What is Maian Stripe?
Maian Stripe is an open-source alternative to Stripe that provides similar payment processing and subscription management functionality. Key features include:
- Accepting one-time and recurring payments with credit cards and popular online payment systems
- Managing subscriptions including signups, cancellations, updates etc.
- Processing charges in multiple currencies
- Offering coupons and discounts
- Sending customizable invoices and receipts
As an open-source self-hosted solution, Maian Stripe aims to provide lower processing fees compared to Stripe. It also allows full control and customization of the payment platform to suit your specific business needs. The tradeoff is that you need to handle the hosting, maintenance and updates yourself instead of relying on Stripe's systems. But for high-volume merchants, the cost savings may be substantial.
Overall, Maian Stripe is a promising open-source alternative for payment processing, especially for merchants looking to reduce fees and gain more control over their systems. The self-hosted model does require more effort compared to Stripe's managed SaaS platform however.
