@julian phentomlabs advice worked for my question, for the launch I will get help from a friend that has experience with hosting stuff ^^

@phenomlab okay I understand. Thanks again for the clarificaton. I might contact you again in the future if you are opend to that, for now i got some work to do .

@omen i also installed it via npm and it works fine for me embedding a website, for embedding an uploaded pdf (that was my goal) it doesnt work yet.
Since this works for me, the question is what we did different. you said you installed the dependencies if you installed them seperatly maybe thats the problem or maybe it is the root acess.

Hi,

i am working on a website to share and develop ideas together. My plan is, that users who share their idea get financal participation if the idea is sucessfull. The forum gets a percentage of the payment that goes to the ideagiver.

For that, in my imagination (not a developer (yet)) I need some kind of splitted payment plugin. I saw that there is a plugin where users can subscribe to certain categories and pay for that (via paypal or stripe). Though i want that users pay each other and the platform gets some percent of that. Here are my questions:

• Is it smarter to use the paypal or stripe plugin and adjust that or is it better to write the whole thing from the ground up (i saw that there is a option for stripe to do what i describe see link)?
• furthermore is it feasable for a beginner like me to develope something like this? I guess I can get help from others but the main work would be on me I guess. (Since payments are such a sensitive area, I would want that code to be without bugs or possible exploits)
• lastly: how long would it take one of the nodebb programmers to do that? I also have no clue what it would cost.

If there is something standing in the way of doing the payments as I plan them let me know

i solved the problem by reinstalling

@julian idk I didnt look at the profile, for me it is okay if this post gets deleted

Thankx guys, i will link this thread to my programmer !!!

Hi, @phenomlab and @crazycells and @DownPW . Has someone time and the expertise for this that you know? My programmer is pretty buissy and a bit slow
