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! [1] https://useplink.com/en/
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
This is definitely very cool, but I think Shopify still offers a lot (and still has their simple checkout this for $9 a month of whatever, which has a bunch of useful features).

Is it? Most people will still have a website of some sort to actually promote what they're selling. And if you hope to sell more than a handful of items a week, you have to start thinking about fulfillment and customer emails etc. This is definitely very cool, but I think Shopify still offers a lot (and still has their simple checkout this for $9 a month of whatever, which has a bunch of useful features).
Shopifys success is largely due to the fact that they were willing to do the messy dirty work of making a Ecom CMS that works and doesn’t run on Wordpress.
Tech has changed and is catching up. With stripe handling the hardest part about ecom, other companies will sneak up behind Shopify because of better tech and replace traditional websites
Lots of companies Stripe has replaced because of this. I can see new areas of businesses being launched because of how easy Stripe has made it to be paid online, all with no-code!
No more third parties or complex developer integrations or a cut, only get paid with a link with Stripe, That's it!
I welcome this!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Shopify is fine. They have a nice eco-system of devs and integrated apps. Gumroad should be worried.
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.
Here's a screenshot. I did not make an account with any of these completely independent websites. Yet I checked out on all of them without typing my address or payment info. And all my orders appear here with tracking.
