Vendors might need to consider that the goods they sell for Bitcoin, when translated directly from fiat prices, are WAAAY over-priced.

Agreed. Most of the products I see posted are even more than the most expensive products in the store. Presumably people are willing to pay those prices more than once to try it.

I sell nostr:nprofile1qqsf3vs4hphtnaqg6ekqxg3vfkhuhetnrejt696dn6l292jm9rjvntcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc65awq5 devices for slightly less in Bitcoin than fiat, and that pays me far less than minimum wage. I'm not in it for profit though. I'm in it primarially because I want the devices and secondarially so other people can have nice things too.

Just a heads up, I think your store buy page might be down, just getting a whie empty page.

Thanks. It had been unstable andnow it looks like it's now gone from unstable to completely non-operational. ☹️

I've been trying to find an alternative and ruled out magic web store, superstore, goodstr, plebeian market, and cypher space.

Next one up is shopstr.store.

If that doesn't pan out, I guess I'll just have people email me for an invoice until conduit market is released.

I'll re-double my efforts. 🫡

Not a fan of Zeuspay, BTCPay Server, or Zaprite?

AFAIK, BTCPay is just payment processing. It doesn't have product listing, shoppping cart, order placement, tracking, etc.

I'm not familiar with ZeusPah, but I know Zeus is just a wallet. Fine for selling things at a swap meet, but not for online orders.

I'm not familiar with Zaprite, so I'll put that on my list of things to research

So, BTC Pay server is a fully featured store. You can create items for sale and descriptions, as well as fields for customer information and shipping. All accounting is kept on the server as well and can be exported. There are several API integrations for other applications and all sales go directly to your own self-host wallet.

And zaprite was more of the payment processing than a store host or order organizing solution. (I just threw it out as another popular sales integration.)

Well now I'm much more interested in BTC Pay server. It was already on ny list of something to explore someday if I get bored, but it just got bumped up in priority.

Thanks for the info
