I'd like to see some other ideas on what these solutions could provide to this project.
For example:
I'm green to the monetization concept but like the idea of micro-payments!
Is there an api to pull down all current payments, registered users for (our and other) sites, people showing interest?
Is there an api, that lists all sites participating?
Is there a need for sites to provide their own registration?
Do developers of this software participate in monetization each time their solution is used by some site somewhere?
Sorry—n00b question but I just want to confirm my understanding. Web Monetization is run with the
document.monetization
API (docs), so it’s only supposed to run on the client-side wheredocument
is available.If we have monetized (ie. “paywalled”) content and implement it on a SSR site, the server-generated pages will only have the free content; no way to authenticate user from the server. Is this correct?
Yes, generally the easiest way to add web monetization is client-side with the meta tag. We are working on offering back-end integration and options.
There is also an option to use the OAuth Web Monetization Script. However, you will need to register your client app and be approved for OAuth access. docs.coil.com/
