(I do product at CropUp.) Fair point. We're open to exploring other pricing structures based on the market feedback we'll get. In general, goal is to rather be the Apple of eCommerce than the Dell. (Well, that sounds cheesy and not in a good way :) Sorry.) We don't want to be the cheapest service but the one that provides our sellers with the most value.

One interesting avenue for providing further value so that people might not balk at the 10% fee (as witnessed by a few skeptics in this thread), would be to perhaps provide next-day shipped shipping labels for merchants. It seems that since the orders will be coming through CropUp, why not hold the hand of the merchant just a few steps further? Intake orders, print shipping labels, provide shipping materials to merch…

Excellent thinking! This is one of the ideas on our list, no concrete plans or timing yet though. It should just be real simple to sell the products you make so that you can spend more time on the things you actually care about like making some cool products.

Much better! I really, really like the design. Better than Gumroad IMO. On the other hand, I would highlight a bit more or add more contrast to the link "My shipping address is not in the US", just in case. Other than that, it would be great to have a "test product" just like this but where we wouldn't need to input real CC details, just to check out the whole process, emails being sent, etc. Anyway, on what I've see…

(I work at CropUp, I'm the founder) Thanks for the feedback and we're working on a test product feature for sellers. Yes, we only support physical products for now. Digital goods will be coming soon.

Is there any way to be added to your mailing list or something to be updated of new features in the product? If so, feel free to add {my username}@gmail.com to it.

Did the limitation of having only one ng-view affect your project at all? I'm embarking on a new project using Angular and there are mixed opinions on the web. People that were shouting against it have come back saying that it's actually not so bad [1]. [1] https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/angular/...

(Tech lead @ CropUp) In the first iteration, we thought multiple ngViews would have been useful, but it didn't prevent us from achieving the design we wanted. You can use ngInclude to accomplish a similar effect, if you don't need the routing. AngularUI seems to have a solution for nested views/routing here ( https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router ). Although, I would think about your routes and the pieces of your w…

It sure makes more sense, but you need to write boilerplate code to map URL state to ng-include changes/updates. It would be nice if it was out of the box.

I don't know the details of your app but maybe you should consider using ngView in the outer most container, then everything inside the container can pick the appropriate template via ngInclude. That's the path we took in our first iteration, this current iteration actually doesn't need nested/multiple ngViews.

Really cool idea and site. How do you guys differ from CashieCommerce.com ?

(I do product at CropUp.) I'm not familiar with them, but I'll check them out now. Have you used them? Do you like them?

Yeah - I know the guys building it - I definitely like their product and take on the market. It seems like it must be a crowded space, just saw this come up on HN: https://trychec.com
