I can see the value for non-tech-savvy users. Simple (to understand) product, clear description and instructions.
For non-price sensitive products (i.e. the type of products you'd expect to be developed and sold on line by small / indie producers), the 5% cost of payment (Stripe + Trolley) can be factored in the price without too much pain.
My main question is how many potential customers are there, who aren't already selling through a complete platform such as Etsy.
- rorygibson 8y agoHi laurentl That is an excellent question - in fact it's exactly the one I'm trying to answer with this MVP of Trolley :) Right now I've "launched" on HN and IndieHackers only, and I'm focussing on software, lean-startup folks to gather feedback. Next up will be questions around digital downloads ("information products" and other things), so I'll need to engage more with those communities. I don't believe they're well served by Etsy, though they do have alternatives. Right now it's all about learning where our product and markets best align - and the feedback I'm getting here today is enormously valuable. Thanks!
