We excluded rocketr.net because it does NOT meet our privacy standards. When you register an account, a message will pop up: Uh oh. You are using a Proxy or a VPN to access our service. To prevent abuse, we don't allow users to use these services to sell on our platform. We do occasionally make exceptions, please contact support@rocketr.net for more information.! ↩
Bitcoin Single Address suppot is good but not perfect. Each address should be used only once for better privacy and security when receiving Bitcoin payments. ↩
What are the risks of revealing my xPub? The xPub key is public. Sharing it with Sell.app or any third party won’t let them access your wallet. Your Bitcoin funds and keys remain under your control. However, sharing it can lead to privacy risks. The recipient can see all your wallet’s public keys, addresses, and transactions. Keep your private keys safe, and your funds will stay secure. Use a decoy wallet, not your cold storage, directly! ↩

I'm surprised none of them support lightning. Selling cell phone wallpapers or ebooks on chain seems pretty inefficient.

Cool write up, though. I didntvknow about any of these services.

I was surprised too, especially since none of them focus solely on Bitcoin. They were the best choice because they offer media file hosting and Bitcoin payments. Lightning integration would have been ideal! I had to use $21 in the demo product because receiving a small amount, like $2.10, on-chain didn't make sense.

I think supertestnet made a Magic Webstore that fits the bill, but I don't know if he is still working on it.

Yes, it could. The main differences are that it is self-hosted, has only on-chain capabilities, and does not allow for media hosting. I can’t really call it a product; it feels more like an experiment.

Media hosting is an underestimated feature. It lets products be auto-delivered instantly after successful payment. This provides customers with a great experience and boosts satisfaction more than other methods. For sellers, it offers relief since they can scale more easily, faster, at the cost of building customer relations.

Another platform excluded was autobuy.io. It didn’t meet the research requirements. They needed a Coinbase Commerce API for payments. Also, it does not offer media hosting. If you’re curious, you can check our demo store here: https://autobuy.io/@AG0RA
