Couple of huge red flags on this site: no company about page, dead links to Twitter and Insta, half baked single feature api doc reference. Wouldnt ever sign up for such a service, screams scam

> Wouldnt ever sign up for such a service, screams scam

Why are you getting upset over a landing page that can be changed in seconds? I just signed up and it appears to be working. This over-reaction to a landing page really is just petty and an over-reaction which is very frequent on this site.

You are also breaking the guidelines here, with such shallow dismissals from [0]:

   Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

To the OP, You can ignore these commenters like this one here as they are the irrelevant screeching voices of the minority, and just continue to keep building your product.

To OP, note all the negative comments are about your design or simple things to fix. No one mentions your value prop - so that's good.

> While other payment processors take 1% or more on every payment you receive, we take only $0.05 per payment.

What about network tx fees?

Tx fees are paid by the senders, not the recipients.

Payment processor fees on a decentralized system with no need for a middleman, very cool, definitely not entirely antithetical to value prop of crypto itself

Yeah for sure, but $0.05 AND $10 or whatever the fee is means it's still not suitable for most vendors, except on large purchases that have a % based fee.

This must be the most crudely put together site I have seen in a while. With all the broken links, no background info etc. Maybe it is still a work in progress?

Looking at the source, there are all the marketing statements for TailWindCss in the html code:

    Tailwind CSS is the only framework that I've seen scale on
    large teams. Its easy to customize, adapts....

Did the coder start with copy+pasteing the TailWind homepage?

I wonder what other monsters are to be found if we dig deeper into this.

The app itself seems to be built with "ZenDesk". What is that?

Quick notes:

- Your website says "Etherium" instead of "Ethereum" btw.

- Also "Is there ... fees" instead of "Are there ... fees"

- Link to the demo video doesn't work.

Otherwise sounds cool, but I'd like to know about the security/trust model.

The link from the FAQ (https://docs.payonix.io/get-paid) is broken

Besides the red flags, if it's/becomes reputable it'd be great for receiving money directly, especially here where PayPal is blocked.

Gross

Looks good, is there any plan to support Monero?

Also where is the legal presence for this? How does it work? Its lacking a lot of details.
