Group Buys: The marketplace for group buys nobody else will host

Hey Hunters — Himanshu here, maker of Group Buys. The origin story: I kept watching vendors in niche communities run group buys out of spreadsheets and Discord threads. Every one had the same shape — collect interest, hit MOQ, take Zelle or PayPal F&F payments, ship in a batch. And every one had the same problem: card processors won't touch these categories, so vendors are stuck cobbling Google Forms + Sheets + DMs together. Group Buys is the storefront for that workflow. • Vendors publish a buy → set MOQ, deadline, variants • Buyers reserve slots, pay the vendor directly via Zelle or PayPal F&F • We run the catalog, the order pipeline, the receipt-review queue, and buyer comms • Vendors pay a flat fee per buy. No monthly. No % of sale. Categories we host: the ones Stripe declines and Shopify boots you for. We don't touch money — the vendor verifies their own receipts in our admin. That's the whole trick, and it's why this works where a normal storefront can't. Genuinely want feedback, especially from anyone who's ever tried to run one of these on a Google Sheet. Roast the UX. Ask anything. — Himanshu
