Is there someone out there who can help me set up a pay system for Crypto

I believe I could ask for payment to be made to @christinepoulos adding an email address to which I could send a link to download the book. I'm not afraid of hard work but then again what if I sell a lot of books (wishful thinking - but then again I need to have faith)

What I need is a way for this to be automated. is there an automated pay system that I could use?

With the help of my kids -Lee @leelektrik and Eden @edenmichelle I have completed the first story and even have a website up (pat on the back) but now I need someone out there to help me.

I would dearly love to sell the book on Hive and be able to be paid with crypto.

I'm sitting in a coffee bar having just completed my first story book for children aged 3 - 9 years old. Its been a wonderful and exciting challenge and made more special by the support I have had from my kids (all adults now) and since I have no grandchildren of my own - I've had to adopt the help of my nephew and his two girls for feedback. So far, so good - they loved the story.

I've carried on writing more in The Adventures of Paddy the Panda and trying to visit different countries and teach different lessons in each book.

Next month, I turn the grand old age of 75 so it will be very special for me if I can get some interest on my new project. I knew that my six years plus experience writing on Hive would serve a good purpose. It has kept my brain fresh and alert and always thinking of what to blog about next. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Hive really saved my life.

Recently I met @lizelle in South Africa and we have been friends for at least six years on Hive. What a thrill that was - and I really felt that I knew her well even though we met in the flesh for the first time.

Also, I was instrumental in getting @olgavita to join Hive many years ago and she went on to surpass me and is still very active on the Shadow Hunters and Reflections community. I'm so very proud of the work she has put in - and I remember clearly how she said she had nothing to write about and now she is so involved and respected on the community.

In my next post I will include a link to my website where I am selling the book with a free colouring-in book.

Sort:  

There is a point of sale system as part of the V4V App.
https://v4v.app/pos

It may not meet all of your requirements or your goals, but it certainly enables you to make a request for payment, and for the user to fulfil that request.

I wish I could have photography clients of mine pay in HIVE, but for that to happen I would a) need more clients and b) have them want to pay in hive.

Maybe if any of @mattclarke's kids gets hitched he can pay me in hive to capture their wedding :P (hint , hint)

Edit: and how horribly unkind of me to not CONGRATULATE you on finishing the book, in my original comment. That is a monumental exercise, regardless of length, genre, or target audience. Well done!

That is so great that you did it, dear Christine! Now I am proud to have a friend who is a writer 😍.
I would like to help you with your problem but I know nothing about it, unfortunatrely : ( . I believe that there are people in HIVE who are able to help 🙏❤️

Thank you my friend @olgavita - You are such an inspiration to me and I'm so happy that I introduced someone like you to Hive

Hi @christinepoulos, Well done and good luck with your book! I wouldn't know where to look for advice. Can only think that @ericvancewalton may be able to advise?

Congratulations on publishing the book @christinepoulos! Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for your regarding setting up automated Hive payments. I'm sure there are people on here who could help though—@roelandp would you know anyone who could assist?

@christinepoulos, I paid out 0.070 HIVE and 0.016 HBD to reward 4 comments in this discussion thread.
