For the box that shows a random service, I'd recommend just making it sequential. When it randomly comes back to a service I've seen before, I assume that I've seen all the services.<p>For example, I got: YouTube, Tumblr, YouTube, YouTube, Twitter

Your design overall is really nice. Me thinks this is either becoming a crowded space or there's just a lot of people doing similar projects for fun because the payment part is much easier (I did <a href="http://bngal.com" rel="nofollow">http://bngal.com</a> as a side project for example).<p>BIG QUESTION: why PayPal for disbursing funds? With Stripe and BalancedPayments as options, I'm not sure why you'd use PayPal (other than possibly international reach).

You should consider modifying your pricing to be more in line with gumroad --- who appear to be your main competitor. They charge 5 percent of the purchase price plus a $0.25 flat fee.

Great work, love the design. One thing I'd like to see before I sign up, though, is a sample "product / purchase page". When I needed something like this I ran to Gumroad because I had used them before (as a customer) and loved the experience.

Great looking product, I'm a big fan of empowering everyday people to make money doing what they love. ShopLocket is a (local) favourite of mine, and I think GumRoad is also in this category.<p>Are there specific use cases that CropUp provides more value? Eg. on physical products? Photography? Digital downloads?<p>I ask because I see more and more similar products cropping up (pardon the pun) which want to help anyone sell anything online, but can't help but think that focusing on a specific vertical may result in the platform providing more value to the sellers.

Looks great. One thing I was looking for is a demo/test purchase. As a seller I want to know how it looks like to buy my product. In general, a sandbox with a bunch of test products and credit card numbers would make it a lot easier to adopt. Good luck.

I like it. But 10% seems a little high - I'd at least have reduced percentages for volume.<p>I'm not sure if you have (or intend) to support people with a lot of products, but I'd be interested to see how it works if you have 50 products vs. 500 vs. 5000. It would be nice to get group reporting (like every color of a T-shirt combined, all my mugs, etc. Ideally with tags instead of categories so you can cross-report).

Cool! This is a pretty crowded space but your site looks great. My one criticism is that the pricing is pretty hidden. That's the first thing I look for before signing up for something like this. It's especially important in this case because the service is supposed to help users make money, so they will really want to know how much they can make. Don't be ashamed that you take a cut for providing an awesome service!

The start selling button seem to be displaying incorrectly on chrome. The color isn't filling the button and instead it takes the color of the background.

The website looks great! When I opened it, for some reason, I instinctively looked for a short video explaining what the website does and how it works. Maybe that could be something you might want to consider? Also, I had to check the comments here in order to find a demo product page - I would recommend you add a demo product page link on the front page, so people can see how it looks like in practice.

Ten percent is too high.

US only. And it's quite hard to figure out. This is all I could find&#62;<p><a href="http://cropup.com/help/merchant" rel="nofollow">http://cropup.com/help/merchant</a><p><i>What about international buyers?<p>Yep, no problem. You can accept payments from international customers.</i>

Excellent idea! Waiting for digital goods selling / purchase notification API.<p>But.. if you give money to sellers with PayPal, you're paying PayPal fee?

Is this only for people who don't have a product order form yet, or is there a way for us to benefit from using you too?

Nice idea, but I couldn't find a demo product or some place with current customers so I can check how it looks, etc

I know you guys are overwhelmed with work by now, but I really want to know how was your experience with AngularJS.

Really cool idea and site. How do you guys differ from CashieCommerce.com ?

I think 10% will create a rather large barrier to entry for most.

What provider do you use for processing the credit card payments?
