Ask HN: Payment forms for static websites

I'm looking at some quick options to add several payment forms to my side project, a static website. The idea is to later use AWS Lambda and Stripe if payments start trickling in.

I know Typeform is one of the more popular options, but they're expensive at €30/mo. Wufoo are at $39/mo.

I've come across Cognito Forms[1] and they take 1% of the payment value which is the best option money-wise. But I've never heard of them. Have you used them before?

https://plasso.com/membership starts at $0/month with 4% transaction fee. Uses Stripe as payment processor. We moved away from plasso (now using https://quaderno.io/) because we needed European VAT/tax handling features.

I believe Paddle (https://paddle.com) has hosted payment forms which can be used for one-time or subscription purchases, with additional forms to e.g. update card info for particular a subscription.
