Nice work! I really like how the website looks - so uncluttered and minimalist.

I second this, we use Paddle on https://gimmeproxy.com . It's really nice they handle VAT automatically on your behalf (EU VAT law for online is complicated) and setup was pretty easy.

I use Node and either puppeteer[0] or plain Curl[1]. IMO Curl is years ahead of any Node.js request lib. For proxies I use (shameless plug!) https://gimmeproxy.com .
