Weekly Journal

Unfortunately my grandfather passed away last week. He was a storyteller. An outdoorsman. A businessman. An investor. I have no doubt some of those qualities passed down to me. For that, I am grateful. I will miss his stories and never forget our games of Monopoly.

Daddy Daycare continues to be my full time gig. But my daughter is getting better. Hopefully she will downgrade to a boot next week. Which will allow her to be more mobile and free up some time for me.

I was able to complete and launch the initial migration to Stripe Checkout over the weekend. This redirects new users to Stripe Checkout for payment. It provides more payment options as well as localized currency. It also offloads a lot of code for me.

Over the next few weeks, I'll complete the migration by moving subscriptions to Stripe Checkout, as well as general account management to their Billing Portal.

However, there does not seem to be a way for users with a saved card to transition to Stripe Checkout. At least not without re-entering their details. So, for convenience, users with a saved card will still continue to checkout through laravelshift.com.

Weekly Tip

With everything going on in my life, I'll stray away from code into a bit of a life tip this week. Life ebbs and flows. Maybe right now it's ebbing. But it will flow again.
