30x500 teaches two things: 1) How to uncover real problems that people are wiling to pay you to resolve 2) How to speak to those people in words they can understand (like 30x500.com speaks to people who don't know what to build). The c

Ever try emailing founders instead? I wonder if you'd get a better and/or faster response. Perhaps you could require your product submitters to insert the contact email for the products they are submitting. Then, you could auto em

I don't know that this is true for Show HN posts (since it's a comparable product). It seems most Show HN's are posted by the creators. And Product Hunt is the other way around because most creators are not allowed to post th

I don't have any long term plans right now, but I'm always open to investigating all business opportunities. I'm not working on any new features at the moment. Those will most likely come about as people start making suggest

I often don't have time to check out Show HN posts in real-time. So, I built this app to email myself a daily list of yesterday's Show HN posts. It's ordered by points, easy to read via email, and links directly back to HN fo

Snappy Checkout has an icon to mark an item as shipped. Check it out here: https://www.snappycheckout.com/images/itemshipped.png

People use a second service because PayPal does not offer such a feature.

The page (at the above link) with the various pricing options is the only page that is using Snappy Checkout. Inside of the Snappy Checkout admin, I added four products -- so each could have a separate price. And there is a buy button linke

Pricing appears on the main page twice -- "You only pay the standard credit card processing fee — plus either 2% or 50¢ per sale". I tried to make it as easy as possible, but it gets a little complicated if you're using Strip

You can do that in Snappy Checkout by creating separate products. Here's an example of where I do that with one of my products: https://www.SingersCreations.com/WeatherWatcherLive/Pricing

https://SnappyCheckout.com allows you to accept Stripe and/or PayPal.

My service ( https://snappycheckout.com ) offers a Stripe Checkout like experience and allows you to sell files from Dropbox. It costs 2% or $0.50 (whichever is less) per sale (plus the usual Stripe/PayPal fees).

I created an easy way for people to add a Stripe Checkout payment form to their website. It works like this: * Connect your Stripe account via Stripe Connect * Build the checkout by filling in a form * Add a single line of JavaScript to you

I'm working on it. Please send me an email if you need help with anything in the meantime.

Every other payment processor charges a percentage -- agreed. So, it seems people have no choice right now. They are going to pay a percentage no matter where they go. I'm open to pricing suggestions. I was just trying to do what I tho

It seems someone loses either way. Charge a flat fee and small transactions are more expensive. Charge a percentage and large transactions are more expensive. I suppose you could do some combination of both, but that would make the pricing

Always be shipping :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it.

I'm not concerned about it... if this was directed toward me. I guess it could become a problem if I release a product named Snappy Support though.

After adding a product in the "Products" section of the admin, click the link icon to the right of your product to see the available linking options. You can add a link to your website or link your customers to your checkout at sn

I would think anyone who has an online store would want their checkout to work in all web browsers. IE just happens to have a pretty plain looking window that works best for screenshots where the window is not important :)

Thanks... and noted. Custom checkout fields are on my to-do list.

You can use Stripe only, PayPal only, or Stripe + PayPal. When using PayPal only, you cannot collect subscription payments -- due to the limitations of the way I'm using PayPal. Snappy Checkout shows prices in USD no matter which of th

And it's more convenient than trying to use Stripe & PayPal separately. There are also features (like fraud detection, digital delivery, etc.) that Stripe & PayPal do not offer -- and probably never will.

Right! And for those people who do not want to spend the time coding/maintaining their own system.

Makes sense. I'm all for making things easier. There is no reason why I could not charge the 50 cents for Stripe charges immediately. And, then come back and charge 50 cents for any PayPal transactions (if any) at the end of the month.

That would be possible. Just link the Facebook image to the link that points to the checkout at snappycheckout.com.

- I have no plans to host downloads. Dropbox, S3, etc. live and breathe that stuff. I think Dropbox is easier for the average person to setup, so I chose to go with them. - Hosted checkout pages -- like a form directly in your website? - Th
