@frankwiles @jefftriplett :: Are there free options we could use that are good enough? If not, is the lowest tier okay? https://payments.discourse.org/pricing

[frankwiles]

So there aren't amazingly good free options, at least any I can think of. There is the "self-supported" plan which we could try out which is $99 install fee + $10/month (for the digital ocean droplet).

We don't strictly need this "for launch" but we do need a plan for something in this vein, even just a mailing list on Google Groups or something soon-ish.

Hold the phone @frankwiles! I should have scrolled down! I'll get this rolling Tuesday. Shouldn't be a problemo
