1. There are a ton of monitoring solutions out there, we need to know more about your stack first. This is easy enough nowadays to be a requirement imo, even for an MVP that actually has a semi-functioning app

2. Gross. Get all that stuff seperated as soon as feasible.

3. I like stripe, fwiw, and use it in all my webapps.

4. see answer 1

5. Talk to your users, a lot.

We are currently using a LAMP stack. But we know that we need to do most if not all of these things, the question is what order? Where should we be spending our time?

I'd focus talking to potential customers and building out whatever features make the product "minimally viable" for them. If you're pretty sure you know what they need out of your product (which, unless you have credit card numbers, you probably shouldn't be), get your payment system sorted, throw Google Analytics in, and launch.

At that point you can start selling, selling, and selling some more. Dan Shipper wrote a great post about this today: http://danshipper.com/nothing-happens-until-the-sale-is-made
