flashahhahh··on Poynt – Smart payment terminal
From my prospective a competing product does not exist that fits into the targeted market. Price point, simple integration, agnostic platform... we use a blend of Vend (Brick) & Shopify (Online) and the transition to integrate something like this is simple, straightforward and cheap.

Traditional carriers like Verifone or NCR, your costs are high (typically for enterprise) and implementation is anything but straightforward.

What other payment product that is not a dongle solves these varied payment problems for hosted solutions like vend, lightspeed, shopkeep, etc and is plug and play?

flashahhahh··on Ditto: 3D virtual try-on
Love this feature. I've seen something similar to it from Raen http://raen.com/shop/sunglasses/castor/

Does someone have a recommendation regarding steps to setup up something similar for footwear? I understand this would have to be done with some augmented app as tilting your desktop or laptop camera to shine on your feet is a bit awkward.

Would both of these features just be utilizing http://fitlive.youarethemodel.com/ http://fitmetrix.youarethemodel.com/

Simple customer here as well.

Enjoy the service, thought I'd add on to the downsides as well:

Some merchant accounts view your Simple account as a Pre-paid card, which may (has for me) caused issues with refunds & deposits. From simple's fantastic (they really are fantastic and responsive) support:

"We share a BIN (the first 4 digits of your card number) with a lot of prepaid cards, and a lot of merchants have policies about anything that looks like a prepaid card. That being said, your Simple card is not a prepaid card -- it's associated with a personal checking account at our partner bank."
