Very nice. Wish I had known about this several months ago... Charging people for products that are not quite ready to ship yet really does hurt sales vs charging when it ships. Will for sure try this for our next product. Hopefully they will have authorize.net integration by then though because the rates are still better than Stripe or Pay Pal.

celery co-founder here. interested to hear about your next product! we'd be happy to help

How do you guys handle chargebacks? I've been considering doing a run of "physical" dogecoins but as everyone knows cryptocurrencies are a huge market for credit card fraud.

Congrats! Question- would Celery make sense for a food business that takes seasonal pre-orders?

Hey - you can pre-sell anything you want with Celery. Why don't you write us at support@trycelery.com and we'll discuss...
