hey product hunt, i'm faw, building robin as a solo founder. few months back i talked to a food truck owner in kuala lumpur who was turning away customers with cards. getting a terminal would cost him rm2k upfront (usd 500) or rm200/month plus a huge deposit. he makes maybe rm3k on a good month. this is the reality for most small vendors in malaysia. less than half accept card payments. not because they don't want to - cards are actually preferred 17x over qr codes here - but because the barrier is impossibly high. weeks of paperwork. expensive hardware. confusing fee structures. meanwhile everyone has a phone that can do everything a terminal does. so we built robin: - turn any android phone into a card reader in 10 minutes - automated bookkeeping and tax compliance - smart insights on when to reorder, when to run promos where we're at: - live in malaysia. iterating hard and honestly still figuring out pmf. i've spoken to a couple vendors and am tweaking as i go - the infrastructure here is built for big retailers, not micro-businesses. we're trying to change that. question for you: if you ran a small business, what would make you switch from cash/qr to card payments? what are we missing? thanks for checking us out!
