I've been meaning to put up a demo store, here's a link to it: https://store.rentify.store/#/P9EuoPUMJ https://store.rentify.store/#/P9EuoPUMJ I'll put this link on the landing page too, once I've added a few more products to it. I'll update the legal docs to open in a new page

I had a look at this. So, I’m renting a bike.. where am I renting it from?

  When you place a booking, it shows you the collection address. But you're probably right, this should be a lot more visible before you get to that stage. The idea is that you refer customers to this site from your main website, but its still valid feedback

That page is not rendering for me on mobile Safari, it’s just giving me a blank page

  Are you including the full path? The last part of the URL is the unique store id - It will render a blank page if that's omitted. On my mobile safari, HN doesn't show me the full URL, but when I click on it, it renders fine

The font is so small and thin that it's hard to read

A suggestion: don't hide the entire store component when you change one of the filters. You can see it flash with unstyled text "loading" before popping back into view. It's much less jarring if you keep the existing content rendered while waiting on the response and swapping it out after the request completes rather than going to a blank screen when you start the request. My personal preference is more subtle loading indicators near the element that triggered the interaction (the filter inputs themselves in this case) but that's probably subjective. I think at the very least you should keep filter bar visible while it's loading so that the element you're interacting with doesn't disappear while you're using it and pop back into view.
