Sell.app | Contract - Full-Time - Co-founder | REMOTE Hey everyone, founder of sell.app here. SellApp is a simple way to sell digital products online. A digital goods seller can sp…

We've launched just last week, so there aren't any sizeable businesses who've joined SellApp (yet). However, the few dozen sellers I did have a chance to talk to, primarily cite th…

They are indeed part of what's difficult, which is why we'll be bringing out a number of tools & features to help simplify things.

Thanks Krishna! We are not a MoR, and aren't planning on becoming one either. There's already fairly decent MoR solutions out there which take payments on the seller's behalf and d…

Gumroad seems to be focusing more and more on creators with a large following and is pivoting towards that segment of the market. This includes the decision to diversify into physi…

Just checked, you should have received a verification mail sent to the email you entered during sign-up. Once you click on that, you'll be able to sign in.

Great question! For now, the seller has to deal with taxes themselves, but we plan on introducing a number of nifty ways to streamline & automate this process.

This is a tough one, since it'd be difficult to verify whether the Netflix account does indeed belong to you (versus of it being hacked). I'd say if it's a one-off sale, you're goo…

Hey there, I can't, but feel free to email me directly on yousef 'at' sell.app

I'm off for a couple hours, it's 2AM here, but will get back to this as soon as I wake up. Thanks a lot for the candid feedback HN, learned a lot from talking to you all! I've alre…

Hey, we do indeed use Maxmind for our VPN/proxy detection. So far the experience has been pretty good.

Many thanks! :D

I haven't thought about it like that. Will definitely go about it the way you suggested and remove the "free" badge. Appreciate the suggestion and feedback!

You can indeed spin up a store at absolutely no cost. There's no tracking or A/B testing yet, but you'll definitely be able to see which product performs better in terms of sales.

Ah, good suggestion! Will add that in to prevent confusion

Hey there, I just created an example listing costing 10 cents: https://admin.sell.app/listing/ycombinator-news-test-purchas... - The listing has a volume discount, so if you make t…

Yeah, you're right with their respective histories, though I do think a freemium model with a relatively low fee/tx can definitely work (look at e.g. Gumroad/Shoppy) We do also ind…

One of the things I did, was draft a complete design of the project structure in advance of actually writing any code. This included only the essential features with no additional …

Both Sellfy and Selly charge a monthly fee starting at $20 to even create a store. Rocketr has stalled/been abandoned since early 2019 if I'm not mistaken. However, I do agree with…

Thank you! And yes, we post regular product updates on both our Discord as well as Twitter ( https://twitter.com/AppSell )

Agreed on the first point, however the common thing of storefronts like ours is that they start with digital goods, then tack in physical products, email marketing, affiliate marke…

Not a worry. We don't have eBook watermarking/stamping yet, so every customer will get the same exact eBook. That said, it's relatively easy to implement this specific feature (pre…

With SellApp you can sell both your programming services as well as IP, that's the interesting thing about our platform. We don't limit you on what kind of product you sell, as lon…

Hey there, thank you! The restriction in our AUP is indeed because payment processors (unfortunately) still frown upon platforms which help facilitate the sale of 'adult content'. …

Heh, that's definitely not the case here! I don't think there's very many digital good sellers active on Hacker News to begin with.
