clarkwinkelmann I will write a few premium extensions that will get priority support, I'm not sure for what yet, suggestions are welcome.
You can also publish a premium extension that does nothing, but implies receiving priority support.

As a premium extension suggestion, I would like to see the idea that was once discussed about an extension for Flamarkt that allows a multi-vendor marketplace, so that users with the role "Vendor" can access their own backoffice and manage their products... etc.
TOWUK how get link of website?
I'll publish it sometime next week.
Darkle multi-vendor marketplace
Good idea! It will take a lot of time to develop, so that's a good candidate for being a paid extension. It'll be very complex if it handles payments and/or shipping for multi-vendors and not just a "Facebook" marketplace.
clarkwinkelmann Yeah, this would be a complex one, maybe when you explore the standard Flamarkt payment extension you'll come up with some ideas... Extiverse comes to mind, I have no idea how it does it (magic maybe ), but I've seen that button in the account settings that lets you log in with Stripe in case you go publish premium extensions and then it looks like the payment goes directly to the developer's stripe account from what I can see on the invoices.
But yes there are many approaches to this, on many marketplaces sellers prefer bank transfer which only requires IBAN or they put their paypal links directly...
It would be interesting to discuss all this when Flamarkt is in a more mature state, this extension could be super cool for lots of communities.

Extiverse uses Stripe Connect which offers several different ways of acting as intermediary, see: https://stripe.com/connect
luceos Stripe, paypal does not work in Turkey
Omg I love this may it support a adapter like the upload allow to add some custom payment mathod?
Because stripe isn’t support on my country
I like it, very cool idea)
Sub to this discussion. Very interested in this extension
upd?
To add another idea for future premium extensions of Flamarkt, it would be very nice an extension for the support of digital products normally files (pdf, zip...) with the final base of Flamarkt I think it would be quite feasible. The key would be to create a kind of "download centre" for the user, from where you can download/check the digital products that have been purchased, I think it could be very good.
TOWUK soon. Progress is slow but I'm getting there. I'll push the 0.1 payments API with Stripe soon.
Darkle it's definitely something I had in mind! If anyone has a use case for this I could use some help to test it out in production when I eventually work on it!
I have also been thinking about how subscriptions could be introduced into the framework but that's definitely a higher level of complexity and that won't be part of the first release
I would have another idea: Could you extend the extention with a coin system (which you can collect e.g. by new contributions)? Then you could buy user badges, so that users are motivated to write.
So would this be an extension to allow us to sell items on our flarum?

I may have a use case on my flarum to sell digital pdf maps for the adventures I write about.
clarkwinkelmann Count me in.. I want try it on my production flarum.
I'm still not able to promise any exact timeline, but just to keep you all in the loop, here's the state of the project.
You might have seen some activity on the GitHub repositories. Some new progress has been made recently. A number of bugs have been fixed and many new extension hooks have been added, but it's still very incomplete. We are now targeting a January release for my client's app. Which means a first public release of Flamarkt should be able to follow shortly after.
That first Flamarkt version will still be very bare, because only features and extenders needed for my client will be implemented. There's also some code that's currently private that might be extracted to open-source extensions later on. The first new open-source extensions for Flamarkt probably won't come before March.
The decision was made to make Flamarkt PHP 8.1+, because that's what we are going to run in production with my client and the only version that will be tested. This joins the NodeJS/Puppeteer, headless Chrome and asynchronous queue requirements that were already decided earlier. The Scout extension is not a hard requirement but Flamarkt will be more difficult to use without it. MySQL <8.0 and subfolder installs will also not be tested. A future major version of Flamarkt, probably at least the year after might try lowering the most constraining requirements where possible.
clarkwinkelmann A number of bugs have been fixed and many new extension hooks have been added, but it's still very incomplete.
I hope we can see & use the Flamarkt soonest possible. Since to build a forum community need a server cost. So with Flamart we can sell something to grow our community.
I want to buy this extension!!!
meihuak most of it will be free when eventually finished.
The development was paused again for various reasons but it's getting close to ready.
