ExtensionPay founder here! Please let me know if you have any questions about integrating ExtPay in your extensions!

@sukhmanpreetsingh1525 3 года назад

Hi I started using ext pay and loving it I have a question can I edit the price after I have published the extension Currently it is $65 and I want to lower it for my extension

@Glenchx 3 года назад

@@sukhmanpreetsingh1525 totally! just log in to the ExtensionPay website and use the "change price" option right on the home page.

@@SuhailKhan-vr6ik As explained in the video, MV3 support is coming! However, I personally wouldn't use MV3 yet - it's very buggy and not well-supported yet. The Chrome extension mailing list is filled with people experiencing bugs. Google does this a lot - release something new without fully testing and tell everyone to switch over even though it's not complete.

Say you have an API key you don't want to expose in your extension and then make an endpoint. Then I would need to hit that endpoint with a user token. My endpoint would then need to confirm this token. Is that possible?

This is awesome! It will save me so much work. Thanks for sharing this

@kossavch 3 года назад

Thank you, for this videos.

Can I use this for option page? Because, my extension not has popup page

@manojrathore85 Год назад

How can I manage multiple payment options in my extension as I want to enable the different features on my extension so as per the paid amount

@alik225 3 года назад

Thanks for this - it's a nice solution. My main concern with lots of these payment methods (like Stripe integration) is the lack of Merchant of Records that deals with tax and all of that fun stuff. I'm a fan of tax but my god I can't handle dealing with it.

@RustyZone 3 года назад

Hey Ali, I saw a couple of days ago that Stripe is launching a new tax product which should hopefully fix this big gap. More info here stripe.com/tax Might not be 100% ready just yet but looks to be a really promising sign 😀

@shettyprashant8802 2 года назад

is there a way to force log out concurrent user, if the user in already login on to one device?

@petscutest2055 2 года назад

so nice with this feature and one more question for Payment Getway like Stripe it's not supported for my country so what should I do?

@klayhopgood9390 Год назад

I am a little confused what the user experience will actually look like for downloading my extension and paying using the service? do they have to download the extensionpay extension to make the payment for my extension? at what point do they get prompted to pay? If i have a website with a link to the chrome extension download.. when do they get prompted to pay?

@Sunny-tl6qg 2 года назад

I have done everything you said in the video but I still don't understand how it works. How is ExtensionPay connected to my extension? Do I have to ask people to download the ExtensionPay as well?

@TopTechTitans 5 месяцев назад

Does it work with google adds? like can you add adverticment to the chrome extension?

@jamisoncote1039 2 года назад

Once a user pays, how do we then navigate them to the chrome extension that they're purchasing?

@flossydentist 3 месяца назад

Stripe is not supported in my country ? is there any other way ?

@WillIrish 3 года назад

Outstanding video. I’ve watched four straight videos of yours and you are really top notch in your teaching. Well done. Question, would this remove the need for licensing control of an extension? I’m thinking it could for smaller projects but being newer to coding I’m always aware of how little I know. I used easy digital downloads software licensing plugin currently but this essential is access control integrated with stripe. Am I missing anything?

@RustyZone 3 года назад

Thanks thats is awesome to hear! Yes to some extent, it would depend on the level of detail you want to go into for your extension and the types of user access etc.. but most cases this is all you would need. Also for more advanced licensing you might find this useful: keygen.sh/

@Glenchx 3 года назад

ExtPay is meant to be a more user friendly version of licensing. Instead of having a user copy and paste license codes, they pay just like any other web app they're used to. And at some point there will be an option to have different plans with ExtensionPay allowing for different levels of access.

@MrMikelmakos Год назад

How can I using ExtensionPay, call my API endpoint with a user token and validate it. If this is not available, how can I sync the users who have paid with my own firebase?

@klayhopgood9390 Год назад

So in theory all you actually need to do is sign up to extension pay, install that line of code into "background" and connect it with stripe.. everything else is just testing? with just that first step it should be fully operational?

@studiogenix2933 6 месяцев назад

Hey, so I'm looking into monetizing my chrome extension but I can't get a stripe account as I'm in South Africa. Could you perhaps recommend any other site that offer the services I require?

@limbuscode 2 года назад

Yes but, how do extpay helps you to protect premium features properly? Because everyone can open up devtools console, inspect the code and inject js into the console and enter a command such as "is_premium = true;".

@reprovedcandy 2 года назад

If you're selling to devs/technical people then this is a real problem. If you're not, then this will literally never happen and non-technical ppl wouldn't even think it was possible let alone actually look into it and try

Can we get google adsense for a chrome extension where we get a popup window or tab where we can display ads CAN WE DO IT

This is a bit of a grey area, @dotproto has a great blog post on this here dotproto.com/2023/05/04/google-ads-in.html

Is this still the best way to handle a paid upgrade?

Manifest version 3 now supported, sample here! 👉 github.com/Glench/ExtPay/tree/main/sample-extension-mv3

@renetatuacastillo19 17 дней назад

It is not working in my case. I see user true but the status is overdue. So something is wrong, also the support is really bad, I can't see even an email or something , like a live chat.

@sukhmanpreetsingh1525 3 года назад

Great video. I can finally monetize my extension. I have only question. ExtPay stays in development mode. How do i turn off the development mode off. Thanks

@RustyZone 3 года назад

It sounds like it could be similar to this issue, i'd recommend contacting the developer or following this thread on GitHub. github.com/Glench/ExtPay/issues/5

@Glenchx 3 года назад

Hey! ExtPay will automatically go out of development mode when it's not installed from a local file, so for example if you published on the Chrome/Edge/Firefox extensions stores.

@mangarino94 3 года назад

can this prevent someone from just checking for the javascript code in devtools>source and removing the paywall part of the code? I'm worried that someone will take my extension and slightly modify it and rebuilding it to put it out as a free alternative. I put alot of work into my extension and don't want it being used for free by simply looking at and copying thousands of lines of JS

@RustyZone 3 года назад

Hey, sadly this does not hide your code, the best way to do this if you wanted to, would be to have the main "value areas" of your logic behind some type of api which you can validate before sending a response and have this adjust the way your code will run, almost like a settings object.... but ultimately with extensions there are not too many options to really stop people from viewing your source code due to the way the environment exists (sorry for the late reply)

Use obfuscators so it will be a pain in the ass to abuse your code
