One service to add payments to extensions is [ExtensionPay](https://extensionpay.com). It's open-source, works across all browsers, and doesn't have any up-front costs or monthly fees. It has pre-built options for free trials, one-time payments and monthly/yearly subscriptions, and a login system for your extension's users.

For Firefox, and most other major browsers, you will need to setup a payment system. A simple and reasonably robust approach is to do the following:
