10,000 customers is very impressive. By comparison, Shopify has been running since 2006 and has just broken the 50,000 customer barrier.<p>That said, Tictail is currently a free service. From what I can tell, no-one's paid them a penny. The real test will be how many of their merchants stick around once the add-on pricing is (a) announced and (b) goes into effect in May.<p>EDIT: From their help section (<a href="http://help.tictail.com/customer/portal/articles/531368-how-can-tictail-be-free" rel="nofollow">http://help.tictail.com/customer/portal/articles/531368-how-...</a>):<p>&#62; Our ambition is to offer these add-ons at between 1€ - 5€ / month.<p>(full disclosure: I'm a Shopify employee.)

Very nice design. Easy to start a shop. I just launched one myself: <a href="http://water.tictail.com/" rel="nofollow">http://water.tictail.com/</a><p>I just wonder if there is a market for my products ;)

Can this be used for selling virtual goods? Is it convenient enough when shipping address is not required? And are people willing to pay?<p>To experiment with that, I set up a new store at <a href="http://askme.tictail.com/" rel="nofollow">http://askme.tictail.com/</a>

I'm a strong believer in TicTail. They have a great team and seem to be building a userbase rapidly. It will be quite interesting to see what happens once they launch their paid add-ons.
