Hi Indie Hackers - Long time no see!
If you don't know me - I am based out of ATL, GA and love helping build tools for many people to use. I have returned after getting 1.6k users on Hitsnag.com bearing gifts!
I just launched https://www.pitstop.to on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/pitstop)!
I wanted to hear your thoughts or if anyone you knew could use something like this!
More info π
Pitstop lets you do more with any link. It's the easiest way to create a link protected by payment, email, phone, captcha, and or password. Grow your audience when sharing digital resources in Tweets or DMs, meeting links, or even get paid (50% cheaper fees than Gumroad).
Cut to the chase for your digital downloads and services.
π Build your audience/newsletter giving templates away for free and collect contacts for access.
π Let people know what they buy with previews - prevent scams/create more trust.
πͺ Protect any link with requirements.
Why should I use this?
From tutors giving paid lessons over Zoom to creators building Notion templates on Twitter, the options are limitless. Also great for coaches/workshop hosts and for IT/security savvy.
Who should use this?
πββοΈ Emily is a Notioner selling templates on Gumroad making $27.5k/mo with Gumroad's 10% fees when she could instantly earn an extra $1k using Pitstop. She can even collect phone contacts while at it! We value creators and want to give back saving them 50% on fees instead of dipping in your pocket.
πΉ Ivan is a piano teacher and sells courses. Using Venmo, manually scheduling meetings, and spreadsheets to manage contacts, he does so. But with Pitstop - He just a link, gets paid, gets the contacts, and sends them to a Calendly page ahead of time.
π§ Fred is testing new features on his website but does not want to integrate payments or a calendar system to meet with people who would want to pay. Why not test both? Have them pay for a potential feature and schedule a meeting to ask why.
Even more use cases (on website):
βΌ Send protected links in DMs and build your audience
βΌ Charge for Zoom calls, unlisted youtube videos, Vimeo, tutorials, Calendly links, and more
βΌ Get and export meeting attendee's contacts
βΌ Make money off of your knowledge
Creators can even use it to just:
Know someone who should use this? @ them π
Cheers!
This is awesome - Need to send this to my friend who makes templates all the time π±βπ

This website is very helpful. Very good service, reliable site. Highly recommended to you all.
Congrats on the Product Hunt launch! π
40 upvotes?! Dang thats sweet
Much needed tool for template creators & Indie content creators. You have your audience in mind, and Pitstop does solve a plethora of things for that audience. Congrats on your launch! πβ
Nice product, and congrats on the launch. Also, go dawgs (class of 2009 here)!
NO WAY - Small world @channingallen!! My brother goes to UGA (I still root for them over at GT myself in the username but don't tell anyone I said that).
Let me know if you have thoughts on getting https://www.pitstop.to out into the world!
Such a good idea π‘
Know anyone who could use it @JordanR?
Great idea Aidan! We've been exploring membership site options to gate some content that we plan on pushing out to our audience as part of a new product we're bringing to market. Looks like a cool option to explore!
At this stage, is it built for sending one-off links? Or does it function like a membership site where you can build subscriptions to access gated content?
Heyo! Are you looking for email campaigns? You can build one-time payments at the moment. Feel free to reach out over the chat box on the site and I am happy to see what we can do for you! :)
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. Would love to hear if/when you build out subscription options.
I've always wanted a way not to have a storefront but still get emails for free resource blasts. Nice work!
This is very impressive, how long did it take for you to compile the full list? Are you planning on selling an airtable version of this at some point? I'm creating a list of marketing tactics for SaaS, and while my list is about 600+, I am having a hard time putting it to good use toolcent.com
This is cool. Clean product.
It's a great idea!
it looks great
This looks great! I have been working on a project sort of like this, https://turbolink.io, that provides paid links to self-hosted content. Mine charges 2% but it doesn't have the multitude of features that Pitstop has. Great job!π
Nice we have the same fees! Yours has focus at least, which is a lot better than selling many use cases.
I'd also suggest looking at https://paid.link
Awesome tool Aidan! Would love to use it and know your journey.
Shoot an email to me on that support email or chat box and happy to talk shop!
Wow - I really like this.
Nice same comment but thanks!
