自从一年多前发布首个测试版以来，作为无头内容管理系统（CMS），Payload 已经逐渐在 Web 开发社区中给人们留下了深刻印象。先做一些背景介绍，Payload 是专门为更简单地开发网站、Web 应用或<ruby> 原生 <rt>  native </rt></ruby>应用而量身定制的内容管理系统。


最近，他们决定完全开源，现在，它已跻身 [可用的最佳开源内容管理系统](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-cms/) 之一。


然而，这也带来了一些问题：他们会采用怎么样的商业模式？Payload 内容管理系统的计划是什么？下面，就让我们简要地看一下吧！


### Payload 为什么要开源？


自 2021 年首次发布以来，Payload 已经收到了来自开源社区的许多贡献。正如 Payload 在他们 [最近的公告](https://payloadcms.com/blog/open-source) 中所说，开源是一个重要的决定，它能够使项目能够达到的更高的高度，这是闭门造车做不到的。

此外，这种开放性通常会增加开发者社区的信任。这种信任也会延伸到商业，自然而然地转而成为开发者最支持、最信任的平台。


因此，Payload 正在切换到 MIT 许可证。这将允许任何人免费且不受限制地修改、分发和使用 Payload。


然而，Payload 仍然需要资金流入才能持续运营。那么，这就引出了一个问题，Payload 将如何盈利呢？


### Payload 将如何盈利?


与往常一样，Payload 需要一些财务支持才能维持运营。团队拿出了一个由两部分组成的计划，该计划既要为用户提供更多 <ruby> 以便利为中心 <rt>  convenience-focused </rt> <ruby>  的功能，又要为  <ruby>   自托管   <rt>    self-hosted   </rt>  </ruby>  客户提供难以置信的灵活性。 </ruby></ruby>

#### 企业许可证


此选项与其他开源 CMS 的软件服务极为相似。这些许可证将提供更高级的 SSO 选项，并为开发者保证 Payload 核心团队的响应时间。


这些许可证应该对大公司有吸引力，尤其是那些需要最大程度可靠性的公司。


#### 云主机


这个选项非常有吸引力，因为它结合了多种服务来创造最方便的体验。尽管传统托管仍然相当容易，但只要你为 Node 应用程序添加数据库、持久文件存储和其他基础设施，你就会面对四五个不同的服务，而这些服务都需要无缝协同工作。


应该注意的是，这不是必需的，Payload 仍然鼓励用户托管他们的实例。这项服务只是消除了与托管相关的大量费用和挑战而已。


截至目前，事情还没有敲定。但是，你可以关注 [GitHub](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload) 上的讨论来跟踪事情的进展。


### 总结


作为一个新兴的 CMS 选项，很高兴看到 Payload 迈出了这一步，成为 WordPress 和其他选项的流行替代品。此外，在我看来，Payload 团队对他们的新业务模式充满信心，或许这预示着一个光明的未来（希望如此）。

Since its first beta release a little over a year ago, Payload has slowly built a name for itself within the web development community as a headless Content Management System (CMS). For a bit of background information, Payload is a CMS tailored specifically toward being simpler to develop websites, web apps, or native applications.

Recently, they decided to go completely open-source, putting it among the likes of some of the [best open-source CMS available](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-cms/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

However, that raises some questions, like what will their business model look like? And what are the plans for Payload CMS? Let’s take a brief look.

## Why Has Payload Gone Open-Source?

Since its initial launch back in 2021, Payload has received many contributions from the open-source community. As Payload said in their [recent announcement](https://payloadcms.com/blog/open-source?ref=news.itsfoss.com), the decision to go open-source is massive, and it allows projects to read much greater heights than could ever be possible if kept behind closed doors.

In addition, this openness often results in much greater levels of trust from the developer community. This trust also extends to businesses, naturally turning to the platform with the greatest developer support and trust.

Due to all these reasons, Payload is now switching to the MIT license. This allows anyone to modify, distribute, and use Payload for free and without limitations.

However, Payload still needs money flowing in to operate sustainably. So, that begs the question, how will Payload make money?

## How Payload Is Going To Make Money?

As is always the case, Payload requires some financial backing to remain afloat. They have outlined a two-part plan that should both provide users with even more convenience-focused features while still leaving self-hosted customers incredible flexibility.

### Enterprise Licenses

This option is extremely similar to other open-source CMS software services. These licenses would provide more advanced SSO options and give the developers guaranteed response times from the core Payload team.

These licenses should look appealing to larger corporations, especially those that require the utmost reliability.

### Cloud Hosting

This option is quite attractive, as it combines multiple services to create the most convenient experience possible. Although traditional hosting remains reasonably easy, as soon as you add in a database, permanent file storage, and deliberate infrastructure for Node apps, you are left with four or five different services that all need to work seamlessly together.

With this change, Payload aims to solve this problem by offering a simple and cost-effective hosting solution. This would combine all the aforementioned services into one.

It should be noted that this is not required, and users are still encouraged to host their instances. However, this service simply takes a lot of the expenses and challenges associated with hosting out of the equation.

As of now, things haven’t been finalized. But, you can keep an eye on the discussions on [ GitHub](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to keep up with it.

## Wrapping Up

As an emerging CMS option, it is great to see Payload take this step to become a popular alternative to WordPress and other options. Additionally, it appears to me that the Payload team is confident in their new business model, signifying a (hopefully) bright future for them.
