Weaponcrates

We took sometime to redesign the way we do business and hire some new senior staff to direct the project. Previously we used to act as a sort of escrow, taking a small free during the payment process (money was moved though stripe and we used the 7 day window for payout as a sort of escrow window). This worked for a few weeks (as you can see by our stripe data), it started to cause issues with completed sales that happened in under 7 days as we could not payout faster then 7 days.

We reflected on this and as a core part of the platform used this method we had a problem. So we closed to save money and rebuild the service.

Now we relaunch old platform with stripe payments happening for account upgrade subscriptions and direct sales to third party services like PayPal.

We hit 50k likes on facebook. We adopted a strategy of sharing content and memes from other publicly shared mediums like reddit and facebook pages. This gained us a audience from the real steel shooter community

We hit 6,000 registered users on our platform.

We rushed our launch because of the high demand for a place to sell airsoft stuff, facebook started to mass ban users.
