Hello all,
thanks for working on this. This is a huge step forward from what he have had
before.
I especially appreciate the progress in both, design and implement, although it
is quite a busy time for everyone!
I do have some questions/remarks though:
* Does the currency selection need to be a dropdown? It feels a bit excessive
for just two currencies. Just my two cents :)
* One payment option I must have forgotten is PayPal, but that is only available
for one-time payments. They don't allow recurring payments in Europe.
* Some things need a bit of rewording. I think I would prefer the text that is
under the box (left side) to be on the left hand side of the box. It also
doesn't sound right to me to say "1€ at least", but I didn't find anything
better, yet. I will think of that and update you.
Best,
-Michael
