV=production is set.

Note: Environment variable for production is set automatically when using the docker production setup.

User configurable values are included in the table below.
