@markoxvee I'll let @iwearyourshirt talk about how Bumpsale came about and how his concept has evolved over time. He's best suited for that :) He wrote a great article on Medium as well that's worth a read if you're interested (https://medium.com/writing-by-ja...). As far as adding additional payment methods, absolutely...we'd love to be able to expand that offering. Stripe was the quickest way for us to get up and running and put the product in front of people so we ran with it to start. Do you have any recommendations for providers you'd be interested in seeing supported?

@markoxvee Hey Marko! The very first use of Bumpsale came with my IWearYourShirt.com business. There was no product there, just selling my t-shirt advertising in a unique way. I needed something to convince the world that they should pay a complete nobody to wear their company's t-shirt for a day. I have to give credit to @chrisyeh who helped me very early on to come up with Bumpsale pricing. I think the first product I sold using Bumpsale pricing came many years later and was the The Bundle of Awesome with the podcast I co-host with @pjrvs. We batted around different ideas for selling a bundle, and it was at the same time I had been thinking about productizing Bumpsale and creating a simple way for other people to use it to sell their stuff. When our bundle launched it took off as I shared in the article @conraddecker linked to on Medium. And yes, we are looking at other payment processors. Stripe just makes things SO easy and companies like Paypal do not. But it is on our product roadmap. :)

@robingood this is right next to the "Start for free" button at the top. Bumpsale is 100% free to use until you make a sale. Once you make a sale we charge a 3% transaction fee and Stripe charges their ~3% fee. So on a $100 sale, you'd only pay $6 total in transaction fees. Sorry if this wasn't made clearer :)

@thetylerhayes thanks Tyler! It's been really fun to use Bumpsale to sell things over the years. It creates an interesting sense of urgency if you can drive traffic to something you sell.

@iwearyourshirt i bet. i love products that enable the "middle class" of users to succeed faster/easier/better, like Gumroad, Stripe, Moonclerk, etc. this fits in that category

@pjrvs it's fun to think we've generated over $100,000 in revenue using Bumpsale for our various projects/products!

@jamilvelji Hey Jamil! It's on our roadmap, but it's a feature that's really hard to think about spending time on, when services like InstaPage, LeadPages, Unbounce, MegaphoneApp, etc, etc, etc, exist. There are 25 results just here on Product Hunt: http://www.producthunt.com/#!/s/... I'm not sure we'll move forward with creating landing pages because it's such a crowded market and because many of those companies I listed do a great job already.

@rossdcurrie Great questions! This was one of the harder things that we had to work through up front, making sure people are only getting charged what they expect to get charged and giving purchasers a fair amount of time to complete their transaction. Currently, the button process works as follows: - You visit a site with a Bumpsale button and see the current purchase price on the button. - As other people make purchases, you see the purchase price increase in real time on the button. - When you click the button to make a purchase, your price is “frozen” for you and you have 5 minutes to complete your transaction. - During that time, as other people continue to make purchases, you see the pricing on the button continue to increase BUT you still have your frozen price until your timer runs out or you make that purchase. This was our first pass at the best way we could think to do this and it feels like a good start. It gives people who might be purchasing an appropriate amount of time to get their credit cards out and complete a purchase. It does open up the potential that a couple purchases could be made at the same price point but it seems like a fair tradeoff for making sure that you’re not surprising someone with a $21 purchase when they’re expecting to pay $20 :) We’re planning on continuing to evaluate ways to improve this but it seems to be doing the trick so far. We’ve had several high traffic Bumpsales that seemed to handle this process just fine…no confused purchasers!

@costayolo Hey Costa. There are many projects like Bumpsale that companies can easily make, but don't. I've had plenty of technically-savvy friends who've built their own version of this for their projects. Our goal is to make it as simple and easy for people who can't build these things themselves. A completely different target demographic. To answer your other question, yes, we do have a bunch of features on our product roadmap. Right now we're focusing heavily on making sure Bumpsale is stable, fast, and incredibly easy for anyone to implement to sell a product using incremental pricing.

@cooluck Hey Roman! Bumpsale currently allows you to have any bump price you'd like...even no bump at all. $0.00, $0.01 and $1.00 should all work, did you experience otherwise? Let me know and I'd be happy to take a look. Cheers!

@conraddecker thanks for answer. Something wrong with calculator under Chrome 45.0.2454.85 @ Mac OS X 10.10.5 (14F27) http://take.ms/c0QGF

@cooluck hey Roman, thanks for the heads up. We are aware of the glitch when trying to use the calculator with cent increments. @conraddecker is working on a fix :)

@cooluck Ah, I see! Thanks for catching that :) The calculator on that page is a standalone javascript calculator that is there for a quick calculation...I didn't realize it didn't handle decimal points. I'll make sure to get it updated! That said, the actual Bumpsale app works great with any amount, feel free to give it a shot. Cheers!
