What payment gateway to get payments from the US?

Hi guys, We're currently working on the MVP of our SaaS product. We want to sell it on a subscription basis to the people inside the US. What payment gateway is a good option?

I tried registering on 2Checkout, FastSpring, PayKassma(they asked for my telegram?? on signup) but found they're not fit for this type of business model.

What are my options? How does Paddle sound in this case?

Thanks.

Hi,

I saw a post a few days ago about openrouter giving out free credits, inside the comments a person mentioned that they signed up using their company email and got 100$ in free credits from openrouter.

After that I signed up as well but so far I couldn't see anything of that sort. This question might come off as a bit entitled but I assure you that's not it. I'm just wondering if this actually exists and if I'm doing anything wrong to be not able to avail it, or if its just something exclusive not given out to every business.

Thank you!

Hi guys, the title I know its dumb but I can't afford to buy proxies. So I have to make do.

I'm working on a startup and basically its mostly been us doing workarounds for stuff. We don't have a budget, only startup credits from AWS.

Currently we're just controlling chrome using the debugging port and doing searches that way, which has been good tbh, no captchas etc, but the problem is that I run into rate limits after a while and also it is very very slow. And all this is running on a VM.

Now my idea is that maybe I can scale the VMs. Whichever VM gets a captcha we scrap it, create a new one.

If we get a 429, we wait and try again.

My target is to scrape about 10-15k keywords data from google trends. And all that must be done without proxies.

I'm very new to scraping, my background has been SWE, so I'm probably doing a lot of stuff that's wrong / wasteful.

If someone knows any alternative sites that host google trends data that I can scrape instead of google trends, please let me know. All ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
