Apps should do one thing and one thing well. Making SN a "mini-ebay" would necessitate a huge uptick in moderation (and therefore .. *shivers* .. moderators) so as to not make the site legally liable.
I think ads/jobs listing type section could be an option for this, that way the platform isn't spammed with classifieds all the time and dilutes signal and SN can just have a section in a classified type post to list the places you list your product for purchase be that a private site, a nostr marketplace client or some other platform
this is what I'm using now on a static website, kinda caveman but it helps eliminate spam. The real guys identify with ISO numbers in other Countries.
Thanks Rich
Yes, I deeply apologize Brother I was just showing some of the fields that are dealt with on a daily basis, that might be food for thought on anyone who's currently building a marketplace/shopping cart/ordering form, system etc.
I'll do my best to not rush and this type of a comment that so that it will be clearer of my intentions in the spirit of helping somehow someway.
I will be posting specifics during this week thanks for your understanding
I am adding the directory where the results will be shown regardless if they are buyers, sellers or both hopefully probably by Friday afternoon.
I cannot express enough that it will be great for as many people making a Nostr shopping cart to take these things into consideration.
In the meantime Shopify with IbexPay works fine, these real World issues ANY complete shopping cart ordering system, marketplace whatever name you want to use have to include:
MULTIPLE line items of products items.
The ability to select the specific size
The ability to select different colors
The ability to calculate shipping costs
The ability to show Harment Codes must have for International orders
The ability to reference or show prices in USD first, and then bill out in SATS.
Obviously we need an api that can pull the actual real time of Bitcoin, haven’t scent that yet.
The ability to create an auto increment order number and send confirmation with the details after the payment has posted to the customer.
The ability for the SELLER to receive the order confirmation and payment details as well by email.
The ability to auto deduct the physical inventory of the items just sold.
These are part of what is on the Shopify platform now, it works.
I fully realize the reply to my first posting “it’s not Nostr”, yep I know that just trying to point out to anyone that’s building a Nostr version of this these are basic items that need to be included.
We’re all on the same side we believe in Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, Mining, Freedom.
marketsub will be enoughtnostr
