Taking payments

Hello Hackers.

I've got a book that I want to self-publish. It's not going to be delivered in a traditional format such as PDF, ePUB, etc. Instead it's simply a (static) website people navigate to and read from. This is a choice I've made based on needing to embed video content and other dynamic elements.

I want to be able to take payments for access to the book, but I don't want to have to deal with user accounts, authentication, and so on. Instead I'm prefer it if I could use a system that took care of handling the (recurring) payment(s) and handle authenticating the user as a paying customer who can access my resources.

Given that I need to host a static website, none of the standard platforms I've found (Podia, Teachable, etc.) support this functionality. Not even Netlify supports it (without a lot of work.)

I'm looking at Stripe Link and it's so, so close to being what I need, but it doesn't do anything more than just email me. It does support Zapier so perhaps that's the right avenue to take?

Any tips would be appreciated.
