Very thoughtful analysis! (Stripe engineer working on Relay here) Getting retailers on-board is definitely core to the success of Relay. As announced today Saks and the SAP Hybris platform are live on Relay and we're working with numerous other retailers as we speak. For apps, getting retailers to sell on their platform is a huge pain (custom integration to their APIs and payment systems) convincing them to do so. Fo…
Can I request a Shopify platform integration? My company (www.dodocase.com) would love to sell our products in mobile apps. Feel free to reach out to me at patrick at dodocase dot com.

Firefox here. Awful lag.
(Stripe engineer here) Running firefox as well and indeed they run a bit slow. Mea culpa. I'll let the right person know!
If chrome://gpu/ says hardware rasterization is disabled, set chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to enabled.
Chrome on Windows also will disable acceleration by default if it detects both an Intel and either AMD or Nvidia chipset enabled at the same time, thinking its a hybrid solution (even when it's obviously not, such as an extremely common desktop i5/i7 + high end GPU setup).

This is pretty cool (I'm working on an ecommerce app now). What I'm not clear on is this: Can apps selling relay products get a cut of the sale? What incentive is there for a "product discovery app" (or whatever) to sell other products? Can they define some sort of fee %? UPDATE: Chatted with Stripe on IRC and they clarified that there's currently no way to share sales revenue or let apps define a % commission.
(Stripe Engineer working on Relay here) Indeed there is no way to do so at the moment. But we have that on our radar and we'd like to construct something that makes sense for apps and sellers. Some questions related to that: How would you see it working? Isn't ads the new affiliation in the app world?
Somewhat unfortunately name conflict with https://facebook.github.io/relay/
Meh, there are only so many words. The two things are in quite different segments, so it should be fine.

Its pretty common for Stripe Connect integrations to charge an application fee. With Relay, Stripe would allow some apps that use connect to "move" their products database from their own database to Stripe. Also it allows merchants to sell on more platforms. It just becomes "You can use Relay and Stripe to sell on our platform, however we'll take a 1% transaction fee"
It'll behave as expected if you're familiar with the connect `application_fee`.
Thanks for the feedback and hope you'll make good use of it. Let us know how we can help with anything help!

Agree that the challenge is in obtaining partnerships, but not every retailer needs full control of the shopping experience, especially on mobile. And that's the win - alleviating the need for every retailer to solve the same technical problem.
The challenge for the developer is twofold; 1) Understanding the real time availability of the inventory at the retail partner and 2) Supporting the payment provider of the retailer. In the desktop world this was solved by a straight up affiliate redirect. You arrived at the retailer page and saw your product in a shopping cart or close to it. Of course if inventory was poorly synced you occasionally got an error. Th…
