so you might remember that i posted about our beeb.ee store recently and how @dayleeo added some new designs last month (part of her accountability for the month of feb) and we decided to order some as if you were going through the experience yourself.
turned out to be problematic and made us revisit what we might use as the front end, while gum road is great for hipster one click, one thing using a picture and a video it’s not really great for t-shirts with multiple colours and sizing, it’s just a bit, well clunky.
the other thing is that the weekly payout failed because of my bank account which is with a payg card ‘engage’ — i’ve since swapped that out for a new digital startup with app called monese which i love and that i can top up at a local post office here in the uk, basically it works both ways — send and receive from it and the sort code and code is linked directly to the account.
lesson learned.
so we wait now until the funds are across to the new account and then we can fund the production of the shirts from prihtful and test their latvian drop shipping and making facility.
which leads me nicely on to my crypto shirts that i received today.
as you can see from the photoshoot with @dayleeo today they are perfect and the price was even better, i think they are using prihtful for the back end and delivery the same as what i expect from our own printful shirts for people buying in the EU, saves waiting for printing and shipping from US.
the best thing is that i paid for my three crypto shirts with crypto itself (result!) based on some DASH profits i made over a few days, i basically took the profits and paid on a website that runs coinpayments.net to handle the crypto payment part — obviously that’s our next step, to make and deploy beeb.ee on another platform (maybe home-brew) so we can accept crypto payments.
it’s going to require us to have a kitty of fiat i’m thinking for this to work but i think it’s a nice way for us to setup a business that we can then deploy in estonia via their commerce solution and do the hand off to printful for delivery in EU fast from latvia and the usual base in the US - perfect! :)
it’s all starting to fit into place, setup the company, setup the store, have no stock and have it all drop shipped on demand and then build on that for getting hold of the digital nomad visa in 2019 — anything else we want to sell we can also SHIP to the drop shipping location and list on our site, we can even put things in with the shirts. already setup and free steem accounts anybody ;)
think it’s gonna be a rapid learn couple of weeks to find a decent store that has a plugin that works with printful and the coinpayments system.
