As a developer I'm terrified of anything that handles payments. There are so many ways to do it wrong, and each exposes me or my clients to massive losses. Even well funded companies with teams for security suffer breaches daily.

I'm happy to outsource anything involving money.

There's plenty of middle ground. You outsource just they payment/donate form and pay a small premium on top of merchant fee. You just to do everything on the content and marketing side yourself.

just use stripe, the fees are small for all the headaches you avoid. refunds are easy and can be handled from a dashbaord
