I make about $200/month with olodolo.com but it’s not completely passive as I need to manually handle things like disputes and refunds. I’d say maybe 2h/month.

Yeah I charge an additional 10-15%, which you can see once you select an item to purchase. And yeah after that I act just just like a dropshipper.

I’ll take this opportunity to plug a (now profitable!) side project of mine: https://olodolo.com allows making AliExpress purchases using crypto. Since AliExpress doesn’t support PayPal this won’t immediately kill me, but the writing might be on the wall.

Hi, I did try the demo. Based on it and your comment I see your product having the following benefits: refunds, (much)nicer UI, more customizable, and faster transactions (3 minutes? are you still accomplishing that when transfer times are generally slower than that?).

However CoinPayments is cheaper (0.5% per transaction), and supports many more coins and features. For example they can easily be set up to collect shipping addresses for me so that I don't have to. They do send a variety of receipt emails as well, but something nicer/customizable would be preferable. I could accomplish all of this using the CoinPayments API rather than the prebuilt buttons, but that would require a lot more work on my end.

I would be willing to move to something with a nicer, more customizable UI if the cost/feature gap was closed. Good luck with this!

Olodolo.com currently uses coinpayments.net for this. What benefits do you offer over their implementation? I have actually been looking for a nicer system to switch over to.
