SAAS Quickstart? Fastest way to getting paid users leveraging Stripe?
As in the title, I have been building out a SAAS application for e-commerce.
Ideally, I'd like to secure presales. I've got a landing page set-up with Carrd at the moment and was wondering if it was possible to integrate payment with stripe, for presale subscription.
The MVP for the platform is giving advertising and product data to e-commerce users. I've built the web crawlers to get the data already and built an API so I can query product data, which I can easily make accessible to users.
I've also built a react front-end to display the data to non-coders. This would take more time to set up fully as I need to do some data modeling. (The vision is to create a no-code ML and AI platform for a variety of datasets, making intelligent decision making more widely accessible).
I'm worried that building out the entire platform will take a lot of time without proving sales or product-market fit. I've done some posts across Reddit and found evidence of demand via signups though and there are competitors in the ecommerce market already, and what i'm building is a much more complete product, so I think it's validated in that sense.
For anyone else who has been in this situation - what's the best way to move the business forward without getting stuck too far into the technical mechanics?
Not sure if this is what you're asking but Stripe allows individuals from a handful of countries to get payments without establishing a business. Check their support docs to see if you're living in one of them.
