Keep in mind that this doesn't actually work as a webshop. It's just a static site generator - there's very little in the way of payment mechanisms, the documentation claims it's "not enforced".
I think it's neat but this isn't competition for Bandcamp. Could be cool if you just want to host some music tracks on a nicely formatted page though.
- toomim 3y agoOh. That's a big deal.
- troymc 3y agoI guess the artist could just give a link to their external e-commerce store hosted by e.g. Lemon Squeezy or whatever.
- dj_mc_merlin 3y agoThey could just set up their site as a wordpress install with one of the many mature payment/web shop plugins. Can be customized as needed as well.
- romwell 3y agoThey could just become software engineers, roll their own solution, start making more money that way, and give up music entirely. Or they could use a platform that was explicitly designed to address their needs without any fuss.

- dj_mc_merlin 3y agoYou misunderstand me. I meant Faircamp could just set up the wordpress site for them instead of their solution that doesn't have payment integration.
- romwell 3y agoMy bad then. Hope they indeed do that.
