Creating a store should be this simple. Better still it's for subscription based products. Pete, Scott and Joel have done it again, bravo. p.s. good gif game on the landing page

Well done guys. Can't think of a better time for this. Every non-essential retailer experiencing covid closures should use this to keep their best selling products moving. Great opportunity and well done you guys for spotting it and moving fast!

@barry_lynch thanks Barry. Really encouraged by the conversations we have been having to date with traditional retailers about Nine!
Barry Lynch
@scott_wylie1 are one off purchases possible?

@scott_wylie1 @barry_lynch They are indeed Barry, although we are trying to focus on the subscriptions to set us apart from some of the other e-com platforms. I think we will highlight this more once we get more traction. Would be good to get a call arranged to hear your thoughts around this actually!

Firstly a massive thanks to our friend and mentor @chrismcclelland for hunting Nine today! Your continued help and guidance over the past few months has been incredible! What can we say, it has been a strange year to say the least for us. A bit about us, we created and launched the product payhere, out of our dev agency, on producthunt just under two years ago. We then stopped taking on agency work just at the start of the pandemic to focus on payhere full time, we have seen great growth during this time and are really pleased with the progress we are making. HOWEVER, over the past few months we have been continually approached by users to turn payhere into a place to sell physical products. That is where the idea of Nine started, we listened and interviewed these users to find out what they wanted. They were after a simple platform to add products to that they could sell on a subscription basis. From our experience of being shopify partners we realised the difficulty/cost associated with setup and the fact that subscriptions are not a fully native feature of many of the big e-commerce platforms. In simple terms Nine allows any individual of any technical knowledge to setup a simple store for their subscriptions, we are not trying to be their main e-commerce store but one that can be run alongside to help generate recurring revenue for them. We would love to answer any questions you might have or hear your feedback 😊

This is amazing Scott! Well done team. I can tell there is a big need for this type of simplicity and convenience for businesses wanting to focus on their product and market.

@carol_rossborough thanks for your comment, that's exactly how we feel. We have spoken to so many small retailers that would love to try subscriptions but don't know where to start or can't take the risk of paying for something simply to test it with their customers. This is where Nine will hopefully help!

Congrats on the launch guys. This may the simplest way to collect subscription payments I've seen, props on that. Curious... what kinds of use cases are you seeing from your early adopters? Anything standing out?

@shylands thanks for the kind words! We’re seeing existing businesses who are online already, struggling to get subscriptions going, mainly due to cost as they need developers to integrate something like recharge with shopify, so to try out subs is costly, we think being able to try it out using something like Nine will make a big difference. We are also seeing side hustle type businesses who are launch purely based on a subscription model, who don’t need a traditional site as they do all their sales on social platforms like Instagram, all they need is a checkout and we slot pretty well into that workflow too.

I love it! Having been in ecommerce for quite a long time, it's great to see a bold product like this appear which makes a (relatively) complex business model & payment method seem easy. The signup was fast, subscribing equally so (good job too!), and the web interface for updating the store front is so simple, yet good looking, that it would be easy to make use of this service without it looking off-brand. Last point but an important one, Stripe Test Mode is supported! It is surprising how often this is missed off the feature list of new ecom-oriented platforms :)

@theflowagency Thanks so much Glenn! You have made our day with this comment 🙂 We’re really glad you like the product, and we have tried to make it as easy as possible for people to try it out – especially test payments/checkout flow without having to pay us, as we only want customers who genuinely like the product. Thanks again!

Let’s go team! I can see this product having a hugely positive impact for SMBs struggling in the aftermath of COVID. Subscription offerings are a really neat way to diversify your revenue stream and for many customers are actually the preferred way to support a business. So cool to see you build such a beautifully simple product to help people go make that bread 🔥🔥🍞🍞

So good. Full store setup in less than 10 mins 🤯. Unicorn T-Shirts will be delivered by Xmas, think I may need to save a few for the Nine team. Serious question, do I need a Stripe account to accept payments?
Scott Wylie
Maker
@ian_browne Thanks Ian for the feedback! Yes looking forward to getting my t-shirt soon! Yes you do need a Stripe account to use Nine. When you initially create store it is automatically in stripe test mode so you can see everything working. At that stage (go live) you can connect your Stripe account or simply create one through the Nine platform. :)

Amazing - nice work team!
