Show HN: Penny – Sell via Instagram; has an API to automate shipping/verticals

I just launched my first company, Penny. Penny provides a simple way to open an online shop on Instagram. Sellers post a photo of the item along with the price and the hashtag '#paywithpenny'. Buyers can then purchase the item by posting '#sold' in the comments.

It also has an API (http://www.paywithpenny.com/api) so you could pontentially automate shipping (if you have some sort of drop-shipping setup) or even manufacturing for on-demand items such as art prints.

To celebrate the launch, we launched a bunch of koozies into (near) space and are selling them via @beentospace on Instagram. Proceeds will go to charity.

This sounds pretty amazing, though I would love to see the actual user flow after the #sold comment. Couldn't find an about page or a blog post though..

So ridiculous and cool

So awesome!

Awesome!
