I'm 67 and love programming - all self taught. Without knowing your father let me suggest this with a caveat; there is no right way to learn something as we are each different. What works for one fails for another. Here are my suggesti

Stripe has a nice payments api that is quite easy to build into your own platform. They also have a long list of integrations that would take a bit of time to sort through but may have what you are looking for!
