Anyway I wonder if anyone here has suggestions for the smoothest, most friction-free payment method for paying 1 USD up to 20 USD on the open web (no mobile app, browser extension, etc).
Amazon Pay seems like a good bet to me since I imagine a good portion of people browse while logged in to Amazon. Maybe PayPal? I know Stripe and Gumroad have smooth payment flows, but they require inputting card information, which I think would be a turn-off.
Any ideas?
Target market is mostly non-technical people around the world so I don't expect JavaScript blocking or browser containers to be much of an issue.
For micro payments, that means that most of your income is eaten by the fees.
Paypal offers micropay option, with a 5 cents plus 5% cost, meaning you'll pay just 10% in fees.
This is part of the reason micropayments are problematic
