Digital side hustle worked until i tried to get paid
I put together a simple side hustle 3/4 months ago selling digital templates for small creators so just notion setups and a basic landing page and only recently did it start getting traction like people clicking through and a few messages ready to buy so I thought i was finally gonna see some profit but then I tried to take payments andddd everything failed.
My setup worked in testing but the second users outside my country tried to pay things started failing and I ended up spending weeks debugging edge cases instead of improving anything which is where I realized how different it works in sandbox and when real money gets involved even though it felt like one clean integration it still turned into a bunch of issues across regions right when I was trying to fully launch so the whole thing ended up as a failed project until i find a workaround
