Show HN: Sell.app – A simple way to sell digital goods

We recently launched SellApp and wanted to share it with the HN community.

SellApp is a simple way to sell digital products online. A digital goods seller can spin up a storefront in less than a minute and start selling instantly, while we automatically take care of all the difficult parts — delivery, checkout, payment methods, security, and more.

We built SellApp with a small (remote) team of 3, in a little less than 4 months from start to finish (happy to elaborate more on how)

What makes SellApp different from competitors:

1. Simplicity; Unlike competitors whose interfaces overwhelm first-time seller of digital products, we decided to keep our interface as minimal/simple as possible.

2. Payments; where other storefronts tend to custody funds and pay sellers out after 7-14 days, we enable sellers to receive earnings instantly.

3. Pricing: Alternatives either charge a high monthly recurring subscription to start, or take anywhere between 8% to 25%+ in commission per sale. It's completely free to start selling on SellApp, with no fees being taken (though we'll introduce a 3% fee per sale in a couple months)

Happy to answer any questions and go more in-depth on the technical side of things.

This is generally subdivided into 4 different types:

1. A file which you can download, for example an eBook.

2. A text-based product, such as a game key or license code.

3. An online service, like creating a logo for someone.

4. A dynamic delivery which lets you programmatically perform certain actions once a payment is successfully processed. A good example is automatically upgrading someone's account on your forum (or Discord channel)

How does this compare to SnipCart?

Our roadmap currently looks something like this: API -> subscriptions -> product embeds -> basket system (so a customer can purchase multiple digital items from the same store)
