I made €73k from a Chrome Extension. [1] Went down twice in the last year so I had to spend some time on that.

Chrome Webstore are shutting down their payment system, so I've spent some time migrating all that nonsense.

If you're interested, I also wrote about others monetising their extensions and how they did it. [2]

How did you migrate your existing paying customers?

I went with https://paddle.com/ for my paid Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io/) as I was sure Google would deprecate their payment service, given how few paid extensions there were. I don't understand why they didn't integrate it with their Android payments.

Hey there! This is really nice. I enjoyed reading your article. I am curious how do you monetize beebs? Do you get paid from publisher and TV shows or any other source? I couldn't find article on Indie Hackers about it.
