Sell One Thing - Easily create a product page to sell one thing

@alancassinelli We've been hearing that a lot. Currently if you click on the dotted underlined "checkout page", the site will show you the last created product page. We'll have to make it more prominent in our next code push. Thanks for the feedback!

@geetfun @alancassinelli Good point and feedback from a visitor: I didn't get that I had to click on the dots.

@kristofertm Looks great! That pretty much encapsulates the raison d'etre of the site. To quickly throw up a page and sell stuff while being able to accept (Stripe powered currently) credit cards. No fuss. Thanks for trying SOT out!

@geetfun People keep "buying" this product. Can't imagine people are actually spending money on my fictitious product so I tried it myself and didn't even need to enter a CC...

@kristofertm Yup! I noticed a lot of people buying your product too. 😉 If your account is not connected to Stripe, it'll default to creating an order so the seller can follow up with the buyer directly. If Stripe is connected, then a pop up will come up to take the credit card.

@eliservescent The buyer will see a comment box to enter the mailing address or any other order details. It was designed this way to simplify things for this product's iteration. Thanks for checking us out!

@costayolo @deambulando Thanks for the feedback! Gumroad, Leanpub, and other platforms that help sellers sell stuff -- whether digital or physical -- are all essentially distribution channels. In the end, it's all about selling stuff and so there will inevitably be a lot of overlap amongst platforms. For sellers in their early stages, they may start out by using something like craigslist or eBay. As their business grows, they may migrate to Gumroad or Shopify. Sell One Thing is 2 days old, but I'm seeing some early traffic and usage pattern that people are using the tool at a stage where they typically might have used eBay or a landing page, etc. This is especially useful if one just wants to test out the market without having to formally setup an online store that's typical in a lot of SAASes.

@alvinmilton same here ! any alternative ?

@mcoenca probably not, sadly. I totally forgot about this comment and it was never replied to.

@rutgerteunissen Thanks! Went through several iterations and settled on the current one as it required the least amount of clicks while being able to make sure orders get sent through to the seller.

@rossdcurrie Thanks for the feedback. The use scenario you described is definitely something I'm looking into to solving while maintaining the simplicity of the site. We'll likely have some sort of linking products automatically (or manually) and/or a user specific product listing page.

@maxelman Yes, there are plans for both those features. Thanks!

Hi @samuelbeek, really great question. Stripe has its own terms and conditions of services as well as its list of Prohibited Businesses > https://stripe.com/ca/prohibited.... We're currently monitoring submissions and flagging products which are breaking terms of service.

@geetfun @samuelbeek hey guys on another sidenote, with stripe there is an option to click in there to demand CVC, if I had any business integrating with stripe to take $ I would tell my clients up front to be sure that was clicked. I had about $2000 in credit fraud charges last week and it was crushing to say the least. :)
