I've been looking for something like this for ages. I have a small project I need to do and I'm not really a web developer. Muddling through setting all this stuff up for the first time would be far more work than the actual website.

How hard would it be for me to integrate with Authorize.net?

I'd say that if you're interesting in learning to code then Divjoy may work for you. I try not to over sell it to non-devs, but I do have a fair amount of customers who are hacking at Divjoy projects while learning to code and are very happy with that.

Since all the boilerplate works out of the box you can skip over a bunch of stuff (like understanding how auth works under the hood), but generally there's some custom logic you need to write and you'll want to pickup some JS/React to do that.

Any integration with Authorize.net would be totally done by you. You could export a codebase with Stripe payments so that you can at least see how payments logic ties in with UI.. but you'd need to then strip that out and replace with your own custom Authorize integration.

Oh, I'm a SW engineer. I just mostly worked in process control and consumer electronics. I've done a few websites.

Thank you for the reply. :-)

Gotcha! Then it shouldn't be too hard to integrate Authorize. UI is mostly decoupled from payment logic. Always happy to hop on a call if you need some help understanding anything in the codebase.

As an addendum... Purchased a copy of your thing, looking forward to exploring it. I'm reasonably clever and I don't expect I'd need any help, but I super appreciate the offer.

Thanks for buying! Once you give it a try I’d love to hear any feedback you have or requests for new components/integrations.

I also suggest using frontendor.com, it'll help you build a beautiful HTML interface for your website by copy-paste.
