Stripe Payment Links

Mollie has been providing this service under the Plink [1] brand name for quite a while, I was looking for something to get my clients onboard with Stripe without using Billing (main reason being Mollie having difficulty serving corporate US cards from time to time). Nice move, simple product, extremely useful!

This is absolutely the worst news for Shopify.

A very large portion of SMBs want to sell a handful of things without the overhead of maintaining and paying over the top for a e-commerce cms.

This plus social media will be a huge win for a lot of businesses

Shopify is fine. They have a nice eco-system of devs and integrated apps. Gumroad should be worried.

Maybe for the very small sellers, yes. But Shopify will be fine without them. They provide a lot of value to medium size sellers with a lot of turn over, through their app marketplace and integrations.

Shopify is fine is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.

Shopify is the 2008 equivalent in the tech world. Hugely overvalued, no secret sauce (pretty web fronts that are powered by stripe)

Shopifys moat is nonexistent.

I love watching Stripe going upmarket with e-comm streamlining offerings (links, subscriptions), the foresight shows (payment commodification eventually, Value Add Is The Way).
