We hadn’t considered bringing a user in the loop; clever advice. We’ll keep this in mind as we move forward in our decision process. Cheers!

Looks amazing! We've been using it for almost a year now, we'll most likely updgrade to the v2 as soon as we can!

Charles, Snipcart co-founder here. As mentioned by the end of the post, we're actively looking to expand our analytics game a bit. Piwik seems like a good place to start, so thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Try running it alongside GA and comparing stats. I did this for a while and switched to Piwik as it consistently counted more visits (legitimate visits, obviously).

Also, please consider adding your Google Analytics use to your privacy policy. They require it, even though most people ignore this requirement and there is no enforcement.

Side note, I just tried @ replying to your companies post on Twitter and got a @your account may not be allowed to perform this action' http://i.imgur.com/9uoEn9B.png Strange, never saw that before...

We received some mentions in the last minutes, and we just reviewed our account settings, nothing seems problematic on our end. Weird indeed. But thanks for the feedback!

That's an important point; I'm seeing referral spam in my GA reports which I never noticed before 2015. I manually discount it when compiling reports, and my understanding is that these spammers hit GA UAs at random without even loading your website.

It's incredible easy to filter this out in GA. Just set a filter or segment that only counts traffic from your known hostnames.

Charles from Snipcart here. Pricing is indeed always a delicate matter in the e-commerce world. You'll always have customers preferring a model over another. We believe the Moltin pricing will make a lot of sense for some people, but others might prefer the no-risk percentage model. I'd say it strongly depends on the merchant's business model. Side note: the guys at Moltin really have a kickass website.

Exactly, we went through four revisions of our pricing and I'm not sure we'll ever be certain it's the "right" one. We just knew we had to simplify it and after user feedback this is the one that stuck.

And thanks for the kind comments, we've always loved your animations and the attention to detail you put into your site. I mean who doesn't want a buy bacon button in their header?

I mostly use StackEdit https://stackedit.io/

By far the most elegant markdown editor I found.

StackEdit is very nice, it's certainly one of the best.

FYI We had to reboot some virtual machines via the portal due to the issues in East US yesterday but since then they all work.

It is https://snipcart.com

We are seeing a lot of activity on the website since it's on HN ;)

Our SaaS is on Azure Websites until day one and it has been a pleasure to use, since they added the Always On feature and the new SQL Database pricing tier that allows you to have more robusts SQL databases everything runs very smoothly and fast. We can deploy several times a day without having any downtimes, load balancing, etc.

If you need a more advanced shopping cart, there is Snipcart that can connect to Stripe, https://snipcart.com

The cart is fully responsive so it works on mobile as well!

I am one of the founders, let me know if you have any questions.
