Great! Now it's very visual and easy to work with! Do you plan to put it on a simpler domain? savewithsquare.io or something like that...
Another thing that you could consider is to print little cards with the different example calculations and you can then just hand these over to the merchant to check out :)
I've been working seven days a week for months and launching a new business in July. I'm sitting at my desk now and working.
As much as it's been enjoyable to build this while Codex works on the new business, I need to keep some things simple, like just using that GitHub URL for now. My thought is that if I build something like this and it really catches on and people use it, I'm happy to clean it up later this summer. It's definitely functional now. Also, I don't really want another URL to manage. The GitHub URL is really handy.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the feedback, because this was something it absolutely needed, and it's much more functional. Two guiding principles in my life are simple and useful, and I do think this is both of those things.
Again, thanks for helping out.
Done. š
I set the default to what felt like the fewest customers at a reasonable purchase size: $13 and 7 people per day. That gets the merchant above the $1,000 mark.
The the math you secreenshoted above was good too, but this one dials it back and shows how a merchant can realistically get to $1,000 or more in saved fees. On their side, that is a real number. Four digits gets attention.
This has been great to build and talk through with people here.
To be clear, I know there are tradeoffs with trying to do this through Square. Obviously there is the KYC aspect, and this is completely different from me buying the bison ribeye I ate last night over Lightning. I prefer that.
But the flip side is that everyone starts somewhere.
In my own journey, I owned the ETF, then I ran a node, and now Iām putting together my signing devices. I donāt think we should automatically discredit the newbie or the normie who just wants to save some fees in their business. And I'm not sure that isn't one of the most important people to orange pill.The small business owner.
For the guy at the farmers market I just bought pasta from, I think I have a much better chance of going back next week while heās packing up and showing him how I could pay with Bitcoin.
And honestly, an important part of that interaction was that I had two bags of pasta in my hand when I asked if I could come back next week. He's open to it.
That is a completely different situation than walking up empty-handed and saying, āTurn this on.ā
But yes, P2P with two Phoenix wallets is the goal.
Anyway, enough of me. Happy Fatherās Day to all the dads out there.
