I looked into snipcart however the admin was slow, and the pricing was much more expensive then Shopify when at scale (revenues in the millions).
Over the holidays I spent the time to write a Sinatra based replacement for the Shopify Checkout. There is a big opportunity for someone to do with ecommerce what Discorse did for forum software.
- sireat 10y agoWouldn't revenues in the millions justify in not having Shopify but some custom integration with whatever payment processor you are using?
- schappim 10y agoYup, it's absolutely getting to that point, but not for $$$ reasons. Shopify Plus, their enterprise plan is fixed price. This is why I spent much of the holidays writing our own custom cart.
- maxlaboisson 10y agoWhen was the last time you tried Snipcart? We (Snipcart team) noticed a few hiccups with dashboard perf and made some improvements a short while back. If you give it another go for another project, don’t hesitate to let tell us if you think it’s still lacking. Also, we do monthly fixed fees for merchants with >20K/monthly sales.
- cyri 10y agoWorking on that since 2015 ... written in Go. Lots of work to do.
