Nice work. I liked the instant pdf viewer. Kudos for your efforts.

Only thing I would suggest is, to support different tax formats (or provide an ability to fill custom tax format name that applies to the whole invoice). Right now, it is largely VAT. In some countries, it may not be relevant.

(Having said that, as a work around, currently anyone can use Notes field to fill custom tax details and hide all VAT related fields.)


Thanks for the feedback, will take a look into supporting custom tax formats

UPD: Created an issue to investigate

You can check out bannerbear (and bunch of others) who are already in this space. There is a clear need here. Wish you Good luck for your first SAAS journey.


Just want to say this is an awesome work and much needed product in the market.

Hope you get good leads for ERPNext premium offerings through this. It's important for more open source projects to flourish in the market.


This is interesting and at the very least novel. Kudos for that.

Can you walk an extra mile and implement your version for https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld & https://github.com/tastejs/hacker-news-pwas.

This helps to benchmark how intuitive is the framework for creating complex apps.


Congratz on the launch.

I have some questions

1. If a startup is not incorporated, can we still use Razorpay ? I guess instamojo allows it

2. If I have a static site, can I still use Razorpay for payments ?

3. What is the turnaround time for depositing the money into sellers bank account ? What is the frequency ?

4. Do you provide some webhooks functionality ?


I'll leave the rest for harshil and shk to answer.

2. Currently, we follow an auth+capture model. Our authorization is completely client-side, which means it can be performed in a browser. However, to make sure that others cannot use the same code as yours to authorize payments, captures require you to have a backend of some sort.

4. Currently no, but we plan to do this in the future.


1. Not at this time. We will be launching support for that soon. 2. Yes, you can but then you will have to manually capture the payments from dashboard. 3. The money is transferred on T+2 day where T is day of transaction. 4. Not a this time. We definitely want to support that very soon.


Thanks for the answers.

Reg (2) Is it like https://stripe.com/checkout ? What you meant by capture the payments from dashboard ? Do you mean I have to pull the payment details from dashboard api ?

One last question : How extensively net banking is supported ?


Yes, its similar.

No, you just need to login on the Razorpay dashboard and click on capture on the payments you want to transfer to your account.

We support 35+ banks in netbanking right now.


Thanks.

Some of q & a here can be part of FAQ section in the site.


Sure. We will update it going forward.


Let me add my understanding. Please correct me if it is wrong.

Actual user case if everything is in place:

1. you are in a website using browserid protocol/persona (eg. http://crossword.thetimes.co.uk/)

2.hit the login link. Give your email address (superuser123@gmail.com or superuser123@yahoo.com)

3.it prompts for your password - gmail password or yahoo password

4.post authentication it takes you to the website with user session as superuser123@gmail.com/superuser123@yahoo.com - eg crossword.thetimes.co.uk

5.In a nutshell, end user doesn't need to create a new userid & password for using the website, as long as he knows his emailuserd/emailpassword

Present use case - since few things are missing

1. you are in a website using browserid protocol/persona (eg. http://crossword.thetimes.co.uk/)

2.hit the login link. since gmail & yahoo as email providers not implemented browserid/persona protocol, you will asked to create an account in persona.org with any of your existing email address.(gmail / yahoo).

persona.org will send you a verification link to check if you really own your email address. Click on the verification link and you are verified to use persona.org account in all the places where browserid is supported

3.in the login page - it prompts for a new password if you are a new user or existing password if you are a returning user - this is the password for the email address used in persona.org registration.

4.post authentication it takes you to the website with user session as superuser123@gmail.com/superuser123@yahoo.com - eg crossword.thetimes.co.uk

5.In a nutshell, two things will change in future - no login window from persona.org & no need to create account in persona.org


That's completely spot on. Right now, if your email provider doesn't have native support, we ask you to create a persona.org account so that Mozilla can vouch for you. In the future, this goes away.

Similarly, the UI is all displayed in response to navigator.id.* functions. If a browser implements those natively, the Persona UI at login.persona.org completely goes away.

The more successful Persona is, the less Mozilla is involved in the login process. :)


So if i signup now with my @gmail account through persona.org, what happens when google starts supporting browserid natively?


Then you'll start seeing an authentication page hosted by Google, instead of the Persona fallback. Native options are always tried first, both for client-side navigator.id functions, and for server-side authentication. If one of those is missing, then login.persona.org fills in for that component.


The BrowserID protocol states that Google should be used for authentication, instead of the fallback persona.org account.


> 3.it prompts for your password - gmail password or yahoo password

Yes. In this case the "it" that prompts for your password will be an iframe served from gmail/yahoo. Once they support Persona natively, login.persona.org is no longer in the loop and your gmail/yahoo password goes directly to gmail/yahoo.


Having the (say) GMail in an iframe sounds worrying. It's not clear immediately that the embedded page came from GMail, as we cannot see the https scheme in the URL for the iframe - much less any indication that the certificate is trusted etc. This provides an attacker with the possibility to create a fake GMail login page

Why not redirect to GMail (openid-style) with a callback (or failing that, use a pop-up)?


You're talking about a phishing attack and it's actually worse for OpenID http://identity.mozilla.com/post/7669886219/how-browserid-di... Once Persona is integrated into browsers it will offer better security. BTW, the iframe is always in a pop-up for this exact reason. It's never an iframe within the context of the website that initiated the login.


Infact linkedin is lot better these days


I like to use this for my redis setup...what about the data backups for the persistent data..do you manage that?..If yes..what is the frequency ? I think you should provide more data for database services..especially for redis about the memory, disk space & connections. I like to move from redistogo if comparable metrics are provided.


FWIW, I like to know whether you tried marketing this in an offline way to increase the community.

Did you try going to startup events and provide an access for the event members to create a niche community for them?

Though the concept is good, I feel you should reach to the audience when the merits are not clear over HN.

Since you are based in India, I feel you may go to the weekend startup meets and toss up this idea.

My 5 paise...


Interesting...there is a huge migration from Brazil to China..can someone point out whats the reason?


I'm inclined to believe it's wrong data.

It could be there was some so-called return immigration, with Chinese-Brazilians going to China during the times of high unemployment rate on Brazil (as lots of Japanese-Brazilians did). But as a Brazilian I've never heard of that, so 50k sounds implausible.
