Are you referring to selling digital photos? If so, you can sell any kind of file with Snappy Checkout.

Isn't Shopify mostly targeting people who want to sell multiple items via a shopping cart and/or host their product website at Shopify?

It is a problem if you have a manual fulfillment process. But, not too important if you're currently using a checkout system elsewhere.

USD is the only currency Snappy Checkout is able to handle right now.

I'm in the same boat -- the payments I collect for my products are split pretty evenly between Stripe & PayPal. Answers: 1) As in being able to change the subscription price each month? Snappy Checkout does allow you to manually ch

Stripe did not offer subscriptions when I built that feature in Snappy Checkout.

License key fulfillment can be done now using the Snappy Checkout API & webhooks. This process is undocumented right now... but, I'm working on it. In the meantime, I can help anyone get it going via email.

I think a sole proprietorship would be sufficient.

Good questions. Snappy Checkout is not a shopping cart. It'll only work in situations where a purchase involves buying a single product (e.g. an eBook). Reviews, pictures, etc. are things that fall outside of the scope of Snappy Checko

Thanks! I'll fix it.

This is a great point. At $5, 50 cents is more expensive than the other payment systems that charge a percentage of the sale price (e.g. Gumroad).

No. The fee is charged at the beginning of the month. So, for all payments received in April, you'll be charged 50 cents per payment on May 1st. I thought of using Stripe's API to remove the 50 cents right away, but that's no

Not at the moment. It should be possible to do though if that data can be retrieved in some common format -- like CSV.

It allows people to setup a checkout without knowing how to use the Stripe API. And, for those that do know how, not everyone wants to invest the time to do so. I don't think most of what Snappy Checkout does is on Stripe's roadma

What kind of issues do you see with the downloads? My system keeps track of failed payment attempts (e.g. a declined credit card OR invalid card code). When a successful payment is made, I look through the history of failed payments to look

I did miss them. Sorry :( A: When accepting Stripe payments via Snappy Checkout, all of your customer data is still available in Stripe. If you left Snappy Checkout to use something else, the only thing that would not work is subscriptions.

Let me know if there is anything preventing you from using Snappy Checkout. It does a lot right now, but I'm willing to make it better if it won't work for your business is-is.

No. But, I could add this type of payment option. This would only work if paying with Stripe though. When paying with Stripe, I create a Stripe customer via their API. So, I can come back later and charge that customer again whenever. Edit:

Thanks for checking it out. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Snappy Checkout does have an API (just some basic calls right now) & webhooks that can help with digital fulfillment. For my own business, a webhook notifies me of a new sale and I use the Snappy Checkout API to verify that the sale is

For digital products, a download link is included in the emailed receipt. I use the Dropbox API to create a temporary download link that is active for 4 hours. I don't expose the Dropbox link though. Instead, the customer clicks a Snap

Since March 2013, I've been working on building a payment system to sell products for my business. It started out as a modified version of Stripe Checkout. And, from there, I bolted on a full-featured back-end to manage the checkout an

I think it'll be hard to charge for weather alerts via SMS when so many people are already offering that for free -- like me ( http://www.WeatherWatcherAlerts.com ).

If the goal is to make letters look more genuine, then won't it look a bit odd when the postmark on the letter shows it being mailed from a different state?

A lot of those links are broken and/or seem to link to services that are only in business to help sell software. I was thinking of a system that generates license keys, allows software to check in to verify those license keys, notify custom
