    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.co…

    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 pro…

    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 bec…

    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 like…

    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 rea…

    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 …

    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 ge…

    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/…

    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 (plu…

    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 b…

    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 …

    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 d…

    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 web…

    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 screen…
