Ask HN: Please review my (relaunched) MVP: magicshop.io

I'd love your feedback on Magic Shop - the idea is to make adding an online store to any existing website super simple. Once you drop in my third party JS it adds store functionality, right now that only includes adding products and selling them via PayPal. Future features include other payment methods, a full blown cart and way, way more. Any feedback you have is greatly appreciated, also feel free to email me at kevinkhandjian@gmail.com

Do you have a working product? I don't see any screen shots of what it actually looks like or what this simple 15 minute setup actually is. The idea is good in the sense that frictionless e-commerce setup is always a good idea but I have no idea if YOUR idea is good because I have no clue how its implemented.

  Yes, it works from signup to store launch, I guess it would be a good idea to set up a demo store to play with (thanks!) Once you drop the code in you get a floating button on your site when logged in: http://i.imgur.com/asXjdiv.png http://i.imgur.com/asXjdiv.png There isn't a whole lot of screen to show you, but I think a demo store would show all of that off really well.

  I went ahead and made a demo for people to check out here, I'll get something mocked up and set up the account for auto-login so people can test it on the site ASAP: http://magicshopdemo.tumblr.com http://magicshopdemo.tumblr.com email: demo@magicshop.io password: demo

Beautiful landing page. When I click "sign up for free" the "begin selling now" text was on the bottom third of my screen, should be in the middle or at the top.

  Thanks! And good call, I just pushed a fix for that.

Chrome is mad that the ssl certificate is issued to *.herokuapp.com and not magicshop.io hence demo doesn't work for me.

  Ah thanks. SSL is now off until I move off Heroku or pony up for the monthly SSL fee.
