    Tech My Latest Project: VendBits - a Marketplace for Digital Products - Payments Made Directly to Sellers



    After several years on and off development I have launched VendBits, a marketplace for digital products. https://vendbits.com

    The general idea is to allow users to sell any type of digital product: images (photos, digital art, stock photos), audio (audio books, sound effects, music), videos (movies, vlogs, stock video), software (games, WordPress themes & plugins, scripts), domain names, writings (stories, articles) and accept PayPal, Stripe (CC billing, soon to be integrated), Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

    I have also released an API in alpha stage with endpoints for retrieving, adding, editing and deleting the items for sale. https://vendbits.com/api

    I plan on building out more endpoints to match the functions of the web app such as user registration, login, password reset, uploading avatars, search results, tag results, category results, edit profile, edit settings, etc..

    I used the Laravel PHP framework for the web app and API which I have become familiar with over the past few years.

    So far, I have only built the endpoints for retrieving, adding, editing and deleting the items for sale.

    Please go ahead and post your feedback here as I would love to get some of your input. Cheers!

    Looks great so far. Stripe will be interesting, they've started to draw their shit a little closer recently - will you be taking stripe and passing value on or integrating client stripe (much better)?

      Thank you for the compliment.

      Regarding Stripe, did you mean am I using my Stripe account to accept payment and pay sellers after a certain period or direct instant payment to seller accounts? I plan on facilitating direct payment to sellers, like eBay.

              Selling adult content ( photo sets and videos ) will be ok?
              Not at the moment because of PayPal and Stripe which don’t allow adult.

                Selling adult related domains, websites and software is fine though.
