How does a seller deal with taxes and related legal stuff across jurisdiction? Do you handle them automagically?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Agreed. There are proxies which defeat detectors. If i were a fraudster i'd use those. So all you're doing is losing real customers.
Can you name some?
Couldn't sign in after sign up, keeps looping me in Verification. Please fix!
What makes you better than Gumroad?
Given their refocus/pivot, it's made their interface a little too complex/overwhelming for new sellers and/or sellers who just want to sell digital products without all the hassle. SellApp is built for this segment of the market.
Congrats on the launch. The first thing I did was check if you are an MoR or a front for other payment gateways and quickly realised it is the latter. Please make it an MoR. We have too many digital goods/services payment processors (which I am sure many commenters have already listed) but very very few that are a full blown MoR. I don't mind paying 5%-8% fees for MoR. MoR is the selling point for me. Everything else…
We are not a MoR, and aren't planning on becoming one either. There's already fairly decent MoR solutions out there which take payments on the seller's behalf and distribute funds after a given timeframe (usually 1-2 weeks).
You could indeed spin up something that somewhat does the job with Stripe and some coding, but not everyone can code, and doing so also requires you to worry about hosting, domains/DNS, file distribution, security, fraud, and so on.
What we offer is a simple, straightforward way for someone to spin up a store in minutes, sell a digital good, and have the funds in their account right when the sale is completed. I think that's a bigger value-add than being yet another MoR

Thanks for explaining. Would this work for an ebook that has unique watermarking per customer, or does it have to be the same exact downloadable each time? Other than ebooks, what are other popular product types that you're seeing?
Not a worry. We don't have eBook watermarking/stamping yet, so every customer will get the same exact eBook. That said, it's relatively easy to implement this specific feature (pretty sure I've got the relevant code from our old codebase somewhere) if/when a seller requests it. It's mostly either downloadable goods, or serial-based products, but we launched just last week so I anticipate the type of popular product t…

Why would you trust a startup over Stripe? And what is wrong with Stripe to begin with?
"while we automatically take care of all the difficult parts" Taxes are the difficult part.
