Steady membership platform

Several of you asked for Steady, the membership platform many German-speaking publishers and podcasters use. We went through their API and wrote to their support twice. The answer is the same both times: Steady has no webhooks. A new member, a cancellation or an expired subscription reach the outside world only as Zapier triggers. Everything PayGlue does starts with the provider telling us that something happened, so the only ways around it would be polling Steady's subscription list or asking every reader to log in with Steady at the paywall. Neither is something we want to run or want to ask of your readers. Same conclusion as with Mollie: a solid API, built for a different job. If Steady publishes a webhook endpoint, we will pick this up again.

• No webhooks at Steady, subscription events exist only as Zapier triggers
• Polling or a Steady login at the paywall were the alternatives, we want neither
• Patreon stays the reference for a membership platform with an open event API
