Vlad This is fantastic news!

Ingo

Vlad Awesome! 🥳

I'd be really curious to hear your experiences with the whole thing a couple of months from now 👍️

Vlad

Ingo Well it started not great as we were originally to roll this out this Monday together with the rest of the updates but OpenNode had a major incident that very day https://status.opennode.com/incidents/jm54cmy3slvs and this is the reason we postponed it.

Awesome news!

Ingo

Vlad Argh, that's really unfortunate. But we are patient 😉

Is there already an alternative release date planned?

kagi134

Ouch. Looks like it is resolved though.

3 incidents in the last six months and of course one of them is on the day of launch.

Vlad

We are now officialy supporting OpenNode as a payment option.

Who will be the first to make a crypto payment? 🙂

SK

Just saw that this has been posted on Stacker News! Make sure to give it some votes there. You just login anonymously with any compatible lightning wallet. Hopefully this brings in some fresh bodies.

I'll try adding some credit to my account and see how it works.

Edit: Just tried to find it under the billing section and can't see that option. I'm Legacy Professional...currently using credit card.

kagi134

I can't find it either. When I hit Manage billing it takes me to stripe right away.

Also, small error "PayPal adn Venmo" --> "and".

Edit: Oh I see.

Go to billing
Click switch plan
At the bottom of the page, click "Alternative payment methods"
Takes you "https://kagi.com/settings?p=account_topup"
Choose option.

SK

kagi134 Cool. I see it now too. I just did $10 worth on Lightning via Phoenix Wallet. My legacy plan now shows $110 due when I get forwarded to the Stripe page rather than the typical $120, so it looks like everything is updating as it should. The integration looks great @Vlad.

Was this your first payment?!

kagi134

Perhaps improve visibility for current paying customers?

I think the saved card causes it to send right to stripe.

Vlad

SK It could be, we have a few by now, no way to tell 🙂

pablof7z

It took me quite a while to find it too, until you sent me the email saying that it was live I had been checking but definitely didn't notice the link at the bottom; I was just clicking the big "Pay" button and getting redirected to Stripe 😅

Vlad

pablof7z Ooops 🙂 How can we improve the UI?

kagi134

The big "Manage Payments" just redirects to stripe so I was confused.

I don't need to switch plans so I didn't think to click there.

Manage Payments -> Choose Payment method

This my thought process.

Vlad

Integration seems to be working great, we just got our first $500 USD "check" from OpenNode.

@Vlad and Kagi Team, I just wanted to thank you for the Bitcoin integration!
On top of the 10$/mo unlimited search announcement , you won a long term customer 🙂
Great work!

I just signed up for a paid account since I saw the crypto payment option, awesome. I'd love to see support for Monero, right now I have to use a swapping service to change into Bitcoin first.
