🚧 Shipping a simple landing page? Not so simple.
Hey Indie Hackers just wanted to share a small roadblock I hit today while trying to launch my landing page for Pinggle.app, my new SaaS project for Airbnb host cleaning coordination.
I thought:
“Just build the page, connect Paddle, and ship it.”
Turns out… not quite.
Paddle rejected my domain because I didn’t have SSL set up (HTTPS).
They said the site looked offline or insecure — which makes sense, but I didn’t expect the approval to fail just for that.
đź’ˇ What I learned:
âś… Always check that your domain has SSL before submitting it to a payment provider.
🔄 Getting a rejection isn’t a failure — it’s just another step in the shipping process.
🧠Even “one-page launches” involve ops work you didn’t plan for.
🔧 Next steps:
- Set up SSL (Let’s Encrypt via Framer or Cloudflare)
- Re-submit to Paddle
- Keep documenting the launch in public (build logs, fails included)
