Is there a demo/ sample page of the product?
We're working with Boosted Boards to help them with their pre-orders: https://www.trycelery.com/p/boosted
I'm missing something. Can you explain this to me as if I were five? I'm really gun shy with anything involving my customers CC data, and I suspect others are too. Some of my concerns: 1) Authorize now but only charge when actually shipping is standard Visa policy. Doing it any other way is not allowed. Your system seems like a workaround for that, which raises my alarm bells. 2) To be clear - you are storing the cre…
In the case of pre-ordering, Celery doesn't make any authorizations/holds upon the creation of the order. We use Stripe to make sure the card is valid and the charge is processed at a later time. Celery does not store the credit cards and all payment information transferred is encrypted with SSL. The cards are held within Stripe's vault. Each seller uses their own Stripe token. The chargebacks would affect the seller…
Is the "Embeddable Checkout Overlay" really Stripe Checkout too? Which of your features are you actually providing and which are really Stripe?
Right now this looks like a simple wrapper around Stripe Connect that waits X days to bill, plus a basic Bootstrap template you can use. What am I missing?
One of the main reasons I feel comfortable about using Kickstarter is the fact that I know my funds won't get released to the company/person unless enough people "fund" it. Once enough people back it then I'm not as worried about losing my money (probably more psychological than anything) because I feel like there would be a huge uproar if someone tried running off. This doesn't really seem to give me as the "pre-ord…
The name "Celery" made me think of the task queue[1]. In both cases though it's a very random name. [1] http://www.celeryproject.org/
The logo looks almost identical to the old celery (task queue) logo. Not sure how the word "celery" relates to payments, but the name of the task queue is not random: rabbits like celery (rabbitmq.com).
Is it me, or is the grammar on this page very confusing. I had to reread sentences multiple times to understand their meanings. I understand it's a marketing page, but it seems like the author is more focused on dropping buzzwords instead of explaining the product
> Spend less time on tracking down lost orders and focus on building great products.
It should be "Spend less time tracking down..."
The bigger issue is that nearly every sentence breaks in awkward places due to the layout of the site.
Examples:
Safely hold payment information
without charging until you're ready
to ship.
Our checkout design is responsive
so your product sells itself on any
desktop, mobile, or tablet device.
Allow purchasing directly on your
site with an embedded checkout
overlay that’s elegant and secure
Similarly, none of the emphasis phrases should start halfway through a line and break:
take pre-
orders in person
For anyone curious, here is a sample/demo page after creation. https://www.trycelery.com/p/my-first-product It looks solid. I see that you mention that you have had quite a lot of press coverage for this.. by the "As Featured In". I can't find any related articles though and I'd be interested in reading them :) https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=link%3Atrycelery.com Plus site:techcrunch.com trycelery.com doesn't work,…
Hey Chris, I'm one of the guys who worked on it. The company name is under Airbrite. We built an e-commerce API and Celery is powered off of it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Whoa - you need to make it clear that I have to bring my own Stripe account. Nowhere is that mentioned on your page. So the 256-bit encryption you're touting on your homepage is really Stripe's 256-bit encryption? Not cool. Is the "Embeddable Checkout Overlay" really Stripe Checkout too? Which of your features are you actually providing and which are really Stripe? Right now this looks like a simple wrapper around St…
